    new guy from pa

    recently retired and interested in motorcycle camping and future backpacking.
    My son has a camping hammock and has clued me in to the advantages. no hammock yet but am leaning toward the DIY side.

    welcome to the fun from the skook
    we get together at the 501(shelter on the AT) from time to time ... it's a great was to see different gear and learn new tricks
    It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold

    Welcome to the forum, from Ohio. Once you start DIY, it can't stop, then every flat surface of your home becomes work areas. My house hasn't looked the same in 3 years!!

    Welcome from Mt Penn. This is a great place for info! Everyone is very helpful so don't be afraid to ask about anything you aren't sure of. As for the 501 shelter, it's just off of I-78 near Bethel. Very easy to get to.

    Welcome from Philly.
    When I was a kid the only time we were in the house was to eat and sleep.

    Welcome from Birdsboro PA. Lots of DIY help here. +1 on a group hang at 501 or anywhere...better yet make it down to MAHAA in the spring in Pine Grove Furnace State Park.
