    I like his statement about "using the hammock while driving", I would like to see that trick.

    This would work nicely as the top of a "ladder rack" on a pickup also.

    Now that would work pretty good Ken ... extension on the rear and you could hang in the bed area!

    Yeah, room for 3 hammocks that way. One over each side and one in the middle. Imagine that going up Kistler! Gangway!!

    "signs of wear"

    Indeed. Lookit the cracks radiating out from that mount. A larger footprint would have helped.

    Hanging while driving evokes images of those poor souls whose stretchers were strapped to the skids of H13s in Korea. Yikes.

    Yep, made me want to dig out the old M.A.S.H. movie tonight.
    I just can't imagine laying in a hammock hanging from a car going down rough roads. That's pretty serious faith in your gear right there!

    There may have been some alcohol involved in that hang! or at the very least ... some kind of dare!

    Well, we did have a small discussion of the merits of a good Bourbon over Scotch. While I disagree with his opinion on the matter, he does seem to be well versed.
