    Heyo from Upstate NY

    Hi everyone, just dropping a line, saying hi, introducing myself, seeing what's up Name's Matt and I was referred to this site by my friend, we like to camp together, have been since we were kids. Am looking to upgrade all my gear on the semi-cheap, so he said some great folks here had some stuff maybe, if I keep an eye out.

    Anyways, like him, from Finger Lakes region of NY, but have moved up to Rochester. We try to get away when we can, do some camping, do some target shooting, hang out, etc. I tend to like to fall back on camping as a way to distance myself from stuff in real life, get away from people, reconnect with our roots and whatever else.

    We started out camping carrying our stuff through fields and dragging coolers with us as we go, but have gotten to the point where now we just backpack with whatever we can carry and only bring water filters and mountain house meals, it's a lot of fun and less tiring, lol. We have plans to do other things too, maybe go somewhere else and camp; he camps up in the Adirondacks sometimes, I haven't gone yet because of my gear. Hoping to change that!

    Anyways, some people call me long winded, so I'll leave it here for now

    Welcome! I'm originally from upstate NY as well, Mohawk valley. Currently in MD. I try to make it back home to visit family often. Just hiked bald mountain up near Old Forge with the kids, they loved it. It's an easy one but still fun, even though I carried the baby all the way up lol.

    Lots of good info on here. The for sale section does have good deals, you just need to beat the other people to the good deals. I have seen items get listed and bought in minutes!

    Cool, thanks for the heads up. Noticed my friend made a few posts on here regarding some diy stuff, I'll check that out too. He suggested I make my own hammock, but I might start with something small first, haha. All this talk has me eager to look around and also get back outside, but I think I'll wait for the snow to melt first, lol.
