    Minnesota hammock virgin about to do a week in BWCA.

    Well, I'm gonna do it. Going for a week in BWCA with two other guys, one possum, one groundhog. This will be my first trip using a hammock for camping. Thank you to everyone who posted so much useful info (I've been lurking for some time!). I got my package from Dutchware and have been working on my setup, including a modded woobie for an underquilt. I'll post when I get back, or you'll see something in the news about a spectacular, but ultimately unsuccessful, rescue effort.

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

    My first hang was also in the BWCA many moons ago. Enjoy a great time! Nothing like hanging next to lake hearing the loons lull you to sleep. Cheers
