Hi Beanie,

Great idea. I tried using a coat hanger but when cut to the right shape it couldn't hold the weight of my boots, so I'd need something thicker. Should be able to find something lying...

The 'ham dangle' is one of my favourite ways to go in a hammock! I suppose I'll have to be careful not to pee directly in to my shoes from now on...

Never eat asparagus before attempting the ham...

I'm really liking the idea of having some camp sandals to slip on easily! I'd probably just leave them on the floor underneath the hammock and leap straight into them! Although, I already have down...

Those plastic shoe hangers are exactly what prompted me to make mine and see if it would work! I tried buying some, but they're super nasty to look at, and break easily if they're stuffed in your bag...

Beanie: I used the sticks in the ground method for ages, and it worked brilliantly! Definitely one of the best ways to store your shoes I've come across. I do find though, that having them hang off...

I can see where you're coming from completely. If my shoes were wet through I'd probably think about hanging them differently, but I very rarely get mine that wet inside despite endless marshes and...

Ah, gotcha. My mistake.

I had a friend that used a big agnes in conjunction with a home made balloon bed once. Obviously, he didn't have much fun...

I got my Exped mat for £40 ($63) on offer a while back, and was originally being used for bivy/tent camping; so I've found it's definitely saved me a few smackeroos in the bottom insulation...

I've seen that method of hanging shoes from the ridgeline before, and I have to admit I'm quite envious, as at the time I was only able to get my hands on the side zip model. Seems like a much better...

Ha ha! That was my old polypropylene rope from my Dad's old boat. Ridiculously oversized, and couldn't hold any kind of knot.

I've been in love with my whoopies ever since I got them, and will...

You definitely have it tough Vulture...

I only have to contend with slightly cold and wet or slightly colder and wetter...

I got bored of slipping around on an Alpkit mat and eventually getting a numb bum... I also couldn't afford to buy a decent underquilt, neither do I have the expertise to make one.

What has worked...

Although I've only tested it twice, I can honestly say it's brilliant. The plastic stays very bendy as well, so stuffing it in your pack in anger is never a problem.

The beer holders I made are...

Well I can definitely say I hated that hammock set up... A friend bought a DD hammock, and at that point I knew I had to up my game.

It was such a hard decision, but eventually decided to go for...

I also linked to a nifty shoe gadget I made here:

Ha ha!

Well, don't say I didn't warn you, but here's Fanny in all her glory... polypropylene rope an' all!

Why thank you!

P.S.
What do you think of the Monarch Alite chairs? I've always been tempted, but I'd have to have them imported...

Hey guys,

I got really sick of hanging my shoes from my hammock ridgeline, which I frustratingly couldn't reach from inside the hammock, as well as leaving it on the floor only to find you've just...

I've been using this forum for useful information for years now, and it's only recently I decided to join.

Despite a lack of great places to hang nearby, I've definitely caught the bug. I started...
