Hello from Vermont

Just purchased my first hammock last week, excited to get out there in the woods with it. Went with the Eldorado from Warbonnet with a Mountainfly, still waiting on my 20° UQ and 40° TQ (wanted a certain color, so little lead time) from Hammock Gear to come in. I picked up the hammock before work and hung between two tree's out front of the office for a half hour before going in, so comfortable.

Here's a picture of my second hanging, testing out my idea for a continuations ridge line for my tarp.

Welcome from Alabama. The Eldorado is a great hammock.

Welcome to HF from the Midwest! Looks like you are getting off on a good foot already.

I went to college in Vermont (Norwich University). I wish that I had known about hammock camping then!

Some of my relatives live up near Norwich University, I believe that's Northfield, VT, They lived in Brookfield right below there.

Welcome! Lived pretty close to Vermont in NH for a few years, beautiful part of the country. Would love to do some backpacking on the Long Trail up there.
