    Brand new to hammocking so need lots of advice. No friends have hammocks so I'm going it alone. I'm loving the site and have ordered a WBRR.

    I'm 70 years young and am looking forward to learning new skills.

    Welcome from jersey, for being new to hammocking you sure did pick a good hammock to start out with! Enjoy and keep reading, more than likely everything you need to know about hammocking is in the pages of this site,i have never asked a question on here that someone didnt answer, a whole world of knowledge here! free for the taking, but it doesnt hurt to donate either.

    Welcome to the forums from Ohio! I'm recently new to the forums and hammocking myself. You will find so much information here and everyone is so friendly.
    With a radical sense of hope, I strive for the seemingly impossible.

    Welcome
    Go to this section of the forum
    https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...play.php?f=114
    And look for a hang near you. Even if you do not want to stay the night go visit with the other hangers. You will get a lot of ideas on what works. I was at the IL_hang? Last week. For a short visit you could have gotten to the camp ground with a 100yd walk.
