went out the last couple days. did a little camping. first day was absolutely beautiful. 70's for highs, 50's for lows. but day 2 got to be a little not so nice. first came the wind. started out about 15 -20 mph steady all day. once my tarp came unsteaked on one side but i quickly fixed that. then came the storm/front that was comeing from the south. started blowing at around 40 mph with a few 50's in there im sure of it. i seen it was gonna rain and soon so i tightened up my tarp and laid back in my claytor jungle hammock . i brought 3 poncho liners with me for blankets. put one between the layers and the other 2 in the hammock so if i needed them i had them. then the rain came, coming down making as much noise as it possibly could. youd of thought a tidal wave just washed down on me. lol then it started to cool. and quickly. went from about 80 to 52 in a very short time. needed those poncho liners.lol, wrapped up and nodded off while listening to the slower rain now hitting my tarp. woke up and it was dark. about 1 a.m. or so. i was dry, my tarp was intact,water was dripping from the cinch buckles as i planned it should and everything was good in jungle hammock land.one thing i do need to do if im going to forget a flashlight, or to charge my phone, is get some kind of glow in the dark string to tie onto those zippers.lol when you just have to get out of that hammock and make a little rain yourself it sure helps if you can find the zippers. but it was another awesomely enjoyable hang with mother nature.
