Looking for other's thoughts on the worst part of hammock camping. For me, it is putting on my pants in the morning. I usually have to pee really bad. If I am lucky it is cold so I don't want to dilly-dally. My pants are balled up in the Chameleon sidekick . . . and hanging my legs over the edge of the hammock basically seals the pocket opening so I have to rock back and forth to get anything bulky out of the pocket. I lean back and get my feet into the pants legs and then slide my shoes on while the pants are basically around my ankles/calves (for a 240 lb man this is not easy). Once the shoes/boots are on I can stand up and slide the pants on and get the belt buckled. Now it is time to pee (as quickly as possible) and then get another layer on the top and consider a fire (when it is cold) or think about breakfast (if it is warm).
Just wondering of anyone else has this experience and what they have done to reduce the frustration.
All of this is wonderful but, if I had to change anything about hammock camping, it would be putting my pants on in the morning.
