    Hello from MN

    I’ve been lurking long enough. Hello from St Paul MN. I had the pleasure of spending a week last winter hanging in my living room (a loaned ENO) and it was the most restful sleep I have had in all my many decades. I now understand why so many "hang at home". A BlackBird & Traveler is now on my horizon. A special thanks to so many of the members here thru the past months on your advice and reviews on hammock/camping gear. Have made numerous “going lighter” purchases from your inputs. The longer one reads this forum the more expensive it gets! It is now time to finally pull the hammock(s) etc. trigger. Questions to follow in appropriate threads.

    Welcome to the forum Gunny. BB is a good choice.

    Welcome to the conversation, Gunny!

    The only thing that makes the Minnesota forests more beautiful is seeing them from your gently swaying hammock!
