    Hello from Michigan

    Hello from Michigan. I just joined the forum and have learned a ton from everyone. My son and me have hammock camped just once in our diy hammocks and we are hooked. We hiked the Manistee River trail last Oct. It was in the low 40's and yes we got a little chilly at night. I have since made a couple of under quilts out of Cosco down throws. Hopefully that will help.

    Welcome to the forums Michi Man! That Manistee hike was one of my first backpacking trips many years ago. Glad you're enjoying some hammock and trail time with your son. Watch the trip planning threads for the Midwest and if you can get out to a group hang, go for it!

    What part of the state are you from?
