    intro from the wet side of washington

    hello all

    I am have been batting around the idea of hammock camping for a bit now I got to try out a hennesy at the seattle REI a few years ago. sounds like it would be great here in the olympic national forest were it is rocky, wet and hard to find a flat spot. I main concern is the cold when using a hammock during hunting season and winter camping. anyway I here to pick your minds and learn about hammock camping.

    Welcome from the dry side of Washington. I'm not geared up for winter hanging but there's a bunch here at the forum that are. Everything you need to know is at this forum.

    Welcome from a mildly wet and cold northwestern WA hanger. Great info here. Check out the threads that KerMegan mentioned and keep your eyes open for any WA hangs. We had one during the winter, but are thinking of making seasonal gatherings. Fall is right around the corner.

    Welcome from Alabama. You're gonna like hammock camping. Rocky or wet ground is no longer a problem. As long as you have trees (or rocks)to hang from, you can get out of that cold hollow or out of the wind.
