Hey everyone!
As the title says, I'm hammocking in Portland and the surrounding areas. Very new to it and have the barest of bones gear-wise...this weekend was my first hang to even see if it was something I would want to stick with doing before investing in gear. I bought a second hand Kammock hammock, patched up a couple holes, bought some daisy chained tree straps and headed to a car camping site to try it all out. My boyfriend is still tent camping so that left me with a bail out option this weekend, though it remains to be seen how long I'll have that as an option as he seems keen to try hanging now. The weather gods were kind to us and I didn't need a bug net or a tarp (neither of which I have) and the temp got down to maybe 40. I used a super heavy mummy sleeping bag, my Thermarest CCF pad, a microfiber mummy liner, and a Nalgene filled with hot water to preheat my bag. I definitely got a little CBS but nothing that I couldn't deal with.
I'm interested in local group hangs, making some of my own gear, and finding good quality options for whatever I cannot or will not try to make. As of right now, I'll likely only be car camping to try out gear and my setup so if something fails, it's not a huge deal.
So um, yeah...hi!
