Hi all, I'm a new member to the forums. Thanks for having me.
I just recently decided to get a hammock. Up until not I've done all my hiking and camping with a tent. I just can't seem to get a good comfortable rest. I've got a decent sleeping bag, thermorest, etc. It seems that I'm tossing and turning all night and I normally don't move much (or at all) when sleeping.
So this leads me to my quest to find the right hammock. I'm 5'9" & 185 lbs. The vast majority of my camping is done in FL although I do plan to go up north at some time in the future so I'd like something that is adaptable to handle colder temps.
From what I gather hammocks utilize one of three methods of entry; back, side, and bottom. My first inclination is towards side entry although I've never been in a camping hammock of any type soo take that for what it's worth. My preference for side entry seems to lead me to the Clark Tropical/North American or the Claytor jungle hammock. Am I missing any? I'm not dead set of anything at this point (including side entry) should I be looking at another type/brand of hammock?
Thanks!
