    First timer greetings from northern VA

    Hi,

    I ve lurking here for the past week reading, and decided to join to try something new after some people have arguing the merits of sleeping off the ground. Now I just need to choose one and order a hammock.

    My only experience with hammocks are reading in the backyard and taking a small nap on a nice sunny day - those kinds of hammocks.

    When I switched to a neoair pad for ultra light backpacking I thought it almost too luxurious but I heard sleeping in a hammock is even more so....

    So far, this looks like a great community which I hope I ll be able to properly contribute to one day.

    A big welcome from Kentucky. Sure hope you find yourself a good hammock. The hard part is deciding which to buy - so many good choices...

    Welcome! I tried air matresses too, on the ground and thought that was comfortable. Then I discovered hammocks and laying on nothing but air
