Hardin County ILL, hello.

I live in the middle of the Shawnee Ntl. forest in Southren Ill and we can always have a fire, is it due to fire bans in some places.

Ok, I have been camping for about 30 years, (Ex U.S.M.C.,3rd recon and Ex boy scout) even doing the survival camping with only the 5 C's of survival and I have noticed that 95% of the pics. and...

i have gone out with just the hammock, knife, cook pot and if it gets to cold i can move to the ground useing the fly as a wind block. so the ((only)) down fall i have came acros with a hammock is...

I have never used a pad, don't need one with the hammock and if i half to move to the ground i will pile leaves or grass...etc. like animals do. watch even the animals know to nest when sleeping....
