    No trees? No problem!

    Finally hit a place with no trees (friends back yard), so I got out some poles and strung it up on the ground. Not as comfy as hanging, but better than sleeping on an old couch!

    I just used 2 aluminum poles, attached the hammock ends and used it like a bivy sack. I've only done this twice before in the last 3 years. My friend was suitably impressed.

    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Thanks Rip. Here's some more pictures. It really wasn't bad at all. Just used my Big Agnes pad. Had plenty of room to move about and even to sit up. Sleeping was easy. My friend say's he'll get a new couch so I won't have to "suffer" out in the elements. I told him not to rush - it's no big deal! He and his Mrs thinks I'm not all there. I tell them "of course not".

    It's marvelseal. Basically a vapor barrier. I'll get you a piece.
