Was looking for an alternative to cot/tent camping on You tube, when Hammocks came up. Bought my first, an ( Equip) from Wal-Mart as an experiment. I'm never looking back. Best night sleep... every time. Looked in You Tube for D I Y bug nets and made one. Nice. Wanted to expand my "Hang 'n Out" further than my back yard so I made a D I Y tripod set for makeshift trees. We are scarce here for timber to hang from. Now I camp where sometimes there is only sagebrush and water for my kayak. I'm so excited about my newfound freedom from waking up with no pain I have recently bought the SuperFly by WarBonnet and today my XLC came .Had my husband try hammocks and now we both are enjoying the outdoors more. I hope to find new ways to improve my Hang.
