Hello,
Name is Jeremy, I am new to hammocking I fell, like many I am sure, into Shug's video library on youtube and have never lollygagged more time binge watching anything than I have these videos. I have always loved taking a nap in a hammock when on vacations when a hammock was available but never decided to try my own or look into it. Recently retired from regular 9-5 life to some extent but now travel all summer for Wildland Fire. I spent all season this year sleeping in my truck, on the ground under the stars or in a tent. I met a dude that had a hammock on one of the fires early season and decided I would look into it when I got home. Fast forward to thanksgiving when I got home. I decided to look into hammocks and started making purchases. I am going to make my maiden voyage into the woods tomorrow. I have setup a few things here at the house tried a few naps in the hammock and figure no better way to see what I like or don't is to go do it. I am going to make it a couple night trip do some day hikes and work from my truck as a basecamp. I have spent many nights out camping, hiking, mountaineering, ice climbing, hunting and fishing. I think this is just the next chapter in the story. I hope to one day meet some like minded people and do some hangs out and around. Like Shug says in a some of his videos I don't now have any friends interested in hiking, camping, or hammocking. So it looks like some more solo time for this kid. Thanks for the listen and the add to the forums. I will report back from Sector 6 when I return.
