    Hello, from Alberta Canada

    Hi all. Just wanted to start by saying that I am excited about my new hammock. Haven't set it up yet; actually, I haven't even recieved it in the mail yet, but I am still really excited. From what I have heard, once you go hammock, you never go back. I have purchased a Hennesy Explorer Asym Zip from MEC because I wanted a light solution to a tent. Tarp and bivy setups were to costly, and tents weighed to much, then I stumbled upon hammocks. I can't wait to actually set it up and sleep in it. There are still a few more weeks of colder tempuratures up here in the Great White North, so I should have an answer to my insulation questions shortly. Anyhow, thanks to Shug for inadvertantly pointing me towards hammock forums, I was watching his Youtube channel and saw the ad. I hope to learn a lot about hanging, and hope that my hammock will keep me warm and dry out there in the bush. Thanks....

    In the weeks to come, I'll be setting up my youtube channel where I will be posting footage of my adventures, so if you are in to watching vids of people hiking and camping, tune in.

    Welcome snidetripod, and myself!

    I've jumped onto your thread snidetripod, as we've both joined on the same day, and I hate to waste paper

    Anyway, I'm also a new member here. Also from Canada (Vancouver). And I'm writing this from the inside of my Mayan hammock that I've just set-up in place of my bed (for the first time in years).

    I'm a fresh Hennessy Exped Asym Zip inhabitor, and have spent 3 of the past 5 days hanging around the various beautiful places within city limits here learning how to drive that fancy hammock. So, yeah, I'm hooked and really hope this wears off soon, as I'm not getting much work done...

    Greetings Y'all!

    Welcome to the both you, from yet another Canadian Hanger. If memory serves me, there are a couple other hangers from Edmonton on the site.

    Just be sure to collect as much overtime pay as you can. Your gear budget with thank you greatly. Otherwise start saving those pennies.

    Cheers

    Brian
