    Hello from NOVA

    Good morning,

    I'm from Virginia (NOrthernVirginiA), and just really beginning my Hammock journey. I have a cheap OuterEQ double hammock that I got on Amazon (I regret the double as I think the single would be much more comfortable), and a partially wooded backyard where I currently hang on cooler days (mosquito's can be bad back there in the heat) when i can. My current aspiration is to some day hike the AT with a hammock. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning from the fountain of information here on the forums as I expand and tune my hammock gear and techniques.

    Welcome from Herndon. You’re going to love this place. Just so you know, there is a group hang right in your back yard (well sort of) The NOVA Hang in November 9-11 is at Prince William Forest.

    It is a great way to talk to fellow hangers and see various rigs. I believe some have even done the AT.

    Welcome to the forums. You will be glad you joined because everyone on here is helpful, and chock full of good info/advice on all things hammock camping and related topics. check out all the vendors and read the reviews to decide on gear. You can also check out other people's rigs at the local NOVA hang hosted by the illustrious Yojimbo this coming Vet's day weekend, and get better idea of what works best for you and to test out other hammocks/insulation, etc.

    Thanks for the welcomes! I'll definitely check out the hang at PWFP and hopefully I'd be able to make it.

    Welcome from down the road a ways in the Richmond area. A hang is a great place to get to. Meet people and see more setups than you thought were possible.
