    Hammocking in El Salvador

    The daughter of my best friend is currently in the Peace Corps, spending her time in a small village in El Salvador. She is a language major (Spanish), and has traveled to Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Spain prior to her posting with the PCs. When she started traveling she mentioned that many folks slept in hammocks where she had been. So I gave her a Hennessey, and she has had it with her ever since.

    So, while I was happy to rack up 15 nights above ground last year, she racked up....ummm....I guess the count would be 365. She loves it!

    Does she hang inside or outside? Here in Honduras I live in a hotel, and I have my hammock stand set up and was using by blackbird for awhile. I am now using the stand to hold up a mosquito net while sleeping on an airbed since my stand it s bit short to get the bb strung out comfortably. However, when bug season really starts I may put up my hammock again. I'm just curious how she is stringing up the hammock.

    A little of both

    But I suspect that she hangs her HH mostly inside for convenience. She does not need mobility so the advantage of a hammock over a mattress is pretty great.
