    Or even a gear loft hanging under your hammock. You have versatility, here.

    Good luck.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    Poncho = waterproof.
    As a chair it'd be slippery and sweaty. I made a sil chair, but I kept sliding out of it.

    Somethings can be done. But this one isnt practical.

    An almost similar idea is Just Jeff's pack cover and gear hammock:

    It's not a poncho, and it's not a hammock/chair for a person, but it might inspire you

    How about a poncho liner... chair? For those that use them as multi-purpose items (like this guy )
    Nothing I do is done by popular demand.

    Poncho Hammock

    I had a poncho hammock made, it works great for both. I started a thread about it but people just said over and over that it won't work. It does, so make your chair and I bet it will work perfectly.
    Carpe noctem!!
