I've been lurking on the forum for quite a while, commented here and there, but figure I should introduce myself here.
I'm getting more serious, my first underquilt is being made (HG Incubator 20°) and just received my first bugnet. Gone on a couple overnighters with a DIY underquilt that went okay, but I was definitely cold. Also, that was in a cheap Walmart hammock. Got a wide netless from Dutch a while back, can't wait to put the new gear to the test. My goal is to try and do at least a once monthly hang. Also trying to get my dad into it, just got him a basic hang setup for his birthday. We've done lots of camping and are experienced ground dwellers, but the hammocks really appeal to me.
I've also gotten into splicing Amsteel and creating my own suspensions, ridgelines, and other contraptions. I'm really having fun experimenting with various setups.
