    Newbie

    Hello Everyone,
    From my user name, you might guess right and so it is: I'm John. New to this website, sorta new to hammock camping and the love of being outdoors. I have a Hennessy Expedition hammock with the usual stuff that comes with it. I have camped 4-5 times since my purchase 3 years ago. For this older (64) man, I have many years sleeping in a tent and recently bought a travel trailer for travelling, with my spouse, around the USA. So hanging events have been few since then. Look forward to learning much more and hanging more often.

    Hi John! I'm Rick. Welcome aboard!

    I wonder how it is we have come to this place in our society where art and nature are spoke in terms of what is optional, the pastime and concern of the elite?
