Hello from Jakarta

[bdarma]

Hello, apa kabar !

Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia. Here not many people camping using hammock (they prefer tents), but now i've had hammock camping for five times and I am sold,
Looking forward to tapping into your expertise as this is a whole new thing for me. Now i got Eno Pronest hammock, Akira Mata (local brand) hammock, and lastly (by using shipping forwarder services) got Warbonnet Blackbird XLC (what an expensive purchase, lol). For tarp, i am using local no brand tarp. No top quilt or underquilt yet. Btw thanks to Mr Shug for his videos.

terima kasih

Welcome aloft from McCormick, SC. I think you may get a few converts once some of your friends try the hammocks.

thanks, .. yes now some of my friends are converting to hammock, and we even have plan to do a hammock gathering in the end of this month in Sukabumi, about 80kms from Jakarta.
Previously we already had mini gathering in Bogor, 60km from Jakarta, with 8 people show up (one of them have hennesy which he bought some years ago and never use before)
Maybe this time there will be more participants,

Welcome to the forum, Bdarma

I think hammocks should be superior to tents in the damp jungles.

Lots of hammocks in general use throughout Asia.....just not that many used for camping !
Spread the word & welcome to the forum, Bdarma.

Selamat datang!
I would love to hang in Indonesia! I lived there for a year, and it is so beautiful! Hanging probably keeps you away from most of the creepy crawlies on the ground.
