Hello All. I'm trying to gauge the common interest between water sports and Hammocks. How many people take their Hammock on kayak and canoe trips?
Thank you for your input. If you do not take it with you, How many of you own a Kayak or Canoe?

i at least throw my eno in the boat every time i go. you never know when you'll come across a cool spot to hang out or when the lazy bug will strike. but i also enjoy doing overnight floats and then i take my hennesy set up
I kayak fish quite often along smallmouth rivers and streams... enjoy taking the hammock when kayak camping.
In the Donating Members section, there is a Paddling Forum for those that enjoy the boats... encurage you join the Donating Members group - great value for $10.
I'm new to hammocking so I've only had tents in my canoe until now.
Will definitely leave the tent behind and trying out an all-hammock setup for me and the kids this year.
I own an Ally 16,5. Awesome canoe.
I usually do 3 or 4 winter canoe camping trips now totally hammocking it. I do river trips and a hammock and tarp dry bag easier than a tent and take less space. Rest of the time is using my whitewater canoes and base camping which is really just car camping near the river. Have 4 whitewater, 2 flat water canoes and 1 sea kayak, a Pygmy kayak Coho which hasn't gotten much use lately.
I kayak camp as much as possible and the hammock is a staple. As someone else mentioned though, I always have the ENO in the kayak...just in case

I try to do at least one canoe trip and several multi day backpacking trips each year. I have progressed from family size tent to solo tent to tarp only and now to hammock and tarp. I no longer own any tents - if I can't use the hammock I probably won't go.

I canoe and hammock more than I hike and hammock. What could be better than a nice day on the water and a great night in the hammock?
Good luck,

I always bring a hammock on my canoe/kayak trips. Even if the wife and I use a tent, I still bring my ENO along. If i go alone or with a friend, I'll use my hammock usually.
I do at least three paddle trips a year, one of which is always at least 10+ days long.
I paddle a Penobscot, Blackhawk Zephyr and I've been making my own mahogany kayaks for 20 years.
