    Greetings from New Brunswick

    Hi folks,

    my only hammock experience to date has been the hammock seat thats currently hanging in my lounge. However, next week I'll be ordering my first lot of hammock camping gear and should hopefully lose my hammock camping cherry by the end of the month.

    From the reviews I've seen, and I've seen a lot thanks to YouTube etc, it seems there is no off-the-shelf perfect setup, with people mixing and matching all kinds of techniques and equipment from different vendors to find what works best for them.

    That being said I'm now off to the questions bit to read everything and probably ask a ton of question about gear that the reviews didn't answer.

    Welcome from Louisiana! Although relatively new to HF, I've been hammock camping for a couple of years. Gear obsession and debate is half the fun. I highly recommend any/all of Shug's videos. At first, perhaps an acquired taste for some, I love his enthusiasm, entertaining outlook, and rock solid, experienced content. Often times, prior to HF and Shug, I bought one item or another that I later replaced or upgraded. I love my current set up, and contrary to my tenting days, I literally cannot wait to get out and hang. Often, I'll set up in my back yard just to enjoy the night/weather, when cool and/or raining. Hope you enjoy it half as much as I do...

    Hello and welcome to the forums from Indiana! Definitely check out Shug's youtube vids.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."
