    Hello from Virgina...

    Hey everyone.

    I'm getting back in to camping (specifically backpacking) come spring, I was planning on tent camping, then I stumbled onto some youtube videos from a guy called Shug (some may know him). Well, since watching those I think I have the hammock bug now. I really like the flexibilty a hammock provides. I just don't where to start or what's good.

    I think most of my trips will be in cooler weather(40's for the lows maybe), I'm not much for summer heat.

    I would really appreciate any advice you would be willing to offer..

    Thanks.

    Ed

    Welcome! I don't have much advise to give you as I have just started hammock camping this past fall so have a bunch to learn. My best advise is read everything here and watch all of Shug's videos. That is what I did and I now have my hammock set up and am working on other gear.

    Another welcome from Augusta. You're making the right decision. I'll be enjoying my hammock on my backpacking trip this weekend. Bring on some cold weather!

    Hey Shug! Gotta say I really enjoy your videos. I guess you're to blame for me wanting to get a hammock! I do like that Blackbird!

    welcome.i say just whip you up a hammock and start testing it out. The sooner you start hanging the sooner you'll know what you want and need
    It's not the fall im scared of, it's the sudden stop at the end!!!

    Only hang as high as your willing to fall- H.F. member
