    Western Mass!

    Hey there, names Paul.

    I've been in the outdoors a good bit but not in a hammock until about 3 days ago. I was intrigued by the idea as soon as i saw it and i may already be converted..

    picked up a hennessy on the october sale, and am loving it so far. haven't slept a night indoors since i got it

    I'm a student at Umass Amherst, studying Kinesiology. Anyone else in the Western MA area?

    Welcome to the forum. I'm from somewhat your area, eastern NY. There are quite a few hangers from your area, they may not go into the intro forum. Keep an eye on the profiles on the left side of the reply window and you may find people from your area.

    Thumbs up SE Mass Sappy

    I'm from southeast mass myself, but like to hike out in the western part of the state, Mt. Greylock or Mt. Washington State Forest, Mt. Alander, etc. I've been out there many times and am planning a trip to Greylock the first weekend of November. Taking my buddy who's a first time backpacker, to show him the glory that is hammocking (he will be tenting unfortunately, but hope to convert him soon).
