Well I learned a valuable lesson a couple of weeks ago.
A friend had expressed interest in hammock camping but does not have any gear. I had planned on going camping for a couple days and offered to supply him with a hammock if he wanted to go along. He took me up on the offer and we headed out.
Got him set up in my Skeeter Beater Pro with Guide Gear tarp. He tried it out and said he was comfortable. Next day while checking out the hammock I notice two small holes in the netting.
What lesson did I learn?
Find out if someone is the least bit claustrophobic before putting them in a netted hammock. LOL Apparently he awoke in the middle of the night, got feeling claustrophobic and yanked on the zippers which caught the netting.
The funny part is, I had also brought along a large Brazilian hammock. Had I known, I would have set that up under the tarp because the bugs were not bad after dark.
Ahh well live and learn, it's really no big deal, but I will remember next time to make sure someone doesn't get claustrophobic.
