    Not hanging yet.

    Andy here. Love camping, tired of hauling a truck load of stuff just to get out.
    As the thread title says I'm not hanging yet. I'll be reading and asking questions to figure out what I want/need.

    Welcome from Virginia! All the info can be a little overwhelming at first, but just stick with it and it will clear up soon.

    welcome to the madness

    the stupid question is the one you did not ask so ask away.

    most of us here know what we want, the real question is...do we really need it

    Welcome!

    Have found the Hammock Forums site to be an awesome place to gather knowledge and spur creativity! I'm not the DIY type, but this site and info is changing that!

    Welcome, to the madness!

    What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.
    -- Pierre Elliott Trudeau

    Re: Not hanging yet.

    Welcome
    If you get a chance, look for a group hang in your area. I was in the same boat as you and wanted to see some of the hammocks before buying one. So I attended a group hang (brought my tent) and had a great time.
    Now my wife thought I was off my rocker - you are going to camp with a bunch of strangers you met on the internet? Yep.
    It turned out great.
