    Hello from Gainesville, FL!

    I am a newbie hanger in training. I got an eno to toss up on car camping trips and it got me wanting to move toward backpacking. Then I fell down the rabbit hole reading (ALL THE THINGS!) about the tent free possibilities. I've been lurking long enough - it was time to sign in!

    Welcome from Ocala. Keep an eye on trip planning the season is just starting to get into full swing. Florida stays active throughout winter.

    Thanks, I bet it does! I am headed out for my first hanging trip in less than a week and really hoping it will be cool enough to stand being in my hammock! Under insulation..... Pah >.< ..... (Until it drops below 65 and I break out the wool. 25 years in FL has made me a cold weather wimp!)
