Hammock

The one essential that is even MORE essential as I age is a hammock. The small, packable kind with no "bars" on the ends, they cost about 5 - 10 dollars and after a long day, are worth their 1/2 pound weight in platinum!

We have been using these cheap hammocks for years and now can't find them anywhere. They used to sell them at Walmart for 4 to 5 dollars, and now, gone. Do you know of a source? Ours are on their last legs.

early may 2004 i brought the byer's of maine mosquito hammock on solo trip. it's under $40 and weighs 16oz. will never leave home without it!! weather was terrible for first 2 days, rain and high winds out of northeast drove me off water by noon both days!!! had to set up camp in "bush" as couldn't make campsite. set up "dryfly" tarp and hung hammock underneath, slept dry and bug free!!! worked so well i used it the rest of the 10 day trip and never set up my tent!! might never bring a tent again?? but will always bring the hammock!!! when you stop for lunch what could be better than a "afternoon" nap in a bugfree hammock!!!
