    Hello from Ontario!

    Hi all,
    I'm a hammock newbie from Eastern Ontario. My interests include foraging, hiking, camping, writing and photography.
    I decided to try 'hanging' because I needed light-weight shelter options that are easier on my back for carrying on thru-hikes and for a better sleep experience while camping. I picked up a Hennessy Hyperlite Asymmetrical Zip Hammock from MEC and then got SnakeSkins, along with the SuperShelter 4-Season Insulation System # 1 Zip and some funnels for rain water collection direct from Hennessy Hammocks.
    I'd like to meet some like-minded, outdoorsy new friends and share experiences.
    Thanks a bunch and happy hanging!
    Tara

    Another 'Welcome" from the EGL (Eastern Great Lakes), an eclectic collection of friendly folks. As Niagara mentioned, a number of our hardier members are up on some Crown Land near Algonquin this weekend. Follow our group planning thread to keep abreast of this year's outings, & check out our Trip Reports thread to read of some past adventures. Cheers!

    Hi Tara. Welcome to the forums. I would also recommend to check out the EGL. Great bunch. We have some hikers, back country hangs, canoe trips and car camping. We also have some photo buffs. So keep an eye on the trip planner and join the fun.
