What you must do is build a pool so you can put your hammock next to it ;-)


I just saw this, and thought it was funny!

I haven't slept in one for years. I used to quite often. My feet get cold sometimes and frosty nights are cold to wake up to.

Im all for hammock camping! Iv been working on building one, I never found one I really liked, so I been designing them, we are on proto type number 12 or some damned thing, each one gets better, the only real problem is that bottom insulation for cold nights. that cold air under you is horrid and when ya lay on the insulation it mashes down and then the insulation factor is gone. However a pocket under the bag for a closed cell pad, then a down back on the inside of the bag and my sleeping bag over that... next one will have a sew in pocket for the down bag to be slid into so its not so bad to sleep on.
I test mine in the back yard :D once I get it how I want it and a bottom hanging pocket in it for muddy shoes and a better rain fly design for a vestibule, then Im heading to the hills!

I finally made it hamping. The hammock was def a god-send, however I have to agree with a few other posts, that sleeping through the night is a bit difficult. I took it to Havasupai, (we actually had a hammock colony) where it was blazing hot, and naps were GREAT in it, and it kept the temp at night quite pleasant, since we weren't in a sauna room (aka tent). But I think my trees were a bit close, so it wasn't as comfy for extended sleeping as I would have liked. Still, it was worth it, and I will def use it more in the future (especially for naps, and to get my feet up)

Was it made of hemp? :roflol:
