    35$ 3 season setup

    Here is a complete setup that I made for 35 dollars. 25$ Travel hammock from Walmart. Free mummy bag that a friend was throwing out. 10 bucks for tarp clips and a blue tarp for rainfly. I removed stitching from the ends of the bag and re-stitched so that ends we're left open. Attached tarp clips to ends of mummy bag and used shoestrings to attach it to hammock suspension. My roommate slept in this setup at the Red Mo Canoe Race last March. Low was 30. He stayed plenty warm. I thought you guys would enjoy this...

    Nice job. Great idea for your hammock setup.
    Is it hang time yet?

    Can't argue with the price! If he was warm and comfortable, then it is a great deal. Nice work!

    Nice, always more than one way to skin a hammock!

    We have had no issues with the bag unzipping. There is actually an extra velcro strap at the top of the zipper to help hold it closed. This setup has been on at least ten trips since March.
