    Hey from Indiana

    This place is GREAT!!! I finally signed up so that I could ask some questions. Everyone has been very helpful and incredibly nice, and welcoming! Thank you!

    Twelve years ago I went to Brazil and slept in a hammock for a good part of that month. We were warned not to sleep in beds because of bed bugs. I bought a hammock, and all of the inns and private homes I stayed in had hooks everywhere (many didn't even have beds). I was converted.

    A few years later, we started going on long canoe trips and camping overnight. I was young and did not have the small, lightweight gear for that sort of thing, so I took my hammock and some straps. It worked well enough.

    I was randomly looking for a better way to hang a few years back and found this forum. AMAZING!!! I wish I would have known all along! I always just hoped that it would not rain...and sometimes it did.

    Now I have collected some gear and a rainfly, and am in the process of making whoopie slings. I have to admit, the most comfortable hammock is still my first cotton cloth double from Brazil and for short trips, she is still my first choice.

    Welcome to the HF from Idaho! As a fellow noob to the forum I agree they are a very helpful bunch.
