Hi All
First time poster Dave from Central Florida writing. I have no experience with hammocks, but would like to learn and enjoy the experience.
I am 60, 5' 10", 175 lbs, average build, etc. and love the outdoors. Temps here range from mid-70's at night to high 90's during the daytime. We have lots of big mosquitos and no seeums. What are some good choices of hammocks for comfort in very warm weather, biting insect protection, etc.?
Found this one via an Internet search: http://www.hammocks.com/hammocks/fab...sonhammock.cfm
I am a stomach/side sleeper, do move around during the night, and am wondering about trying to sleep in the inverted arc position. Is that difficult to get used to? Having a large hammock with room to move about would be probably be nice. Weight and bulk is not a concern. A good rain cover would be a necessity.
In warm weather, do I need any kind of bottom pad for inside the hammock? Do bottom pads provide a flatter surface to sleep on and prevent the hammock from pulling up tight around the sides of your body?
We have some big mosquitos here. Some have a leg span that can easily cover a quarter. They can bite thru your clothes and hurt when they bite. Can mosquitos bite thru the hammock material that is pulled tight against your skin?
Thanks for any helpful hints and information.
Dave
