Howdy y'all,

Long time lurker here, trying to follow up on a sort of New Years Resolution.

I go by Silver or Fluff on the interwebs. I've decided recently that I want to go from being the type of person who reads about camping stuff on the internet to a person who actually camps, so looking for any tips, tricks, and advice to make that a reality.

I got into hammock camping in my teens, after getting rained out on a sleepaway camp overnight and vowing to never end up in that situation again. Since I aged out of the sleepaway camp thing though, I haven't spent a single night under the stars...

Now that I have a steady adult income and also a pleasantly flexible work schedule, I'm looking into gearing up and heading out there. My current dilemma is that finding places to camp around nyc sucks. Any advice on the where's and hows would be suuper appreciated.

Thanks Ya'll!
