    Talking Greetings from East Tennessee

    Okay, I am a research machine and find myself with information overload from this forum! What a good bunch with a ton of solid information. Okay now make my head spin ... 6'3" 265 lbs looking for my first hanging experience. Broke my back a little over a year ago riding dual sport motorcycles in the Rockies. Looking for a more gentle sleeping fashion, thus the hammock forum! Blackbird xlc, Clark, Hennessy ... Help! Four season hammock with a $500 cap for everything.

    Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!!

    Welcome mtnman66....From up here in ohio!!

    You should find no problem getting a great set up for that money.

    I have a eno dblnst, diy UQ, DIY UCR, chinook tarp...and looking for a top quilt.

    I would say look at KAQ for some nice affordable quilts, superfly seem real popular here for the tarp.

    Just keep reading and asking questions, there are some real good people on here.
