Hi everyone, new here but been doing a wee bitty of lurking
I live in Central Scotland, in Perthshire...I've previously had quite a bit of camping experience & wildcamping/bushcrafting with scouts/cadets/TA and family. I regularly camped until I had to have surgery for a herniated disc that left me with chronic pain problems so had to give it up a few years back...since then I've been miserable after trying to camp a few times but being in too much pain to enjoy it.
However, after feeling that pull to get back out there and doing a bit of poking about, I've potentially found my salvation! I hadn't considered using a hammock & lots of people with back problems have managed to get back to it with one...wayhey - overexcited much!
Looking forward to being in the middle of a forewt again, being self reliant and relearning lost & rusty skills
I've got a Staffy, hate the labels people give them...it's not the dog, it's the owner that's the problem 99% of the time!
Last but not least, thankyou to everyone that posts YouTube vids, reviews and experiences - you've all helped me massively with making my gear choices - real life reviews and gear demos are worth far more than company-written blurbs! Cheers & keep up the good work, am hoping to record my experiences once I get my kit together
Anyhoo, you're probably bored stiff by this point so I'll finish up!
~WWC~
