    Hey Y'all, from Central Alabama

    I have really learned a lot already from this forum, aside from being entertained. I actually began considering a hammock after listening to our local EMA talking about emergency evacuation kits. I thought I'd look at one of the small rope hammocks to go in a supply bag, but one thing led to another....

    Mosquitos were the first concern with a string hammock, then a checkered-patterned back... anyhow, I now own a Skeeter Beater and a Kelty footprint for a tarp that I learned about reading here. I have not yet spent a night in it (it's too hot), but am still learning how to efficiently set up. It is right nice to rest in, though. I just bought a second regular hammock on sale from Grand Trunk with the intention of adding a layer underneath, mainly to prevent mosquito bite-through. It should also be able to carry insulation up under the main hammock. You see how things got out of hand?

    Welcome! What are you talking about, we don't have mosquitoes here in central Alabama...they are blood vultures!
    It's a hammock thing, you won't understand!

    The wife no longer kicks me out of bed after she saw a hammock hanging in the dog house.
