I’m recalling that we were coming back to prairie portage and had a DH2 Beaver taking off and hopefully avoiding us. We’re heading back to civilization.

Today’s POD of That Man Lake has me thinking that when the sun comes out, the camera comes out. Smiley

I guess they can be a real FUBAR PIA, at times, can't they, ST?

Any hammock aficionado who hasn't read that trip report of yours would be wise to do so in my humble opinion!

  Checking your hammock straps for frays before using is something I'll be doing from now on.
  The one's that broke were brand new and rated at over 300# breaking strength. Split that on 2 sides and they should have been good.

My new DIY straps are the ones that landscapers use to secure trees. Rated at over 1000#. If one of then breaks, I'll figure the Hammock God's are sending me a message  Wink Grin Grin

I think I’m going back to my tent and air mattress for my next trip. Although my hammock is comfortable and convenient, I just don’t sleep well. I toss and turn too much and like to sleep on my side, which I can only do, it seems, in a fetal position. No abandoning a hammock, just taking a break. Lips Sealed  Cheesy

Precisely the reason I have given the Haven Hammock Tent a try.  I'm hoping their new "true level" mattress will correct the minor "taco effects" i experienced at times last year.

I'm not much of a hammock person, I usually sleep out under the stars, unless severe weather strikes; but my friend Jason loves them. Here in this photo, he is one with the water.
