Hello everybody. I'm new to the site and I've always came across the site when I was doing my research on hammocks two years ago. This was always the hub of intel when it came to hammock anything. It finally took me two years to finally join the site. I still feel new the hammock camping as I've only hammock camped a handful of times in the two year span. Most of the time I usually jump on tent camping because the areas I camp don't allow hammocks. Anyway, I love hammock camping and if I could use one every time I go backpacking or car camping I would choose a hammock.
My hammock backpacking experience is limited. I've only used my hammock setup four times on backpacking trips. My first backpacking trip was at Big Sur on the Vicente Flats trail. It was also the first time I used my hammock rig. Photos of the trip is in my gallery. The second time was at Zion on the Virgin River Narrows. My best friend was able to get passes to camp on one of the nine or so camp sites and there are plenty of trees to hang. My third trip was at Colson Canyon, but I forgot the name of the trail. This was probably my worst backpacking trip. My fourth and last was just south of Big Sur on Salmon Creek trail. Every experience was always the best sleep ever, but I learned a lot of things about backpacking as well as taking from the few mistakes I made along each trip. Very humbling and loved each trip with the good and bad.
Lastly I just acquired a pass along with my friends for Havasupai in Arizona in late March. I plan on using the hammock rig Photos will be posted.
I kinda rambled on, but thank you for having me and if y'all have any question just let me know and I'll do my best to give you an answer. Cheers!
