    Arrow Howdy From Texas

    Hey I'm from the DFW area and have just started using hammocks as an alternative to tents. I am an Eagle scout and am still active as an adult.
    Any tips for using a hammock or about good hammock brands would be more than welcome!!

    current load out

    1 byer Brazilian-style hammock
    1 BSA backpacking poncho/tarp(subject to change)
    1 ton of rope

    I'm using a mix of para chord and 217-678lbs strength boat anchor rope to tie my hammock up

    I represent the cheap diy or get-it-on-sale style of camping
