Newbie from the west, To sleep on the ground/or to hang (from experience)
Not new to hanging, just the forum. Thanks for putting it out there for everyone. I've found a few things in a short time that I had not thought of in lots of years of Hanging. While traveling I've hung in every climb and place that I could take my hammock. Here are some of the reasons I hang.
Ground dwelling:
[/LIST]brings you closer to nature
· I love bringing dirt home in all of my sleeping gear
· I can always find a rock or something cold to sit on
· Mother nature will always provide a lump for a pillow
· Waking to a sticky bush pillow makes for great bed head that lasts all day::rolleyes:
· Pad hunting in the middle of the night is one of my favorite pastimes (sometimes I do it all night):mellow:
· When sleeping on a hillside you can always hug a tree:boggle
· When your back hurts in the morning you don’t have to worry about falling down getting out of bed:rolleyes:
· Knowing that I kept a family of scorpions warm all night makes me feel good;)
· Snuggling with snakes is a great adrenaline rush:scared:
“Hanging” out:
· I don’t have to pack a chair
· “A little” distance between me and nature is a good thing
· If my back hurts in the morning I can just go back to sleep:D
· I always have a soft place to lay my head
· Hangin’ out is fun to do:shades:
· I still like being rocked to sleep
· Hugging a tree doesn’t mean I have to wrap myself around it to stay on the side of the hill
· The view is always better with some elevation:)
· No critters have tried to “snuggle” with me (yet)
· I like making my friends jealous:boggle:
What causes your hangin' hankerin'?
