    Hammock in a Trooper

    Got an email from a guy who put a hammock up in his Trooper. His daughter slept in the hammock and he slept on a twin mattress underneath her...sounds like they had a pretty good vacation that way.

    And for those who haven't seen it...I hung a hammock inside my Wrangler. There was actually enough room to get comfortable, even with the doors on.

    Anyone else hung a hammock in their vehicle?

    Actually I did it in my Trooper as well
    I'm too tall to make it really work inside so I used a tree on one end.

    I'd be curious where he attached the foot end of hammock in the trooper. I guess it could have been outside and around the rear spoiler.

    He said, "I fastened two big O rings to the opposite corners of the top frame of the jeep..." His daughter is 5'6".

    I think he meant "jeep" in the generic, and not the brand Jeep...he kept saying Trooper but never actually said Isuzu Trooper.

    I just fired Stephanie this morning; what a coincidence. Worst part of my job!

    I'm going to try this in my TrailBlazer tonight just to see if it will work. I'm not sure where to tie-off to, but it will be fun.

    Next you'll be naming your underwear and your pet rock... I never have understood the personifying of inanimate objects. Maybe I missed that gene when they were handing them out. Have you named your hammocks too?

    trooper hammocks, Jeep, girl's names, firing, hammocks.

    I thought about naming my hammock the latin word for comfort.
