    New guy from Chicago

    Hello guys and gals,

    I don't think my girlfriend had any idea the new venture she would be putting me into by picking me up a doublenest ENO for Christmas...

    I think she figured it out quickly as she got to listen to parts 1-9 of Shug's youtube videos!

    I will be taking my ENO out for the first time in two weeks to central Michigan in Manistee National Forest to do some primitive winter camping. Thanks for all your help so far planning my insulation and layout of my gear!

    Hope everyone is having a great 2011!

    -Brian

    He brings a sleeping bag, you bring an under quilt. He brings a tent, you bring a hammock... THAT'S the Chicago way.

    Welcome to hammock heaven.
