hey folks,
how cool is this? and here i thought i was nearly alone as far as sleepig in hammocks(in north america). i never knew it was such a big thing in the camping/backpacking world now.
i've had a mayan hammock hangin in my bedroom for 3 years now , sleep in it almost exclusively (like a baby i might add) best rest i've ever gotten.recommend em to all my friends and started selling them here n there ...
ive used a similar one for camping as well,with a tarp hung over a line above for rain/privacy.. though wasnt aware of all these new innovative "camping hammocks" aside from teh old army style G.I ones that didnt look too comfortable... pretty cool stuff!
so now i'm checking out all these designs trying to pick one out, i'm 6'3 225 so space is an issue! was leaning towards an HH explorer deluxe,though they get kinda pricey with the accessories etc...afterall these are still hammocks right?
weight isnt a big concern as,sadly, i dont have freetime to hike for weeks on end,mostly just weekend trips...
being pretty DIYish and handy,i'm sure i'll want to design my own eventually.but for the time being ill pick one up...
a friend has a "hammock bliss" type which he picked up for a measley 30-40 bucks..i fit ok in that,but do you normally keep you pack inside with you? that'd be cramped with this 1..
the hammock below a hammock idea(like the HH undercover) for storage is a great idea, maybe adding a strong zipper or velcro to the hammock side-bottom for access would be nice eh? is that a feature in any of the ones on market already?.
lookin fwd to more reading up.
catcha's soon
