    Hello from NY (Upstate)

    new member here and wanted to say hello. Just started backpacking about a month ago, went on some day hikes with the family and really enjoyed it. Car/tent camped and RV camped my entire life and now starting to explore more into backpack camping. Had to outfit the entire family (2 adults, 3 kids) with all new gear, bought a hogback tent from tarptent and also purchased a Hammock Bliss Sky Bed with bug net. I've never been in a hammock for more than 30mins, so i'm really excited to give this a try. If the weather would just cooperate up here (we had an inch of snow 2 days ago!!). I've been doing a lot of reading in here, great info, looking forward to more education! Going to try and test out my Hammock Bliss tomorrow in the woods behind my house. I removed the ropes and made my own CL out of 7/64" amsteel and added an adjustable amsteel ridge line. I believe i am going to order the Superior Suspension that is similar to a beetle buckle.

    I'll post pics of the setup hopefully tomorrow. Looking forward to posting more!

    Welcome from a mid westerner, but former NY'er. Grew up down state, but went to school in Western NY. I'm jealous of the snow you guys have been getting!
