    Tim from the Nashville area

    Hey! My name is Tim. I got into hammock camping about a year ago. My buddy and I had been talking about going camping for about 9 years and never actually did it until last year. I used to camp all of the time when I was a kid and only used tents. Before we went on our trip we both bought camping hammocks and when I used it I got the best sleep I've gotten in years! When I got back I found Shug on youtube and watched pretty much all of his videos and hammock camping has now become kind of an obsession for me, lol. That happens to me sometimes. I got into wet shaving and started making brushes and buying all kinds of soaps and now I have started making and collecting hammock gear. I've made the Costco under and top quilts, I've made a winter tarp, I've made fancey feast stoves, Foster's pots and cozy's for them. They all work great too! Now I just got a hammock kit from ripstopbytheroll to make a hammock too. I figured it was about time for me to join the forums too. I am going to my cabin in Ohio in a few weeks and I can't wait to camp outside in the cold! Looking forward to getting involved here and see what I can learn!

    Hey, thanks! Do you have any recommendations for spots close to us? I've been to Bear Island twice but am looking for more places to hike in at least a little ways and camp out in the woods somewhere.

    Welcome from down the road. It sounds like you have the addiction welcome to the lounge. By the way you also have Virgin Falls and Big South fork and the picket State Park. You will not run out of places to go.

    Welcome!

    I'm impressed by your gear making. It's inspiring. I've only made small stuff like a pot cozy and a frost bib. I'd like to move to making a tarp.
