    Smile Hello from KY!

    Hello Hammock Forums! This is CaptainMorgan here as you can obviously see.

    First, no I am not a captain! Wouldn't mind being one, but sadly I'm not. Anyway, I am a relative noob when it comes to hammock camping, well really with everything. I grew up camping with my family, but always in the car with too much stuff we couldn't even pack it in the trunk. I am almost 18, so I am only now able to be able to gather my own kit and head off on my own. This summer I went camping with some friends from church, and realized that I absolutely love it. So I started by getting a job and now I'm starting to put together my kit.

    Now onto how I discovered Hammocks!! I am really interested in simple and tried-and-true. I wanted to be able to take everything I want to go camping, or hiking since that's a necessity, inside a backpack. So, I started by of course going to YouTube and looking at what other people were doing. I found the NaturalBushcraft page and watched some of their reviews on hammocks, which like many people had never even considered that as an option! Then I found Shug. I guess thats all thats needed to be said about that! Also, ProfessorHammock contributed as well! As another math person, or quant? as he says I think, I really enjoyed his videos.

    So now that I've introduced myself, I would like to say that this forum is pretty awesome. Real, helping people that like to CAMP!

    Welcome Cap'n. Now that you've found Shug and Grizz, take it all in and enjoy the hammock.
