    Hey! From Louisiana.

    Hey there from Louisiana!

    I grew up backpacking in Arkansas once or twice a year from the age of 5 until I was about 17. College, career, and starting a family got in the way of this hobby and I didn't go backpacking or camping at all for a little over 20 years.

    Two years ago I got the bug again and started buying all new gear from scratch.

    The times I've been camping/backpacking, I've always used a tent. I actually didn't even realize people hammock camped, especially while backpacking, until a couple of years ago. The idea of it interested me, so I started investing in a hammock setup to have options and so I can start practicing.

    So, here I am. haha. Looking forward to asking ALL the questions!

    Welcome! I'm a native Bayou girl, but have moved to Alabama. I've heard the group hangs in LA are a blast with great food.
    You'll get a much better night's sleep in a hammock and will hope never to have to go back to ground. Check out Shug Emery's videos. They cover all the basics and are very amusing.

    Most of all, have fun with the journey!

    I loved camping when I lived in the south, I wish I knew about hammocks back then. I'm currently on the Left Coast where there is a good hammock scene. Good luck and happy hanging!
