Old backpacker from Indiana

Greetings and thank you for such a great forum. I started backing as a teenager in the early 1970s. I have always slept on the ground and I often camp in temperatures where mosquitos are not such a problem. My preferred shelter is a DD Hammocks 3m x3m tarp in the plow point or Adirondack configuration. That is about to change. After watching countless YouTube videos on hammocks, I have decided to make a bridge hammock to get started. I'm off to study the DIY forum here and more.

Thank you
Gary aka Backpacker57

Welcome Gary, I've only just joined myself there's an overwhelming amount of info here enjoy.

I admire your courage and it sounds like you have the experience to make it a great first go. Sleeping suspended is the best in my book!
