    Learning to hang in Las Vegas

    Hello to everyone!

    I've been working up the courage to go out and try hammock camping without my usual tent, pad, ground cloth, etc etc etc. I have gone so far as to put anchors into the walls of my house and set up my Grand Trunk. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but it's 110 degrees outside and I need the practice setting up.

    I hope to make some good friends here, get some good ideas, share some places to go, and maybe get some missing gear

    Welcome from the Northern part of the state. In some places in Nevada it is a challenge to find two trees spaced properly to hang from. You may have to construct a portable stand.

    I don't like the heat much either. Hang your hammock without the underquilt in the evenings and you will cool down fast.

    Enjoy,
    Keith

    I lived in Vegas for a while recently. I lived close to the 215 and Rainbow. I would suggest going up to Mt. Charleston and hang up there. Should be considerably cooler up there too.
