    Good Morning from Alabama

    Hi, Everyone. I am new to hammocking. My daughter introduced me to hammocks about a year ago. I'm a trail runner still recovering from a tibial plateau fracture I incurred just over 2 years ago. I'm running again, but can't yet do the distance I used to enjoy, so I took up hiking to fill the need for distance. Hammock camping is the prefect partner to the hiking. I also hang in the park once or twice a week with several of my grown kids.

    On overnighters I hang a WBBB, and in the park I hang a Hennessy Leaf Lounger with the pullout ties removed. I insulate with a 30 degree Wooki and a 30 degree HG Burrow. For suspension on both I use spliced Mantis hardware and 1" daisy chains.

    I'm loving that Spring is here in AL, and the weather has been beautiful and warm. I only need my quilts now if I'm going to be out after the sun starts to sink.

    I'm learning a lot from all you experienced hangers... thanks for all the good advise!

    Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you're off to a good start with your choice of hammocks, and it's great that you're able to do it with your kids. Enjoy the weather and best wishes for your continued recovery from the injury.
