Hello from Il

[flatlandpaddler]

Thanks for adding me to the group! I'm a newbie hanger. At 55 it was time to get off the ground. My hang time is when me and my sons are canoe tripping. I spend my fall and winter camping, in my canvas outfitters tent. There its cot, pad, quilt and barrel stove. At 6' 4" 230 and a side sleeper i have gone the " Bridge" route and love it. Working through "starter gear" and doing lots of learning for people like you!

Looking forward to a lot more adventures in hanging

Welcome! You gotta get yourself a war bonnet until Just Bill starts production again. Then I recommend his big guy bridge. It’s awesome!

LOL have already been in contact with bill! One of bills or a WBRR is my look ahead plan!

Oh, Wow! You are less than 90miles from BACONFEST 2018 (May 18-20) in Stoughton, WI. It'd be great to have you come out to a hang and meet a bunch of fellow hammock campers!

I usually make to the Rockford hang. Beautiful place along the river.

Hay Magic Saw the "Rockford wing post" on bwca didn't know it was also an overnight. Was hoping to make it for the paddle for sure.
