    Hello from Alabama

    I have always been a active outdoors type. But, due to health reasons have had heart problems and Knees replaced. Getting things back together and tried hiking and tent camping an my old 60 year old body groans on hard ground. I bought a Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter to hang in and spent Friday night in it at Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham. Been lurking around for a couple of weeks and getting some great ideas and look forward to bouncing some ideas off you guys. Good Hanging Danny

    Welcome from Philly, I feel your pain once you hit 60 everything starts to hurt.
    When I was a kid the only time we were in the house was to eat and sleep.

    Welcome neighbor. This forum is a great place to learn all you ever wanted to know about hammock camping.
