Hammock Camping and Musicians

Are there any musicians or pseudo musicians in the forum that take an instrument with them when they go hanging? I would be interested in seeing what types of instruments are taken with you.

This is my usual axe but I think I am going to build a shorter version of this instrument so that it is only about a foot long. The instrument is already really light so making it a much shorter scale length will be even better.

Mandolin is my muse but I never bring it camping. The music of the piney woods is enough for me.
I backpack and just want to eat and sit and stare at days end.

Unfortunately I'm a drummer :-) (or was 25 years ago)

I make travel drums!

Here is a travel cajon with a calf skin head on it. It is only 12" diameter x 1" deep and weighed 12 oz. Sounds like a small snare drum.

My singing voice is my ultimate ultralight hiking instrument. Don't cringe... nobody else gets to hear it but me.

But you won't hear me play it. Only play for myself when no one is around.

Brass musician with 17 years marching with Drum and Bugle Corps (DCI and DCA). I now sit on the board to form another one and will be doing brass instruction for the hornline this summer.

I don't think you want to set up anywhere around me. It's best I leave the horns home.
