Title: Re: Some things I have learned about hammocks Post by solotripper on Aug 19th, 2007 at 8:39pm
Ranger,
your right, if i had PLANNED that flip, i would of stuck the landing ;D I bounced right up so that should count for a few STYLE points ;) MP, I don't sleep to bad in hammock, but I'm a tosser/turner. I end up getting twisted around in sleeping bag and then I'm uncomfortable. Did spend 2 nights in bush in hammock, and I consider it a must take item on trips. I like the tent/hammock thing IC uses. I looked into one but saw a lot of negatives about the quality when I did my research. IC said she had no problems with hers, so I'm still on the fence about it :-/ I'm surprised some other mfg. hasn't come up with there own version of this item. Seems to combine best of both worlds. IF I was handy with sewing machine, I bet I could figure a way to use my old Timberline tent body and some strong aluminum poles and make a hybrid to hang under my dry-fly? A little roomier than a hammock but you could hang anywhere. I bet we have some designers/engineers who could come up with a engineered drawing for such a project? I also liked the "burrito wrap" picture ;) Lets just hope the bears don't develop a taste for "MP Burrito" :D |
