    Hello from Pennsylvania!

    I'm a long time lurker, and student of Shug just trying to get my footing on this "hangin" stuff. I enjoy being out doors working on my bushcrafting skills. My equipment at the moment is probably what you guys would all call beginner, but I'm out there trying. I enjoy making my own stuff when I can, and when it is feasible. The recent "sale" on the Kelty tarp though altered my thinking a bit, and I went and bought it to add as a piece of my kit. I would love to attend the local meet/hang to meet some of you. Thank everyone who contributes here for all the great information I have absorbed in my short time here. It really helps! Hope to some day be up to speed as far as skills go, and contribute back in some small way. Thanks again.

    I sew things on youtube.
    I don’t sew on commission, so please don’t ask. Thanks.

    Welcome from Northern Va - I camp in the Warren, Pa and kinzua dam area a lot during the warmer months.
    For an easy start, make your own hammock - use 4 yards X about 60" of material and this no-sew option:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJlEQpcbM1I
    P.S. My WalMart $1 bin mystery fabric (I got the $1.50/yd premium stuff :>) hammock is about 8 years old and has well over a hundred nights usage. No sewing - I even left the sides as they came off the roll - just wash it inside a pillowcase when needed.
    Looks like Shug already showed you the way to do the rest. Suspension, Pads or quilts - just use what you have and test it out close to home.
    I have a Kelty 12 and it is a rock solid tarp as long as you're not a long distance backpacker.
    Enjoying the simple things in life -
    Own less, live more.
