My name is Lee and I am a new hanger here. Been a tent camper for a while, but looking to make the transition to hammock hanging and came here for inspiration and knowledge.

Hello from Newnan. I started a few years ago with a Fox Outfitters hammock as well. Made a few changes since then. Enjoy the forums.

In 100 years it won't make any difference...
Lee, watch Shug’s ten to fifteen part series on YouTube—How to hang a hammock, insulation, how to pitch a tarp, suspensions etc.
Maybe go to a group hang or two. You will see all kinds of hammocks rigged ever which way.
Two hammock hangs, because first hang can be a blur, with learning more second hang.
Also there are some hammock campers over your way, y’all can private message each other to set impromptu weekend hangs-with two to four campers. If you post an impromptu weekend hang here on Hammock Forums, with a start time, location, and finish time——!!!Someone will go with you!!!
If you build it, they will come
If I got paid to tell lies
It just wouldn’t be as much fun
Welcome to the party, aplusdesigners! Here's a link to the Playlist that my esteemed friend phantom mentioned: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB8752777861C2AA8

Take heed of the hammock learning curve~~~~
Stay patient and just take it a step at a time. First just learn to get a proper hang. The rest will come.
Enjoy the hammock quest.

Thanks everybody. Shug, I have watched your series and have most of my equipment, my only missing piece is a UQ and TQ. I been looking at the JRB pieces and am about to order those. Been practicing using my whoopie slings and straps, plus ridgeline that I bought from Jeff Myers. I also have his tarp tie outs too.
I also have a kindle version of the Ultimate Hang 2 by Derek Hansen that I have been reading and re-reading over and over to make sure I have a lot of the concepts in my head.
Where at in GA?
