Beginner Hammocking

I've always enjoyed the outdoors.  My parents took my RVing in primary school, and as I became older I would tent on their camp site.  It was more rugged and independent that way.  During secondary school I did not camp too much, but still enjoyed hiking, walking and biking with the occasional inland kayaking.

During my college and early adult years I have tent camped on rustic and regular Michigan State Parks.  It is a goal of mine to camp more, and it has been a goal of mine to go backpack ing.  I already own a backpacking tent but never used it for backpacking, just regular camping but I have decided to give hammocking a try.  And so, the gear acquisition ramps up.
