    Sounds exciting. Are your buddies hanging too, or are they ground-dwelling?

    I fondly remember my first night hanging two years ago. As I set up during a deluge of five inches of rain, my ground-dwelling friend was a few feet away in an Adirondack shelter telling me what a fool I was to try and sleep in a hammock.

    "I'm telling you, I have thirty years of camping experience and there is no way you're gonna be dry and comfortable in that hammock. Just forget it and come sleep in the shelter."

    Next morning I woke up dry and refreshed from the best night's sleep I'd ever had camping, while my friend was damp and miserable because rats kept him up all night, running across his sleeping bag.

    The rest of the week, he gave his "this is thirty years of camping talking," speech several more times. The week after our trip, he bought a hammock and hasn't slept on the ground since. Sweet irony!

    Remember, don't hang any higher than you're willing to fall! I'm sure that won't happen! Have a great time.
