A Successful Test Run

I have been preparing for my bi-annual solo canoe trip in Algonquin Park and planning to use a hammock for the first time. Gave my new set-up a test run last night in a cold and heavy rainstorm in mid-Michigan. It rained all day and most of the night with temps falling into the mid-40s. I stayed warm and dry and woke up without the normal aches and pains of sleeping on the ground. I am hooked!

My set-up:

- ENO Single Nest hammock
- Hennessy Hex tarp with Lash-it guy lines and RL
- Thermarest ProLite3 pad with ENO Hot Spot sleeve
- Marmot Helium down bag

The Hammock Forums was a tremendous help in figuring out my set-up. I can now head out on my solo trip confident of being able to sleep well. Thanks!

Great news. That part about waking up without the normal aches and pains of sleeping on the ground has hooked you and me both!

Good to hear that.
Carry forth on the hammock quest and have a right goodie of a trip.

Sounds like you went through some great--bad--test run conditions. If only I could have you good--bad--luck.
