Hello, I have never posted here, but I got all the info for my hammock camping experience here. Even made my own bug net.
I went on a 50 mile kayak trip and hammock camped on the way down. The first night I realized my homemade bug net was not going to work. The bugs just got trapped inside of it. But I had sprayed my hammock with permethrin and the bugs stayed very far away. The first night a raccoon was crawling around under and and kinda freaked me out. The second night I slept great. I hung a regular tarp over the hammock, used paracord with figure 9's for the stakes and nite ize camjam for the ridgeline. I am not good at knots. It rained for a little big and I stayed 100% dry.
I am a stomach/side sleeper. The first night I didnt hang it well enough to sleep on anything but my back, but the second night I tossed and turned as usual and woke up several times on my stomach completely comfortable. The only thing I didnt have and need is a hammock pillow.
Thanks for all the info I found on this site. I am definietly hooked on hammock camping
