As of 8/18/2012 I became a Official Hanger! I went overnight car camping trip, and I used my DIY Hammock, and tarp. The hammock is modeled after the wildernesslogics Snipe. The tarp is made of 4 mil plastic sheeting and Duct tape. I used a rectangle sleeping bag for a pad and wool blankets to cover with. The tarp worked great until the sun warmed the adhesive on the tape, and the tie-outs let loose. Ease field repair though. My insulation worked well enough, the temp got down to the low 50's, and kept me warm and toasty. It was just a hassle getting nestled in. and didn't help that I had to make water a couple of times. In the morning everyone else was grumpy, sore and didn't sleep worth a darn. I told them "Shouldn't have made fun of me and my hammock. I slept like I was on a cloud."
Next step is to save for a Tarp, Under quilt, Top quilt.
