November 14 2021 - Camping in my hammock
I feel #alive when I am close to nature!!
I was out on camp this weekend which for me meant using my hammock. It is easy to pitch (I put this up in the dark) and it is really comfortable.
Despite being about 8C at night, I was quite snug inside. It was lovely being close to nature and hearing the sounds of the woods where I was pitched.
The hammock can be closed off during the day using its "snake skin".
And it packs away really small. Ideal for lightweight camping. This is it packed up including the ropes, tarp, pegs, tree huggers and the hammock.

Hennessy is a great hammock, I have one of another brand called Ticket To The Moon though, but you sleep really well in a hammock, enjoy your new week and stay !ALIVE
Yeah, I usually get a good night sleep in my hammock and prefer it to a tent (which can be a bit hard on the ground). There is something very relaxing about lying in a hammock that make you sleep well.
Thanks for dropping by.

Looks great, but do you have a problem with condensation inside?
No, it is fine. The fly sheet is tight to the hammock but not attached so there is a good flow of air. If it is pitched right then you don't get too cold as too my draft at this time of year can make it an uncomfortable night.
I have slept out in it in a storm and didn't get any wetter than I would have in a tent! I think the end of my sleeping bag was a bit damp but the wind and rain was hard.
It sounds good. From my experience,sometimes a tent can leak, especially if you are on a slope or in a dip!
I have been there too, I once woke to what felt like a river flowing through my tent!
Thanks for dropping by - have a good day. Cheers !wine

I love my hammock, but I don't get to use it that much. Many times there are not two tress close enough together on out campsite. It can be hard finding the perfect place to set it up. Mine is short, so I need to have the trees kind of close together.
It does need trees at the right distance. Most of the place I camp do have woods as we tend to do a lot of bush craft and things when I camp. However, more traditional public campsites don't always have the right trees.
I have seen people only pitch one side of the hammock as the underside could be used as a ground sheet. I have never tried that though.
One of my friend used a stave on one side and pitched against one tree. It seemed to work well for him although he has a slightly different style hammock to mine.
That is very interesting. I thought about getting one of those bracket so you can pitch it on the back of your truck, but that just doesn't feel right. It isn't quite the same as doing it between a couple trees!
Thanks for dropping a comment btw - cheers !wine
