Hello, new hammock camper. I've always been a ground dweller. I never took the hammock campers that I met seriously, but one day I tried one out and ended up waking up an hour later. Sold on the comfort!
Before I started dropping real $$ on this I needed a proof of concept camp, just to make sure hammocking in the wild was for me.
I may have accumulated at least 2 months worth of time sleeping in hammocks, but all of that is my backyard and my guest bedroom.
Now I've finally got 1 night in the wild.
Super comfortable night, only woke up for the owl hoot off contest that was going on in the tree's above me.
Concept Proven!
That's a Amazonas Mosquito Traveler. I haven't DIY'd a bug net so my favorite DIY hammock wasn't brought along for this trip.
That is a DIY gear hammock though.
That purple UQ is a quick and dirty DIY trimmed down synthetic sleeping bag.
I'm going to ditch the Kelty Noah Tarp. I've already got an Old Man Winter in the mail and 20' of netting to make a bug net.
And I'm thinking about a a Jarbridge River UQ. Even though I keep thinking I really want to go with down, the Jarbridge seems like a very good deal.
Had a fantastic night hanging, I'm really going to like this.
Let the $pending and tweaking begin.
