Ordered a Claytor JH today. I am new to hammock camping and needed something easy to transport and sleep in during river camping trips. I will be floating rivers in my canoe and camping as I go. This is my first post and I look forward to participating on this forum. It looks to be a great forum with knowledgeable folks.
Anyone else river camp?

the matrix has you
I spend about 20-60 nights a year on the river. This is my first year with a hammock, and I have the claytor JH as well. Sleeping in it full time with the wife at home as well. She has her own, not two of us in the same hammock. We are really enjoying them. Gave up our waterbed.
Welcome.

Welcome. I also have a Claytor, but am looking to canoe camp for the first time this year.
You may want to look into swapping the stock suspension system. There are several ideas about how to do so on this site, and I’ve found everyone here to be VERY helpful.
Where do you river camp?

Thanks for the welcome y'all. I am going to the New river this weekend but I will be sleeping in a tent since I just ordered my JH today. I will be over near the Independence/Galax Va. area. But most of the time I will be camping on local rivers here in Southwestern Va. I live about 20 miles from Damascus Va. No shortages of places to camp around here.
I have paddled the Greenbriar in your neck of the woods. Beautiful river, got it on my schedule for next year to do again.

Welcome to Hammock Forums. Happy hanging.
