    Hello from a hacker in Colorado

    I've been lurking on the forums for a few weeks now reading and soaking up all the info I can. I used to hike and backpack as a younger man but have basically given it up for the last 15 years mostly because of young kids and a wife that hates the outdoors. I am looking at getting back into ultralight backpacking and had found hammock camping in a previous stint of research. As I get closer to getting my gear assembled I've been amazed by how warm and welcoming the community on HF is. I'm a DIYer/Hacker at heart and I'm blown away at how welcoming this community is to people making their own gear. My fist sewing project will be a backpack then I'm moving onto a hammock and a tarp. I look forward to you help and feedback as I go along and want to say a big thank you to all the members that are so awesome and giving with helpful information.

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
