    Hello From NW Georgia

    Greetings! As I type these words, I am reclining comfortably in my very first ever hammock. I am 60 years old; a mountain biker and whitewater kayaker... soon to be ultra light backpacker. Thanks to all the great things I’ve read on this forum and seen on YouTube, I went all in. My rig is a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC with a super fly tarp and a wooki underquilt. About to take a nap: wish me luck!

    Welcome to the forums from Southeast TN

    That's some really good gear to get started with in hammocking! Be careful, hammocking is a slippery slope!

    Welcome from the Piedmont region between Atlanta and Augusta. Definitely a very sweet setup you describe.
    Cheers.

    Welcome!

    I am a hiker, amatuer canoist, wilderness fisherman, and professional nap taker.
    I wish you all the best in your new endeavers!
    I like to go solo - off trail - immerse myself in the area - explore - eat really well - and make it back home.
