Hi all!

I'm in the DC/NoVA area and have mostly been doing casual hikes in the 5-10mile range. Looking to start expanding to a bit longer, particularly during travel, and also to try out some 1-2 night camping trips.

I mostly came here to get some ultralight tips on top quilts (probably going to buy a bandit!) and meet other people that may want to camp.

I may give hammocks a shot at some point if I find some inexpensive ones, but am still a little hesitant to pull the trigger since it involves more setup and still requires a shelter above it in wet conditions.

If anyone know good areas to camp around my area, or within a couple of hours (Shenandoah, etc) I'd be up for a meetup!
