    First Hanging Backpack Trip!

    Just want to say thanks to all for the information I found on this forum. Just got back from a week of backpacking in Ohio's Shawnee State Forest. Used my tablecloth hammock and Chinook tarp and slept better then I ever have in the woods. The nephew used a GT ultralight and blue tarp and had a blast. A little storm the first night put everything through a nice test and held up perfectly. And a bear sighting always makes for an exciting trip. Thanks again...
