    Thumbs up New Hanger from Tulsa

    My name is Gary and I live in Owasso which is right outside of Tulsa and I got into hammocks after watching fellow forum member and irl friend PXBaroni get into it and rave about how much more superior it is to sleeping on the ground.

    I am still learning the ropes and still watching some Shug videos but I think I am very close to getting out on my first hang. I have a Grand Trunk Skeeter Beater with upgraded whoopie slings and marlin spikes thanks to PXBaroni. This is a good thing for me because I am not very good with knots, lol.

    We have hiked alot in Arkansas and have always historically slept on the ground yet I am getting close to being 48 years old and my bones and assorted ailments don't lend themselves to ground sleeping very much anymore. I already like the feel of the hammock and I haven't been out on an overnighter in it yet. I got a 3/4 Foyle UQ in the works and so I am looking forward to hitting the trail soon.

    Welcome from Indiana. I too am fairly new to hammocking after being a ground dweller for many years. All I can say is...you will love it! Cheers
