Greetings List,

I am in charge of our Boy Scout "Backpackoree" (camporee). Multiple classes on many aspects of backpacking and Leave No Trace will be held. One of the scheduled class is on hammock camping. The leaders recruited are hammock campers but asked me to ask the group for suggestions on what would be important information to share with the scouts. The class is 45 minutes long.

They are going to show different types of hammocks, how to hang a hammock, making a easy hammock, and importance of insulation (pads, underquilts)

Any other ideas, suggestions????

Thanks in advance,

Curtis Ware
