Hey all,

I live in a small town in the Sierra Nevadas, basically halfway between Tahoe and Yosemite. I just made my first hammock from a kit from Ripstop by the Roll and I'm excited to give it a try come spring. I joined to learn some more as I just got some cheap daisy chain straps and some climbing rated carabiners to hang with. I've been backpacking since 2002 when I went on an Outward Bound trip with my dad in the Bitterroots (Montana). I've heard a lot about this forum over the years and finally thought I'd join and check things out. I look forward to learning from you guys and hopefully being able to contribute some of my knowledge.

Nice to meet you guys!
