Sooo - I stumbled onto this hammock camping idea in the last 2 days and the very notion of it after a bit of reading and YouTube videos has me intrigued.
In September I did a couple 9-11 mile day hikes in a row with friends in smokey mountains ....never done much hiking overall and only a bit of camping growing up - always hated sleeping in the ground although always had fun
Anyway - was looking for a couple hammocks for general use around my house or when using my RV and stumbled upon Hennessy review
At the same time I have been invited a couple times on overnight camp trips with my son (now just turned age 5) and have little to no camping gear.
I've also been itching to do more camping to prep for future longer backpacking trips with friends later on - need more experience first.
I'll probably end up trying a small tent and a hammock
I have 120 bucks worth of Amazon points burning a hole in my pocket and a canoe overnight camp trip in November coming up.
Got my eye on the blackbird now but not on Amazon - so Hennessy explorer Asym zip is enticing me - although I may sell a couple things and go for the blackbird
Also found this shug character on YouTube and spent 2 hours watching his noob vids last night - hilarious and informative
I am aged 32 - am mostly side or stomach sleeper but believe I could do ok in one of these hammocks - time will tell
Any advice for me appreciated and would love to meet fellow campers in the future
