    Hi from the mountains of VA

    New member here. Grew up section hiking the AT in VA 1 weekend a month when I was kid and have been an avid outdoors-man ever since. I have been a long time ground sleeper but also have an eno doublenest setup for a couple of years that I've occasionally used when a tent wasn't an option. I recently took up fly fishing and with several nearby remote trout streams I want to fish, I decided I would give the hammock camping a more serious try. Just placed an order for a Dream Hammocks Sparrow and Loco Libre Carolina Reaper underquilt and Ghost Pepper top quilt. Can't wait to learn and share my experiences with ya'll

    Welcome from a nearby VA neighbour,...you'll find lots, and lots, of hammock info here, plenty of people more than willing to be of help as you learn and progress with your 'hanging' experiences.

    Welcome to the forum! You live in a real nice area! I pass through there on the way to Trail Days and on a few motorcycle trips every year. I just got into fly fishing a few years back and I really want to checkout some of the small streams off the side of the Blue Ridge.
