    Howdy from Illinois

    I am new to,hammock camping, but fairly experiences temt camping. Just saying Hi to all you experts. Looking forward to meeting y'all.

    Started hammock camping on a whim. Bought a hammock wit a gift card from a friend thinking it would be cool to have at a week lo ng Scout trip. After I bought it I googled how to hang it and saw Shug's videos. I was hooked ever since.

    I camped in it several nights, but not near enough. Anyway howdy from the Chicago area.

    Hello

    Zip
    Hello from another Chicago area hanger. There are not a lot of get-together’s in this area but there are a few. Watch the “Midwest section under “Hangouts, Campouts, and Trip Planning”. About 3 weeks ago a group of us got together down near Channahon that I made it to. It is fun to see how others set up and what gear they have.

    I saw theChannahon hang, but couldn't make due to schedule. I am a Scoutmaster for our Troop, and we were camping that weekend.

    Not yet. I'm a little under the wx but have plans to throw it up this week and see how it works. I need some experience trying different hangs to understand what I'm doing.

    No expert, but a friendly hi anyway!
    Gentlemen, the good news is that you've been lied to, there is an easy day. The bad news is that you just missed it. It was yesterday. . . If that'a problem just ring the bell.
