First over night in hammock

[nikao]

Very nice! Was this recent?

Yes it was Veterans day weekend, Saturday and Sunday.

Hey Nikao,

Congrats on your first hang. Tell us how you liked it and tell us what worked and what you'd do differently, (if anything), next time.

This forum is a vast wealth of experience and knowledge and its everyone's for the taking. Isn't that wonderful. Our thanks to the HammockForums founders and staff, (our ever present Moderator's, etc... )

All the best !

I loved it! I am getting rid of the backpacking tent now. I liked that I hiked off trail up the side of the mountain half a mile and could set up there....would never have dreamed of setting up a tent at the same spot. It was very comfortable and great sleep when I did sleep. I learned that problems setting up could be over come with a few knots and cordage. Next time I set up the tarp I am going to use taunt line hitches on both ends of the ridge line to make the V so I can get it lower over the hammock. I am also going to make a PLUQ I think that would have made all the difference.

It was cold I just had a sleeping bag and clothes on so I did not like that...... actually that is the only part I did not like.

Sweet view and thanks for posting! I hope to have my first hang in a couple weeks. What was your bottom insulation system method?

Did not have one. Good luck on your trip.
