    HELLLLLLOOOOOO from MO!

    Howdy folks! Brand noob here from SE Missouri. I have backpacked some (always tent) and this year started riding MTB. Looking for more compact loads so I can take some overnights in the woods on the bike, I decided to check into hanging. Made a DIY gathered end about 3 weeks ago and have been experimenting with systems to keep me warm in the back yard before I hit the woods. I have retrofitted a Ray-Way quilt to be an under quilt and I have been using a sleeping bag as a top quilt. I have slept comfortable down into the upper 20's and have plans to add a couple pieces that will get me near zero. Like many others, I have binged on Shug videos and it has really given me the knowledge and confidence to try more. Looking forward to my first hammock trip in the woods (hopefully before Christmas) and eyeballing a group hang in January.

    Thanks to all you hangers that post on here and provide folks like me with your expertise!

    Welcome!!!

    And I'm curious, do locals pronounce it "missourUH"? Or is that something someone else just made up?

    Those folks that you might call "hicks" say Missourah. Most say Missouree. I'm usually a Missouree guy.
