    Newbe in the land of Shug of the Third Person

    Greetings all, new to hanging but have been tenting since I was but a wee little one. Got into hammocks due to I mainly spring/ fall-early winter camp and wanted to extend into those seasons when the ground is too muddy for a tent. I also want to get into backpacking and knew a hammock is easier to pack than my tent. Tried my Dutchware hammock out in the for the first real camp out a couple of days ago and I'll probably never go back to a tent. First night out and had a thunderstorm blow through and had the best sleep in ages. Just something about being gently rocked as the trees sway in the wind above you was nice and the fact I didn't have to worry about waking up in a puddle was even better.

    What a terrific introduction, both to the forums and to hammock camping. Reminds me why I got into this addiction as well. Welcome.

    Welcome to the forums! Not sure exactly where in MN you are located, but we've got some hangs in Wisconsin that are easily driveable from your state. Maybe I'll see you at a hang sometime!

    Welcome. lol That's awesome. I never thought about spinning it Sinatra style. "It's Shug's world, we just live in it."
    Once you're lost in twilight's blue, you don't find your way, the way finds you.

    I'm in the southern Twin Cities Suburbs and I usually do my winter camping around Bruce WI so you might just see me at a WI hang.
