    I've very jealous. I'll be going to the BWCA for the first time later this summer. What's your entry point?

    We are starting at Seagull Lake traveling northwest to knife lake. If I can get my kit together I will be hanging for the first time up there. Where are you going?

    Are you saying that the absolute first time you will be hanging will be up in BWCA?

    I will do some test runs in the back woods beforehand, but yes. The first first 40+ trips were in a tent so the hammock will be the only thing that is not second nature by now.

    Ok, you are doing test runs beforehand. I was a bit worried for a hot second there.

    Yes, test runs are important. Every time I hammock camp I find something I want to do differently.

    Welcome to HF! Lots of great advice already. I'll say that Shug + The Ultimate Hang was a great resource when I was beginning to dive deeper into hanging. Good luck and have fund!

    Shug is a gold mine for sure.
