    Greets from the Poconos

    Hello, my name is Brian and I'm a complete cherry to this whole hammock thing. On a whim I tried a hammock on a canoe trip last summer and discovered that it was the best night of sleep that I've ever had in the woods. I've used it a few time since then and I am a TRUE BELIEVER.

    My rig is a no-name nylon hammock with an Equinox tarp. I cut the ropes at either end of the hammock short and installed rings so's I can adjust my suspension. The tarp is a separate deal all together.

    I'd like to graduate to a load bearing ridge line to maintain that plush, comfy sag and some those dutch-clip thingers. But, I have questions, lots of 'em. No worries, I'll search long and hard before I post any.

    Among other things, I dig motorcycles ('cepting Harleys, but to each their own), bullet launchers, inventing, writing, backpacking, cycling, booze, and zombie theory.

    See you around,

    Bgeezer

    Welcome to HF! Feel free to ask all the questions you want that you can't find on the board. This place is filled with smart people willing to help out.
    You're going to fit in right in with your zombie theory. There is a couple threads on here just dedicated to the zombie apocalypse.

    Welcome bgeezer. The name on the rig isn't important at all as long as your using it. You'll graduate soon enough with all the info on here. You can search for days and still have questions so don't be afraid to ask. All the folks here are very knowledgeable and friendly. Be sure to check out Shug's vids.

    I will look into this.

    With regard to that Shug fellow, I've seen some of his stuff on Youtube. Great stuff to be sure, I dig his ethic.

    Welcome to the world above the ground! I was raised in the Poconos, went to high school at Pococno Mountain Jointure in Swiftwater and lived in Tobyhanna. Most of my faimily still lives up there. I get back there three or four times a year.

    It's a different place now for sure. I see you're from MD, my sister lives in Big Pool, near Clear Spring.
