Someone's going to hang

And it's pry going to be me.

Hello hangers. My name is Justin, but I'll go by my screen name of DarkSotM. Kinda stumbled on these forums by accident. And to be honest I feel embarrassed about showing off my $20 ebay special after seeing all your nice setups.

Picked up 2 of them. One for me and one for my lady friends birthday in about a week. We both love to go hiking and camping whenever we can, and while thinking how to lighten my load, Hammock popped into my head. Off to ebay! And now that it's here I find this wealth of knowledge on HF.

I know it's not the best (in fact it's the cheapest) but it's what we have.

I don't know how active I'll be here. But after I heard camping "burrito style" said in a post here I knew I had to join. I hope I can offer something to this wonderful community!

Welcome to the madness, and no there is no cure! Only hammock therapy.

Welcome to HF, there's always lots to learn here, even for the experienced guys. There are quite a few threads lightening your pack load active atm, check them out.

Edit: most of those threads will be in the donating member forums.

Welcome to the forums. I am still amazed at how much information there is to learn here, even after hammock camping for a few years. You will love the experience and the help the friendly folks in the forums offer.

don't worry about it. few us started with nice setups. most of us just kind of stumble along until we find a rig we like,

also...welcome to the madness

Thanks for all the kind words! I think I will get along with you folk quite nicely. And if you don't mind I'll hang out (

I know, I'm sure it's been said) for a while.

Welcome from Florida. It doesn't matter what hammock you start with as most of us have more than one hammock anyway. In fact, I like you festive hammocks!
