    New to Hanging in PA

    Hello all, I'm new to hammock camping. Just started taking up backpacking again after many years off. I have a 17 year old son who has an interest in hiking and camping. We have been doing a lot of day hikes and went on a few overnighters. I needed to update my gear and started researching on the web to see what others are doing. I stumbled on "SHUG" videos, bought a cheep hammock, made a tarp and went backpacking. I love it. The group I go packing with (my son, brother and friend) are all thinking of hanging. I'm set up before they have found a level place to pitch the tents. I am interested in doing some DYI stuff and making changes to improve my rig. Love the site and I'm looking forward to interacting and learning. Thanks

    Experts are the ones who think they know everything. Geniuses are the ones who know they don't.

    You need seek no rocky summit, for these high places are within you.

    Just down the road in Milton. If I can help out let me know. I'm not much for distances since I am mobility impaired to some degree. But I can help with diy and other stuff if you need.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    Welcome from NJ. I also got here after seeing Shug's Videos !! He really inspired me to get back to the woods.
