    Pittsburgh noob Hammock camper

    I've always enjoyed the outdoors, but it wasn't until my buddy bought his first hammock that I even knew people camped this way. It looked pretty comfortable and made for less gear to carry in. Why the hell not? I went ahead and bought an ENO doublenest and some whoopieslings after watching Shug's Youtube videos.I just spent the past week camping with my buddies and brought the new toy. Consider me a convert! Wow, talk about comfort and enjoyment. My back has never felt better which is the antithesis of what I thought would happen. Now the only problem is I can't stop buying things for it . Of course now my girlfriend wants one too. My buddies now all have them and we are competing to hang in different places (like planking). Hope to see you all out there!

    Welcome from Texas! I like the idea of starting a hanging trend like planking or owling. Hmmm I'm seeing all kinds of stuff I can hang from ... if I don't get arrested I remember seeing a few pictures of strange places where people hang. Is there a thread on here for that already?
