    Good morning from the flat lands of Kansas

    I'm originally from Pa. area but moved to Ks. sometime back. I became interested in backpacking and hammocks several months ago when at our family reunion in the smoky mountains my brother shared about a section hike on the AT he just completed. He displayed a lot of his gear and stretched out his hammock (Hennessy). I am going to complete a section hike on the AT next summer and have been researching and collecting gear. I've completed several day hikes checking out the limited gear I have already acquired.
    I found this site via YouTube while researching different hammocks. This is 'the' best site I've found discussing hammocks and thought I would sign up. I really like the Thunderbird but I want to check out as many as possible.

    What section of the AT are you planning on doing? I look forward to hearing about it.

    Good morning from the flat lands of Kansas

    Welcome from Alabama!

    I had a short, but enjoyable trip to Kansas (Kansas City and Wichita) two months ago. I got to see some places I had not seen before.
