    Hello from my truck!

    I technically live in Arkansas but spend about 300 days/nights a year in my truck. It don't leave much time for outside activity. But I do get out a few times a year, especially on my vacation.

    I have almost slept everywhere except a hammock. Including a doze standing up once, didn't last long. I bought my wife a Grand Trunk last Christmas and now its my turn to try it. I've enjoyed reading around so far!

    Thank you all for a great forum!

    I don't think we have seen a hammock hung in a truck yet.... It would be interesting.

    Welcome
    I don't think a truck's sleeper berth is wide enough to hang a hammock unless it's a big one and you could maybe hang it diagonally. That would be pretty sweet.

    No worries. Ehud Benjamin has a built-in, go-everywhere, always-ready, hard-top tarp to sleep under!

    Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.

    Surely, God never did.
