    Hello from the western Catskills

    Hello all,

    I'm relatively new to hiking, and fully new to hammocking, but I've gotten to a place in my life where I've realized that I need to spend as much time outside (or is it inside) as far back in the woods as I can. I'm planing a move to the California Sierras at the end of next spring, and I'm hoping it will facilitate a lot more of that than winter in the Catskills does, not that the Catskills aren't a great place.

    I found you guys though being hooked on Shug's videos on youtube. (I remember watching a few and thinking to my self "man, this guy's like a circus performer", little did I know...)

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to electronically hanging out with you guys, and learning a bit of the myriad great information you all have. I hope I can be a fraction as helpful to all of you as you'll all be to me. Thanks in advance.

    Take care

    Welcome from Richmond, VA and New Orleans, LA (my two places of residence).

    The first time I saw Shug's videos, my first thought was that he was schizophrenic No offense intended Shug, your videos are great and you make them very entertaining!
