As a female scout leader who sleeps in a hammock finding privacy can be a challenge. I use a large tarp and fold the ends in like doors, it gives plenty of privacy for changing and washing.

We get spring storms, but this winter/spring has been extra snowy.

This weekend we took our Scouts backpacking, for many this was their first backpacking trip. It seems that despite the spring snow and the washed out trail from last June's flood, the scouts had fun!...

Come to think of it he probably has been working up to having a hammock in his room. Last week, he complained that his bed was getting to be uncomfortable, when I went up to read him a bedtime story...

My 5 year old just came down from his room and said that he was trying to figure out how he could rig up his hammock over his bed.

Not sure, if I should be worried or if I should just sit back...

Sorry to hear that there is not a kids corner coming any time soon. I have 2 kids and am a Beaver and scout leader. Lots of potential hangers. For now, I will post questions as they come up.

As a wife, if my husband put a hammock up in the living room, it had better be mine!

I am 41, although I act my shoe size (8).

Success! The little guy just woke up! The two of us were toasty warm.

The big guy, he will try to sleep until noon. But there was not a peep from him during the night.

We will get another...

I have tucked the boys in for the night for my youngest's first night in a hammock. We had planned on doing this last weekend, but there were too many signs of bear too close to our spot. This will...

We were at Grandma and grandpa's RV, as we have one tree, a paper birch, in our yard. Few kids were out and about, even at the park. Sad!

At home there are 2 or 3 families that let the kids run...

Set the hammocks up today, the boys were having fun playing bumper cars with the hammocks (cue squeals of laughter when looking at the pictures).547785477954780

Personally, will not cook or eat where I am sleeping. Yes, I know that 15-20 feet won't make that much of a difference, but I feel safer knowing I have not cooked/eaten in my bed. Hopefully, the...

The red one is polyester lining, the other is polyester lining for the solid green and a unknown polyester material for the out side layer (its heavier). The dimensions of the fabric was 3.5 yards x...

He is hanging in the only spot we have in our yard, and is light enough that his butt doesn't touch the deck 😯. Next weekend we will be around many trees and can try hanging under one tarp.

So, I have been busy making hammocks for my boys. Here is the one for my youngest, it's a double layer hammock. Can't wait to try them next weekend.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/19/enymavus.jpg

Thanks,

I will try the set up two weekends from now when I know I will be finished the hammocks. I will take pictures and if you or anyone else sees something I could do better let me know.

At the end of September, I will be attending investiture camp with my boys. My oldest, a scout, will most likely be in a tent with another scout or hanging nearby under his own tarp. But my youngest,...

I bought my hammock in June and have had a couple of opportunities to try since then and love it!

This weekend end I will attempt to make hammocks for my boys as I had to peel them away from the...
