my son is 7 years old, and has begun to express an interest in going hiking with me. when i bought my blackbird, i sold my tent (which was only big enough for me, anyways), so i'm going to have to buy another shelter of some sort before i take him out with me. he has said that he wants a hammock, too, but he always wants whatever i have before he knows anything about it. should i just buy a two man tent, or do any of you have experience with putting children this young in hammocks? i don't mean in the hammock with me, i mean buying him his own. would one type of hammock be better than another for a child? i guess i'm also a little concerned about him being nervous about sleeping "alone", whereas in a tent i would be in there with him. any thoughts, personal experiences, etc. would be appreciated.
