    Newbie from Mass

    Im brand new to hanging. I just as of last night decided on the hammock to go with. And with a lot of information here and a lot of great options that fit my needs. I decided upon a BIAS Camper XL. While its not the lightest it will suit my needs of camping amd backpacking while also being comfurtable and still be way lighter than any tent I have ever owned.

    Thanks to all for the great information and cant wait to learn more.

    Hey, I'm here in Leominster too. Welcome to the hammock world.
    Since I retired, some times I stay awake all day, some times all night.

    Welcome to the forums from western mass as well. Just a heads up keep an eye on the trip planning section for the North East. There is usually a lot of activities that you could attend to checkout other peoples rigs and to get know people on the forums better.
