Hi everyone,
Just starting to get into the ancient art of the hammock!! Having recently been keen to get back outdoors and never really experienced a comfortable nights sleep in all my years of hiking (which I don't really understand as even with my 5cm thick thermarest I still struggle). Rumaging through my shed the other day I found a couple of old army hammocks in my camping equipment and start to wonder wether they may be better. But warmth is an issue as I like to hike in the dead of winter (usually no colder than about -5c and no snow just lots of rain.) So deciding that I wouldn't be comfortable in my existing hammock I splashed out and have ordered a Hennessy Explorer Deluxe. By the way this decision was made after watching Shug's You Tube videos and I couldn't argue with a fellow mandolin player. Looking forward to trying it out next week as I will be at home after a wrist operation. Shug do you have any tips for hanging a hammock with one hand? On the topic of staying warm I am thinking of making myself an underquilt and buying the Hennessy Undercover to protect it from rain etc. Long first post but I got excited.
cheers
Adrian
