I average 3-4 hours a day...this semester is pretty slack, but in the past that's all the time I could spare. You get used to it. About the only time I get a full night's sleep is when im in the woods :p

I have battled insomnia since I was about 12 or 13 years old. I can go a couple of days without sleep pretty easy. I also tend to sleep 4-5 hours a night and I am fine. I do get tired if I sleep to much.
my dad swears you can sleep when you are dead but I anit going to chance it I would probley get stuck with guard duty or something .:D
now thats hanging. that makes my trip to south mt look really bad.
I went and hung out last night at a state park on Lake Hartwell, here in GA.
I purposely chose a site near the water for wind. It was humid last night here as well.
I hung my hammock higher than I have previously, AND I also hung my JRB tarp up a bit higher as well.
I found I was able to easily make the pitch more of an acute angle without it seeming to give me that claustrophobic feeling.
I found the sides didn't sag as much, and the self tensioners seemed to be able to work more efficiently.
So, since we have more rain heading this way, I will go ahead and try this pitch out in the backyard this week and see how it does.
I found I didn't have quite as much trouble reaching my hammock with my short self as I thought I would :D
I was also quite surprised at how much things stretched out and ended up lower in a short time !
So, now I know I really need to start out with things a LOT higher up !
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions- gonna give them all a try and see how things work for me.

WAY too warm for January!
I noticed some birds with nesting materials in their beaks and some new green stuff popping up from the ground... not good...
And the BUGS !
I can't help but wonder if we're gonna get a nasty ice storm though.... UG.
Yeah, but you'd be immortalized with the CSI fans...hammocker found dead in woods, sharp force trauma to the aorta, no weapon nearby, no footprints besides his own. Make a heckuva made-for-TV movie. I'd watch it.
