Always good advise Webhanger.

Thanks for your input. I went through some of your video's and found lots of good information. I must say you had me in stitches. Great job.

What I'm looking for is something I can take up into the high country. We have a 4 seasons wilderness area close by for hiking snowshoeing, back country skiing, etc . Camping is not allowed as...

K0m4, yes, bulk is certainly an issue. I suppose its all relative. Traditional or suspended, it still requires approximately the same volume of equipment to keep you comfortable in sub zero temp's....

BillyBob you make a good point. By compressing the bottom of you bag you definately loose much of the bags properties. Air space is insulation so by not packing it down you certainly gain some of the...

I too, like Mars am a ground dweller. Today I have posted for my first time.
The idea behind hammocks or hanging from trees intrigued me, and am looking at it as an alternative for light weight gear...

I'm sure this subject has been posted many time in the past here but I don't want to sort through all the threads just yet. Just became a member a few days ago.
I have probably 200+ yds of ripstop...

Just thinking out loud as well, would it be possible that the condensation or dampness is coming from the ground and not so much from the air as suggested? By laying a ground sheet under the hammock...
