Lady Hammockers thread

Rinko, I have two puppers, 16 & 17 years old. I cannot leave them but after they have to leave me (which I hope never happens), I would love to meet up and hang!!! I have a lot with trees up on the mountain, if you are up for coming up and hanging some afternoon this summer, send a message.

Yes, and yes.

I took 5 female friends on the Greenbrier River Trail in West Virginia. All of us were tree dwellers and four of 'em were newbies. I believe the Land of Ewoks has 4 new members.

Did you all bike in?

2 bikers, 4 hikers. We would pick a group campsite in the morning. Everyone would meet there in the evening. The bikers had to do some back tracking to camp with us, but they said it was fun to see the trail coming and going. We all enjoyed it so much we are planning a Fall trip to do it again.

That's wonderful to see a group of women enjoying hammocking!

There is a group hang, WaHHA!, at Watoga state park in October. The thread is on the southeast trip planning. Stop in! Last year was the first year for this now yearly hang. It was cold, but we had a nice fire, some great food, terrific people, a small raffle and wonderful state park staff.

G'day, I'm male, but as scout leader need to be discreet changing when youth are around. I also need to set a positive hygiene example.
I get my change of clothing ready for a racing pit stop. Then I drop one side of my tarp and stand behind that to quickly change. I'm usually set up a little away from the troop tents so I've never had an issue. But then the scout definitely have no desire to see me nude.

I have been backpacking and hammocking since August 2015. I have completed the first 240 miles of the AT in my hammock. I am at a point where it's a bit harder to do sections since the drive to the end is longer. I live in the Atlanta area and was hoping to find women in this area (TN/NC/GA) with backpacking/hammocking experience so I can pick their brain. I'll keep checking back. Thanks everyone for all the great info here.
