Hi all I appreciate the hospitality!
I'm from South Dakota originally but now reside in Nebraska. I have been camping since before I could walk. I always take a cheap ENO hammock with me camping, but definitely not for sleeping purposes.
I will be receiving my first "non generic" hammock in the mail tomorrow. I went with the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. The goal is to completely alleviate the need for a tent or other sleeping necessities. I am an avid hiker/rucker, and enjoy multi day trips. Given that weight is a big factor when hiking, I opted for a hammock to not only save some space and weight but to aslo refrain from sleeping on the ground!
I have my eyes set on a wooki underquilt as well as a top cover, but that will have to come at a later date. Summer is upon us anyway!
I'm excited to learn from the group and have watched several videos in anticipation of the XLC on the way. Can't wait to sleep in the comfort everyone speaks of when that particular hammock comes up!
Other than hiking and camping, I am an avid fisherman. Its been an idea of mine to take my pack on the boat, follow the river and pull of on a spot and hammock camp for the night. I enjoy bushcraft, pushing myself to learn new skills such as firemaking with limited resources, and becoming more self sustaining in general.
I look forward to getting to know you all, I will surely post pictures of the XLC and myself when I get it out in the field!
