    Maiden voyage after poison ivy in the hammock!

    So I went out this weekend for a little one night stay in the field. Several weeks ago, as some of you may have read, I got poison ivy in the hammock and all over my sleeping bag and generally had a pretty nasty few weeks. As a result I ended up with a new Kelty sleeping system and a spotlessly clean hammock. Had a great weekend with no poison ivy outbreak and figured I'd post a couple pics for you guys. Enjoy

    Whoaaaa!! How'd you get your hammock put up like that?!? I'll bet it was hard not to fall out!

    p.s. glad to read the poison ivy is gone!

    I don't play around. I prefer the shade of the earth so I tell it to turn over. Nothin to it. Give it a try sometime
