    How many of us sleep every night in a hammock?

    I expected a bumpy start, but I never felt sick to my stomach last night, and that's a huge plus. I also felt like I could breathe better all day.

    11' is best, i use 10' and i am glorious in it. Buy a hexon 1.0 from dutch, you will not be disappointed. I also ised to hang in studs, but the repairwork necessary if the walls fail is too big a risk, so i use a 1" galvanized pipe stand now.

    Many people I work with say the same thing. "Isnt it uncomfortably sleeping in a curve. They just docent get it. Turn your body on a angle to the ridge line and your pretty much dead flat. I sleep on my back flat and on my side flat. You just have to lay on a slight angle. Check the web for pictures if I'm not explaining it good.

    Just starting.

    I'm at 6/9 nights now, a little too windy a few of those nights.

    I'll toughen up in a bit

    Nearly every night at home since January 2015, and most nights away as well. Have had eyebolts in studs in living room and bedroom for many years now, holds two people just fine.

    Do you set up a tarp every night, or do you have a permanent shelter?

    7 months straight for me so far. I have no plans on switching back to a bed.
