    Small hammock fans...

    I am looking for a small compact fan that could be hung from a ridgeline in a hammock. I have this vision of one where the blades are encased in a small cylinder so that the blades don't get into the netting.

    I know it is late summer, but I was looking for some ideas...

    go to your local walley world. See if they have the 2-AA battery 3 blade fan. $1.65 cost wise.
    its fan blades are a soft foam. Dump the batteries put in real ones.. Hang from ridge line.

    comes with own clip. not bad for its size.. get two, for moving air.

    can post photo of mine.. Someone mentioned it on one of the threads.. So I bought one too.

    Surplus computer fan and a 9v move plenty of air.
    Hammocking, car camping, backpacking, kayaking, and mountain biking. Getting in touch with nature is getting expensive. Good thing I can DIY!

    Same here. I was thinking this was going to be about the benefits of shorter hammocks.
