    hanging from New Jersey

    I'm finally making the jump to hammocking. I purchased a Hyperlite and so far its good but i am trying to work out some issues.
    Anyone else in Bergen county?
    attached is a video and pictures of my first hang.
    any help is greatly appreciated!

    i will have tons of questions...

    I plan to test the hammock out tonight or tomorrow night in the cold rain thats expected. Issue is I dont have.a yard since i live in an apartment. Any local hangs or spots in Bergen county NJ. Only place i know of is the Palisades in Fort Lee but just got off the phone with park superintendent and he told me....NO CAMPING any kind. Sometimes I hate NJ.

    You beat me too it, Jolly.

    come to the 501. Easy to get to, easy to hang, easy to learn and have fun. Although, just so you know, anything that happens at the 501, stays at the 501

    Your options - Just about anywhere along the Appalachian Trail in NJ. Just about anywhere along the Appalachian Trail in NY. Wharton State Forest NJ. Join us at the 501 Shelter PA, it's a chance to look over and talk gear

    Consider taking a ride up to Harriman and hang near one of the shelters.
