Presently I camp 1700's style, if it wasn't around in the 1700's I don't use it. I sleep on the ground, on a bear skin with a wool blanket.

I never heard of hammock camping until a week ago. Since then, I've been watching hammock camping videos and doing research on this type of camping. I'm thinking about getting into this type of camping, but I want to do it right and buy my equipment one time. I don't want to be in a rush and buy something only to learn it's not what I should have gotten.

I'm open for any suggestions. I've already learned; being 6'5", I can't just buy a normal size hammock.

The reason for getting into hammock camping; it seems each year the ground gets harder on my back and hips. lol

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.
