I've used my HH once with less than stellar results ( way too hot in the hammock). Within 10 minutes I was roasting. I promptly ejected my sleeping bag and stripped down. Was still too hot and ended getting out staying up til about 3am than falling asleep for a hour ( sweating the entire time)
Anyone else suffer from heat stroke in one of these?
I usually camp with ground dwellers and the sites they pick are usually pretty far away from trees that have enough girth. At best I end up on the outskirts. I was thinking the next time out using extra line to suspend the hammock between trees. This can get me closer to base camp by using the few large trees that are in the area Any problems if I do?
I do like my hammock, but I HATE being too hot.
PS:Also maybe it's my paranoid state but I felt like I was so exposed when just hanging there not being able to see out with my butt in the wind.
