No one was actually in the hammock at the present time of the photo. Usually when I hop into the hammock it corrects itself, if not I correct it myself. I've used it in a few cold nights thus far 0C...
I took a pic of my setup from a hike I did a few days ago.

I can get down to 5 Degrees Celcius in mine. But I'm a cool sleeper and get hot easily.
I use a Mac Universal 3/4 IX UQ for my Clark Tropical II and I went out and bought two little carabiners for $2 a pop. I then just clip the cord to the tabs on the hammock. It just helps as I toss...
Hey mate, where bouts are ya? I'm up in Cooroy, Sunshine Coast. What kind of Jungle Hammock did you order?
i once got home from work and was more excited about the delivery than seeing Chelle. Yeh, big mistake...
I remember the first couple of nights in my Clark Tropical 2. I kept sliding down into banana position. Then I started tying the feet higher than the head and it's just great. I sleep on my side when...
I'm colder with a pillow. Weird I know. Thermal top does the trick for me.
The universal Molly Mac UQ is good with my Tropical Clark Hammock.
I also have used my Clarke Tropical on the ground. The trees (if you could call them that) couldn't hold my weight, so I used them as tent poles and went with a awkward looking A-Frame tent. It...
Australia!!!
The weather shield with the Clark just makes it that little bit warmer. I always leave my head uncovered though. I like to look around and breathe fresh air. I still had to get an underquilt. I got a...
Yeh I think it's totally awesome. Tell you something though. I wouldn't be smoking a cigarette or packing a knife on that trip :D
You must have a lot of faith in your bug net :D

I stumbled across this and thought it was pretty awesome. These guys must have 100% trust in their hammocks.

They are awesome. Sooooooo good. Better than sleeping on a bed. But they are heavy, being 1kg. With being so heavy it will probably cause more back problems than prevent. Great quality though. If I...
I recently camped in 10C (50F in funny talk) which is our winter and there was no wind. I had a 3 season sleeping bag, inner liner, and thermals on. I froze and it's because I didn't have any loft...
I was concerned that the pockets underneath would affect the UQ. But looks fine in the photos thanks for the post.
I live in the subtropics and I suggest you get a 3/4 summer underquilt. It will help with the chill caused by the wind that can still really bight in hot humid conditions. Then get the lightest...
Yeh mate, if you're goin out into the desert I know it gets pretty cold. I'd suggest getting a thermarest and sleeping bag if you're going to spend a lot of nights on the sand. I rekon it's the best...
Super glue for cuts??? Pfffft...gaff tape it. And if required, more gaff tape :D Chicks dig scars :P
I was without trees last night and I froze laying on the sand. So pads definitely have the win there. But for every other reason I would go the UQ.
I got stuck at a spit (where the water from a passage meets the ocean) and had to stay the night to wait for a passing fisherman to take me over. There was nothing there but sand and a few shrubs. So...

I do get this problem. I live in the subtropics and find that I want a UQ. I don't know what it is but the wind cuts through the sleeping bag (or in your case a blanket) and makes things very...
Where bouts you from in Australia?
I got the XL Tarp with my Clark Jungle Hammock - Tropical. It's great. I use two walking sicks and set up a patio where I do my cooking.
Sounds like you want to set up something like this guy

I'm from Brisbane, and I bought my Clark Jungle Hammock straight from the website and it got to me in like 7 days. It was great. You would probably want the North America though for the colder...

I'm a fan of the hammock camping because it's cheap, easier to hide from rangers, less chance of damaging the flora, and I can cook under shelter.
I hang my backpack in a tree or lie it under my...
Illinbah is a trek I’ve done plenty of times before. It’s 19km round circuit. The track drops down into the valley, follows the Coomera River, stops at the old logging town (ghost town) of Illinbah...
Our plan is to walk from the bottom to the top of Moreton Island, along the surf side, and then move along the northern beach, and catch the barge back. The walk was inspired by the three sailors in...
There's some really awesome videos, forums, blogs on Australia. I thought I'd create a thread on South East Queensland. I've been hiking and exploring the area for years now and I'm constantly...
I've bumped into a few tiger and king brown snakes...and plenty of red belly black snakes. I've never been bitten. I have had team members bit though. That's where the good ol' Personal Locating...
Awesome Pics.
I sometime camp on the border of QLD NSW. I find the drop in temperature at about 3am really gets to me in the hammock. What was comfortable at 11pm becomes unberable.
Black Cat Trail in PNG is another Aussie classic to do. Read the book The Barbarians. Pretty cool stuff.
Yeh I tend to agree. I don't really understand how these people get lost. It's like they are intentionally trying to injure themselves or something.
Unfortunately, when they got rid of the Brumbys which the dingos were living off, the dingos slowly started to starve and got more aggressive.
