    Do you hang stuff from your hammock?

    I was looking at some of the hammock accessories around the web (underbellies, possum pockets, sleeves, etc) and a I just kind of have a feeling towards them.

    Does anyone else hang their pack from their hammock? The lashing loop at the end of my ENO is perfect for hanging pack via caribiner. I usually do it at the foot end.

    Sometimes.
    Sometimes I just lay everything under my hammock on the ground.
    Sometimes I use my pack under my legs to boost my partial UQs.
    Sometimes I hang everything from a bear bag line.

    I get bored easily, so every camp is usually a little different from the last.

    Diddo! Couldn't have said it better. Once I even had three sticks available that I lashed together and used as a tripod pack rack. Just fun stuff to play around with.

    Pack usually goes on the head end with the pack cover on. Boots hang on the other end. Trekking poles too when not in use to make an awning with the tarp. Around here, marmots like to chew your stuff.

    Yep...pack (empty with all pockets unzipped to keep the critters out) with rain cover at the foot end via carabiner. I used to hang my boots as well, but since the 2Q/ZQ mod, I just put them on the top of my trekking poles within easy reach as I roll out in the morning. Additionally, with the zipper mod, I can hang my hydro bladder at the head end and just have the drinking tube in the hammock with me.

    I hang my camp shoes up on the ridgeline, so they are easy to find in the dark.

    I hang shoes, headlamp, and pant pocket contents (in a pouch) from the ridgeline so it is in reach.

    Depending on temps I may shed a layer or more and hang socks, shorts, or shirt from it as well; again convenient and in reach.

    I hang my pack on the suspension line.

    The easier question is what don't I hang.

    My pack goes under my legs between the two layers of my BB to give me a little more warmth.

    My shoes hang from my suspension line at my feet.

    My water bottle hangs from my head suspension line.

    A flashlight always hangs inside my BB on the ridge line. This is a very small proton type light that I use as my reading light.

    On the shelf in my BB goes everything from my pants pockets, my book, my hat, and my camp shoes.

    From the ridgeline I hang my ipod for evening music.

    My socks, from the day's hike, hang on the Ridgeline at my feet.

    Wet/stinky clothing hangs from my suspension at my feet to dry and air out.

    Yep that is about everything.

    I have one question, does anyone keep a flashlight in the hammock at all times like me or is it my own personal paranoia?

    Headlamp is ALWAYS looped around the ridgeline for fast access to 'lighthouse mode'.
