    Greeting from Greenville (NC)

    Hello All, I am completely new to hammocks.

    How did I end up here? I've spent a lot of time researching tents to round out my backpacking gear and survival kit and the more I researched, the less I liked. But a quick google search of "hammock forums" turned up this gem of a site and needless to say, I'll be getting a hammock instead.

    ...I just don't know what type yet as there seems to be a good variety of awesome hammocks.

    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.

    Hello from Greensboro. Have fun researching hammocks and don't let your head explode! I have been happy with my DIY hammocks, so I don't have any sage advice on the ones for sale by the great vendors here. Welcome.

    Thanks! Looks like there is a greta mix geography-wise here.

    My head IS already spinning from choices and features, lol.

    So what do you call someone who uses hammocks? A .... hammock...er?
