Hello from San Antonio, Texas

[matthew2000tx]

Welcome to the madness Matt! You are already getting a ton of useful advice. I've read the book mentioned and it is fun and easy and useful. You have seen an couple of my hammocks and already know of a very nice place to hang behind the Star Shed. Your backyard may have trees about the right distance apart as well.

In your part of Texas, the cedars are terrible for hanging - shaped like they are cabbages. However, there are usually nice spots for hanging from other trees if you look around.

Watch out for fire ants while you are looking up into the trees.

Thanks! Also the Government Canyon Tent areas aren't good for hammock camping too. I'll have to tent camp at times.

Welcome from another hombre from San Anto. Here's hoping that Government Canyon opens up to primitive back country camping (and hanging) soon!

Welcome from DFW. Lot's of texas folks. There's a hang coming up in a couple of weeks not too far from you. You should go!

Welcome aboard!
Pick up a copy of "The Ultimate Hang". Watch Shug's videos. Go over to that hang that SArgevining mentioned.

Purchased a copy on my Kindle.. Enjoyed it so far

Agreed the camp site they do have aren't hammock friendly and the hard plebes on the ground look like they might tear the bottom off a tent after a while.

Just book an overnight at Government Canyon - take a long hike and just find a nice secluded spot off the trail somewhere. They will ever know.
