    New Beginnings

    Hello from Southern Ohio.I'm Mark I was an avid outdoorsman until Feb 2018 when I had a widowmaker heart attack and everything changed. Long story short I'm trying to find my new normal and after checking out some youtube videos by Sean Emery (Shug) I've decided to give hammock camping a try. There's a lot to learn but I guess that's half the fun.

    Welcome to our little corner of the world. I don't know what your prior outdoor experience was but I suspect you're going to love it here.
    I'm an avid outdoorsman who spent most of his life backpacking and using tents - 2016 Hunting trip changed it all.
    Welcome to a world that combines the best sleep you will ever have in the best environment on the planet - The Great outdoors.

    Welcome!! Don't let the learning thing keep you from getting out, since that is where you really learn.

    Welcome to the forum! I can attest to the excitement of your first successful hang, as I just did it this past weekend! Whoohoo! Do your research, buy once, cry once, and enjoy the journey!
