    Swaying in the breeze

    Do you enjoy a slight sway while laying in your hammock or do you prefer it to be completely still?

    I love when I have a gentle swing in mine, but I do not suffer from motion sickness at all. What say you?

    I like the breeze... For temperature reasons and what not... But also its like being rocked to sleep when I was a baby... Last Friday at the dfw hang I was swinging hardcore all night which was nice... Better than some of the other guys sweating there butt off up the hill...

    Since becoming a hanger, I have always wanted to hire a sherpa, not to carry my backpack, but to stand by my hammock all night and keep it gently swaying

    A sway is nice - adds to the whole flowing of the wind thing!

    That's the part I love about a hammock. The first time I found myself humming Rock a Bye Baby. Talk about relaxing...
    I never hike alone. The voices in my head are always with me.

    I like a sway in an open hammock, but not is an enclosed on. (PapaSmurf Dangerbird with weather shield closed, or Chrysalis with top on it)

    the sway was one of my fears about hammocking. I get motion sick fairly easy, but with my blackbird staked out I have no worries.

    All depends on how many adult beverages were consumed prior to getting in the hammock.
    Assuming none, bring the sway!
