I'm not dead yet
Hi all from Missoula, Montana. New to this and hope my back likes hammocks better than the ground. Joined here to learn lots and save myself the mistakes others made before me. I may be old and broken but I'm not that smart either, if you know what I mean.
Seriously, I am glad to have found a group that is willing to share the volumes of knowledge they possess. I really don't want to buy 5 or 6 hammocks before I find one I like so I plan to read and ask stupid questions that I couldn't find the answers to.
I'm 54 yrs old, overweight, and have a very bad back but have been backpacking most of my life. Interestingly, my back is more than willing to haul a 45lb pack up into the mountains here - it just isn't willing to sleep on 2 inches of foam without making me pay dearly the next morning. I'm hoping a hammock will allow me to get more than 5 hrs from a road. (5hrs in - 5hrs out or I don't walk straight for 3 days)
Thanks all for having me,
Dave
