    How's it hangin', from Huntsville

    Halloo! I'm a newb from Huntsville, Texas and I'm SO relieved this place exists! Once upon a time I was a pretty gung-ho day hiker (we're talking teens, here) and it really never left my heart. I've made some small effort to go camping a couple times a year, but it's mostly been to festivals/retreats/the odd beach trip Etc. Playing in the woods has always been my happy place.

    SO, now I'm jumping in the deep end head first and intend to hit the ground running (well, sprinting maybe... jog? (ok, a brisk walk, but at least I'm back out here)). I've seen a few people hammock camping and I've always wanted to get into it, so here I am! I've got a ton of questions, itching to get my first hammock, and looking for any and all suggestions and advice. Also, any groups nearbyish that are cool with a girl and her awesome, barky, trail dog tagging along

    Welcome, BossLady. You've definitely come to the right place. I'm relatively new to this, too, and have learned a ton of stuff from generous and experienced people here.

    Welcome aboard. And if you're ready and willing to get out there in the woods with some other hangers check out the Goodwater Loop trip being planned for the beginning of April.
