    Too hot in Alabama

    Heres a few shots of my new WBBB 1.7 single layer and my girlfriends WB Traveler 1.7 single layer with ENO bugnet. This was at Oak Mountain State Park in B'ham AL. Got there late, was soaked with sweat after setting up the hammocks. We cooked hotdogs, took showers, and laid down with mini battery fans. After an hour of continuing to sweat to death, we packed it up and drove a few miles back to my girls apartment. It actually started to flood on our way out so I'm glad we left anyway. No more hammocking for me in this heat.
    Both setups were very nice, however, and I look forward to using them again when it cools down a bit.

    Too hot is a very good description right now...

    Yep, too hot indeed. Tried a little battery fan a few weekends ago on an overnight trip...it helped, but was still sweating like a pig.
