    Wink New member and hammocker from CLT (Charlotte, NC)

    Hello all new member from charlotte, me and the misses are new hammockers so were looking forward to reading new and old posts about better ways on living the above the ground life. We pretty much car campers looking to do our 1st backpacking trip this spring. Our 1st camping experience we used our MSR elixir 3 that was ok at 1st but a early morning downpour kind of let us know....no we no likey crawling in and out on the ground esp in mud. We now have a huge Kampa tent with queen size cot with air mattress we use to car camp. Over this winter we slowly added bits and pieces of hammock gear and now were looking for a good 0 degree down underquilt. im a nice sized feller (6ft3 350 and shes average size) so any suggestions would be great. anyways have a great day and god bless!!

    Welcome from just up the road (Concord). You'll never regret getting up off the ground.. Put the "Yates" hang on your calendar and come visit. Tenters are welcome. (It is car camping)

    Welcome to the forum - also from Charlotte.
    Check out one of the area hangs sometime - just a bunch of strangers with hammock camping in common but it works.

    Any vendor like Warbonnet, JacksRBetter, Hammock Gear, Loco Libre et al will have quality UQs.....https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...s-and-Services
    Also there are hammocks with built in UQs. I've been using a SuperiorGear hammock https://superiorgear.com this Winter and having the built in UQ really saves having to dial a UQ in which can be tricky for some when they are new to hammocks and UQs.
