    Hey From Canada Eh?

    Total newb here but I love canoe tripping and interior camping. In recent years the whole sleeping on the ground thing has really lost it's lustre. You can call it old age I prefer to call it wisdom.

    Anyway I was perusing the online world and somehow came across this whole idea of hammock camping. Actually I think it was probably Shug and his extremely entertaining (and informative) YouTube videos that first sucked me in. So I thought 'what the hay. Let's check out this place they call the hammock forums'.

    So here I am in all my newb glory looking forward to learning something and maybe trying out a new and exciting way of experiencing the woods.

    I'm surprised Shug doesn't get a 'finders fee' for introducing so many people,
    from all walks of life to this forum & hammocks in general.
    A living legend.

    After over 40 years of canoe camping in every known form of sleeping system and shelter including an upturned canoe, I cannot begin to tell you how much i look forward to the next 40 years, thanks to a hammock.. And of course Shug's,, and this site's wealth of knowledge. Life just got a whole lot better for you.. Embrace the comfort. relish the simplicity. and welcome the freedom.
