    Thumbs up New in town, from NJ

    G'day everyone. First off let me say, that this is probably the friendliest, and most informative forum I've ever been on! The vast amounts of information and comradery is priceless. When it comes to hammock camping, and even camping in general Im a bit of a rookie. Neophyte. Greenhorn. I've been lurking for a few weeks now... trying to soak up as much information as possible, when I then realized that the best way for me to learn is to get out there and do it!

    Long story short, my wife and I wanted to get into backpacking and camping. We then read a few articles regarding replacing a tent with a hammock. Intrigued, we went ahead and read on. and on...and on... 3-4 weeks ago, i remember saying to myself, what the heck is a whoopie sling...what does UQ and TQ even mean?! This shug guy on youtube is pretty funny.... Hammocks just arent for backyards?!?!

    We're going to start slow. day hikes, maybe car camping. eventually i'd love to do an overnight in the great out doors in a hammock.

    Thank you to everyone for the excellent information. Love this hobby and community. onward!

    Welcome from Philly.
    When I was a kid the only time we were in the house was to eat and sleep.

    Lots of Jersey here! The best car camping is a hammock hang! You'll learn loads.
    What county are you in?

    Welcome from the Jersey Shore! Don't be a wuss - get out there ASAP. We've got some pretty active NJ members of HF and there's always a hang every couple of months, sometimes car camping, sometimes paddling, sometimes hiking. We always welcome new members and will often loan gear if you're lacking.

    Look forward to seeing you hanging, hiking, canoeing or whatever!
