Greetings from Austin area

[Pyrotech]

Yet another new guy, but we all where at one time..

Went down an YouTube rabbit hole, and stumbled onto some hammock videos. And a slightly offbeat snowbird, that reminds me of Robin William's.

Reading some of the threads, I knew I had to join in.... my introduction to hammocks happen at a music festival. UNDER the stage. Seems that after the stage is setup there is whole lot of time to kill and a lot of hammocks. Come out and get hung under the stages. It is so common that we have nicknamed that area hammock town

I work as a power lineman by trade, and a pyro and fox technician as a side thing/hobby hence the under the stage thing.

Hammock camping, just seems like a natural evolution to me on the journey for me. As I have gone from tent to tarp and now making the move to hammock and tarp.

Welcome to the forums! I suppose forest rangers get a little nervous if you use your screen as a trail name. Sounds like fun way to spend some time and get close to the entertainment, though.
