Hello everybody,
I've been camping since I was little with my family (Back in the 60's). I started backpacking when I joined the C.A.P. back in Jr. High school (they call it middle school now). My first Hammock camping wasn't until the 90's when I was at a surplus store looking for cheap camping gear. I found a "jungle hammock", the old canvas bridge style with mossi net and rain fly built in. After using it I discovered it was too small to be really comfortable, and too heavy for backpacking, but I knew this was the way to camp! I ended up researching hammocks online for a biking trip down the C&O canal towpath. I found the Lawson Blue Ridge hammock. It was great! I have not done the hiking or camping I really would like over the years for one reason or the other. Over the years and probably 10 or 12 Trips using the Lawson I found it decent but something was lacking. I purchased a cheep gathered end hammock this year after deciding to start section hiking the AT again. I had my first hang in it last weekend. Found I loved using a 10x10 tarp and gathered end hammock. I have a Tribes mossi net as well. I've been all over the interwebz in the last 4 months researching hanging. Always looking for more to learn, fine tune gear, and generally just have fun with things. Thanks for the join, the knowledge, and the camaraderie.
