Hi everyone!
I'm a hammock newbie living in Sweden. I'm so much of a beginner that my hammock is still shipping.
I live in central Sweden where there are plenty of trees. I used to camp a lot in my youth but haven't been able to in a long time for health reasons. Now I want to do it again. I first planned for a tent, but since I have some issues with pain I need to sleep in some kind of comfort and I realized that a sleeping pad thick enough to give me that would weigh a ton.
Then it dawned on me - of course I should get a hammock! The options are more limited here in Europe than in the US, I think. And importing means extra costs. So for that reason and others I limited my choices to DD and Hennessy. I chose a Hennessy Jungle Expedition Zip with a Hex fly. I hope I didn't make too poor a choice. I expect it to arrive tomorrow.
We have snow and temperatures close to -20 °C at times. So I won't be testing it for a while.
What's more to say? I'm not much of a walker anymore but I'm out cycling on my recumbent trike almost daily, year around. My hope is to be able to extend my trips in the summer so I don't have to return home in the evening. Most likely I'll be touring a neighboring county this summer.
I'm very excited over this. It'll be so much fun! But I fear I'll have a lot of newbie questions for you... ;-)
