Never leave for the trail without my Molly Mac Gear Box!:DQuote:

Here is an example.Quote:

A Gear Box is a silnylon gear hammock made on the model of the Molly Mac Gear Hammock Sock with SEEP, so that it has a top that drapes over it to keep rain and snow out. It is made with plenty of baggy-ness so that it will hold an entire backpack and it's contents, even with gear exploded. ;)Quote:

I'm visualizing hanging it under my hammock and UQ. Wondering if I did so, and put my pack and it's exploded contents in it, could I hang my hammock at seat height? Could I attach it to the hammock'e suspension? Thanks.
Is this this similar to what I've seen that hangs under hammocks to store gear?
Yes, and yes. You could let the gear hammock drag on the ground without ill effect because it's silnylon.Quote:
