Hello from central Missouri

**momedic** · 02-08-2013, 10:38

Hello everyone,
My name is Joe & I live in central Missouri near Rolla. We are newbs to hanging. I got a SB Pro & the wife has a SB. I got a Bushcraft 12x12, gona try and stick to a single tarp even when we double hang, have to see how that works out. I have found this site to be a great asset to modifying my set-up. Gonna switch out the original hardward for some whoopie slings, got a roll of Amsteel Blue ordered, I have atlas straps but may do something a bit different to reduce some bulk/weight.
Anyway see ya all on the trail.

Hey I'm originally from the Rosebud MO area, a little north of you.. Currently residing in Iowa however. Hunting for a way to get back to those parts eventually.

Welcome to the forum from sunny (it's raining today) central California.

A big welcome from just down the road in the Springfield area. You're in a great spot for some good hangs. Keep an eye on the Midwest hangs for upcoming outings.

Oh hey, I just noticed your town listed in your profile info. One of my cousins grew up in St. James (now lives in Union). I agree that great hanging opportunities surround you down that way.

I used to live near Union in St Clair.

There is a lot of areas to hang from, hoping to get out to the Berryman Trail soon, would also like to do some overnight kayaking this summer on the Current & Jacksfork Rivers
