Hey All,
Just wanted to introduce myself.
I kind of fell into this whole hammock camping thing when TrekLight had a pretty sweet sale and I picked up a double last week. They had an interesting article on their website about camping in a hammock and it intrigued me because I've been a Tworder for my whole life.
After some digging around I came across this site and decided to get all geared up for an impromptu trip later today up the Poudre Canyon here in Colorado.
Here's my setup for the weekend:
*TrekLight Double Hammock & included suspension
*Chinook 9.5' x 12' Tarp
*Homemade Peapod from a 0* bag
*Closed Foam pad
*Spare sleeping bag just in case.
It's supposed to get down to the mid 30's at night but I think I should be fine. This is essentially a car camping trip since it's my first time and I brought a backup tent in the hopefully unlikely event I have a rough time with the hammock.
Anyway, this is getting a little wordy - looking forward to my hang over the next 4 days. I'll be sure to report back with pictures and an initial reaction.
Thanks for all of the info on here - it's proven to be very valuable in preparation.
Cheers,
Lucas
