    Hello from Iowa

    Hey Guys,
    I googled "Bwca trip reports", my sons and I are planning another trip after a few years layoff, and lo and behold I found the Shug's videos, (like so many others before me). That was Saturday, Now I've spent several hours watching hammock videos,reading hammock forums, and daydreaming about the "Piney Woods".
    My camping history is Bwca canoe trips and family camping in a pop up camper. Backpacking has always held an allure for me but I have not done any. I am in a bit better shape nowadays, after losing a little weight(ok a lot of weight)(It is embarrassing how much I had to lose). and want to try some new things. I have started and stopped and started training to run a 5k. I believe Doctors call what I have a "midlife crisis".
    Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll ever get off the ground, but this stuff is cool, and I admire all you guys who can find the time and energy to get out in the woods their own way. I need a night or two of that. On a side note, Shug, If your listening, judging from the videos, your home is one big, wicked cool, mancave, gadget emporium, cool hangout, and I am jealous! My wife has allocated me, half of a shelf in the basement for my toys.....
