    Desert Hanging

    Hanging in the desert is kind of a challenge. Laying in my hammock is the only way I've found to straighten out my sore back after sleeping on the beds provided. Not a tree in sight and all the light posts and other structures are too far apart or too flimsy to use. Some bits of bunker seem to have filled the niche. Not bad for a first attempt, I'll add a bit more sag next time.

    That is definitely thinking outside the box, or bunker in this case. Great idea and good luck with the future hangs.

    My forum name is Fish<><; I'm in the navy; and I hate sleeping on the ground. If I didn't need ground to walk on or measure resistance to, I think I could happily give it up.

    I agree with Fish. Way to be resourceful and good luck finding more things to hang from.
