    Greetings from the Natural State

    What's up guys. I joined a few days ago so I could tap into the ever growing hanging community and the wealth of knowledge that comes along with it. I'm 21 years old and live in central Arkansas. I was born and raised here. I grew up backpacking and canoeing in the beautiful Ozark and Ouachita mountains. I bought an ENO Double nest 3 years ago and have used it regularly since. Recently I started upgrading some of my backpacking gear to reduce my weight and improve my sleeping experience in cold weather. I started researching the Internet for ways to do that and that's how I stumbled on to this forum. I would consider myself an Amateur hanger but hope to improve on that with my recently ordered whoopie slings, underquilt and tarp. Once I get these items in I will become a full time hammock camper. Thanks for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.

    maybe for an overnighter or 2.
    not recommended (by me) to do all of NH at one time.
    NH is better is chunks
