    Hello from Ontario

    Greetings from Ontario!

    A longtime backcountry camper, I have been hanging for a little over a year now and my back and the rest of these tired joints are most thankful. I started out with a Hennessy hammock and was quite pleased, but have taken the plunge and have just bought a whole bunch of new gear, including a Warbonnet Blackbird and an UQ from Hammock Gear.

    These forums are fantastic! I have learned and am learning so much -- not only about the ins-and-outs of a proper hang, but about a much lighter approach. Most of my time in the outdoors is spent paddling, but I am beginning to dabble in backpacking -- at least as much as my wonky knee will allow. If anything, adopting some backpacking principles will make for an easier time on the portages!

    Welcome from down the 401 in London. I posted this in your other thread but I'll post it here as well.

    Welcome BrknArrow, from Huntsville, Ontario. I'm new here myself, having only joined a few days ago. Man...have I learned a lot in a little bit of time. All I need now is a hammock.

    Cheers,
    -Martin
