Finally got out to do the first night out with my 10yo daughter...
We have tried to get out many times now but always been stopped for different reasons, bad weather, illness and such..
But finally we got out, not a long trip not even a hike, we took our bikes and rode them 5km away from our home. We found a perfect spot making it possible to hang the hammocks side by side under one tarp.
She slept in her DD Travel Hammock and I slept in my DD Camping Hammock. I had some problems fixing the underquilt to the hammock since it doesn't come with instructions like "do like this dumbass" I would really need one... But when I got one set it was much easier to do it on the second hammock.
So the night then? It was really nice sleeping in the hammock, this was actually my first time to. The quilts was doing a good job keeping us warm at night. At times the sleeping bag felt unnecessary and I guess I could have used it as a blanket instead of crawling in to it. It's a good thing I'm a light sleeper when not having any earplugs, three times during the night I had to get out of my hammock and grab Emilia's hammock and shake it since she rolls in it like she does in bed and was a couple of times about to sleep face down in the mosi-net.
My experience was that I didnt get super comfy in my hammock, I think the problem was that I didnt stretch it like the DD are supposed to be.
When we packed our things this morning I packed the hammock with the quilt still attached, hopefully this will make the setup a bit easier...
Photos will come soon, haven't moved them from the camera yet.
All in all it was a great experience and I will do this soon again...
