    Howdy from N. TX

    I haven't made the change to a hammock yet, but have been doing research for the last several months and decided that it is the way to go. The wife is going to get me a Black Bird next week, can't wait to test it out.

    After a week long kayaking trip down the Pecos River, sleeping on solid limestone, I convinced by buddy that we're getting too old to sleep on the ground and both need hammocks. We're planning a hike on the AT in April, looking forward to finally sleeping well in the woods.

    Nice to find a place with like minded folks, any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the group. I love my Blackbird! If you have any questions feel free to ask. Maybe I will see you on the AT this spring.

    You won't be disappointed. Welcome neighbor! I'm jealous of your AT plans.

    Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Hope to be a little more involved once I get set-up with a rig and try it out.
