    Paris Mountain State Park, SC

    Went to PMSP, SC 8/28 for a quick solo overnighter. A nice hour hike down to the North Lake, way to pricey at $15, and apparently I have a bad hammock design because I slept horrible. Could not get flat for some reason so it made my knees feel like they were being bent backwards some.

    All in all I guess it was a good trip to try out all my DIY stuff I made.

    Check out the video!

    Nice trip I,Its too bad you had a bad night sleep. I wish you had shown the set up, But I'm guessing that the hammock had to much sag,either from to close, need about 15 feet from tree to tree and should be about 5-6 feet high. And of course that's only a rough guide it depends on the hammock of course.
    I hope you do get it figured out,because sleeping in a hammock is pure heaven.
    I also hope you find a cheaper place to go. that was a nice area but not worth 15 dollars a night.

    Instead of building a tripod to hang my backpack on every night, I just leave a short cord attached to it, which I use to hang it from a handy tree limb at a convenient height.

    Looked like very nice weather! Thanks for sharing your report.
