    Hello from NC

    Hello,

    New Hanger from GasVegas NC, had a ENO, traded it for a new hiking pack, then got a Warbonnet Blackbird.

    Have a 40 degree with 2oz overfill Hammock Gear Phoenix and Burrow in order (9ish weeks away).

    For the Rain Fly, Grand Trunk Abrigo and switching it to a continuous ridgeline soon.

    I’ve hammock camped 3 times now (twice in the ENO, once in Warbonnet). And then I was pointed to Shug, so now I figured out a lot about what I did wrong...

    Looking forward to learning more, and getting in the woods more.

    About myself: 38, married with a 4yo daughter whose the love of my life. Worked for the same company for 18 years (working in Charlotte again, which I hate). I’m from West Virginia originally, lived in the Carolinas now for 19 years.

    Thanks for the add!

    — Will

    Welcome from the Triangle. Check out the group hangs. We have several coming up in NC over the next couple of months. Group hangs are a great place to not only meet people and have a good time. They are an excellent place to see what other more experienced hangers are doing with gear. I know I've received some valuable insight on the one hang I've been to so far.

    Will do, I plan on doing an easy over night trip after I get my Hammock Gear stuff in, might head up to Grandfather area for that.

    Let’s go Canes ( Lose4Hughes at least this season lol)

    Shug is a great resource to get started and continue on your hammocking journey. Lots of great places to get out and hang in North Carolina.

    Welcome
