Some excellent photos so far. Keep em coming though - still a few weeks to go.

I know it's an old thread, but I am so pleased you resurected it. Next summer, my grandson Cameron and I are driving to Bulgaria (from the U.K.) we will take 4 or 5 days to get there, camping along...

Thanks. Yes, Cameron loves his hammock. We've been using them for about five years now. He's 14 and says he'll never sleep on the ground again.

No I didn't. The photo where he is warming his toes at the fire was taken just after he got back from fishing for sea trout (he didn't catch any though) and his shoes and socks were soaking.
...

No, only my pride was hurt. Still, when I told Cameron in the morning he peed himself laughing and so did I. It's funny how a fire, boiling kettle and hot bacon sandwiches can make everything fine....

Just got back from Wales where I spend a wonderful 10 days in an old woodland. The place is called Merthyr Mawr and the woods is right on the edge of massive sand dunes, near the sea. The dunes...

Brilliant guys, we're off to a good start.

I'd like to sling my hammock between these two strong limbs

OK, the challenge has been set. You can get all the info and see people's entry photos HERE.

Eric

OK folks, from a suggestion made HERE we have a challenge for you all.

(EDIT: Due to some confusion later on in this post, I am stating here that nobody is being asked to do stupid Jackass...

Oooooooohhhhhh! I can't resist a dare! OK, I'll give it a go. Might take a little recce and some planning though.

Don't know what to call it, but I was wondering if anyone had started a thread and a challenge for hanging in unusual places. I'm thinking of silly activities like slinging a hammock between the...

Thanks guys. I'll have to get myself over to North Carolina one of these days. I used to chat with a bunch of people from NC on the Backwoods Home forum around the Y2K days.
Maybe a couple of...

His grandma owns a business making soccer strips for pro teams. She also makes these warm up suits so she just made one for Cameron. It works really well.
The sleeping bag he uses is made from...

We decided to drive up to the highlands for a chill out weekend. Well, chill out we did - it was cold, and it rained all weekend and the wind blew and blew.
But we were just fine in our Paradise...

Thanks guys, there's a few of us over here with an elevated perspective.
I'm taking the grandson down to Wales in two weeks time for 10 days hanging around in the woods (BushcraftUK Bushmoot). ...

Just thought I'd pop in and say Hi!

My grandson and I only ever use hammocks for camping now. Me, because having reached the age of 60, my back and hips hurt too much ground dwelling. My...
