Just wondering how other people have tried to introduce hammock camping to their scout troops, or friends/family.
This past summer at Boy Scout camp, one of the other leaders and myself set up our hammocks and tarps for the week. I was only able to stay the first night, but left my hammock set up for the week. I told the boys to take turns and try it out for the night. If they didn't like it, their tent was only a few feet away, you could bail easily in the middle of the night. Well good/bad, one of the boys took it over for the week. He loved it and by the first meeting a couple weeks ago he already purchased his first hammock and is now looking into other parts of his system.
How about any other ideas from anyone?
