Hi from down in Pueblo. Welcome to Colorado. 70's yesterday, snowing today.

Maybe we can hang out sometime.

Campmor makes a nice tarp for about $80. It weights 13 ounces. It has the ties in the right places to make a nice tarp over the hammock.

It's just a cheap Alpine 20. It's supposed to weigh 2 pounds, but I have my doubts. Haven't gotten it on the scale yet. I have used it on the ground on a night when our water bottles froze and I was...

I've become a little dissatisfied with the structual ridgeline. I like to hang low to the ground and with the tarp on the structural ridgeline, it's too low to stand up under.

I could attach the...

It only got down to 55 last night. It did feel warmer with the pea pod configuration. It felt about the same as sleeping with the same bag on the ground without a pad. (I've never used a pad.) I'll...

My biggest gripe with a hammock has been getting into the sleeping bag.

Today, I realized my sleeping bag opens from the bottom, too. So I put the hammock inside the sleeping bag and it slides on...

There was a contest like this about 3,000 years ago. Some guy named Samson hung a hammock between two pillars and brought the whole place down.

I've slept out in the hammock the last 4 nights. I learned something new each night. The first night, I felt like a banana. But the position was comfortable for me. The thing is, my legs were tired...

I know there is another thread on this, but I can't find it. Someone was using a 4 inch fence post sunk in cement instead of a tree. This isn't enough. Someone else suggested using 2 4 inch fence...

I'm just learning about hammocks, how to hang them and how to make a shelter. Last night was my third night in a row sleeping in one.

Today, I went out to the park and hung around for a bit and...

Umm, Denver isn't far away, but I want to know what's for lunch first.

I came across the idea of a hammock while I was trying to reduce my pack weight and pack size. I decided the tent had to go as the poles are too long to fit in my pack. I considered tarps, but I...
