    Aloha from Nashville

    Greetings! I am a new member of hammockforums and at TwistingInTheWind’s suggestion, would like to introduce myself and say hello to the community. My name is Brandon, and when not traveling my home base is the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee. I am a former ground-sleeping backpacker, recently converted, embracing my learning curve.. Pandora’s freaking Box has been opened!!

    Welcome welcome welcome.
    You have all the hammock talk you can handle now!
    ...all that's left is to try keeping the BBQ sauce off the keyboard.

    Enjoy and have fun!

    All those years of backpacking yet I’ve zero experience with tarps. Crazy.
    But as you said, we only get to be new at something once, so enjoy the journey!!

    There is a Meetup Group in Nashville for backpacking. https://www.meetup.com/NashvilleBackpacker/

    This one is for day trips and sometimes overnight trips https://www.meetup.com/nashville-hiking/

    I use to be in both before we moved to Mexico

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Appreciate the heads up regarding local groups in Nashville. Nice to see online community during this strange period of physical distancing.

    Love the Yucatan, too! Hope you and your family are safe & well after riding through Gamma, Delta and Zeta!
