Staying at a lovely campground tonight.
I’m a bit worn, maybe I’ll just stay yet another night. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

My trekkingpole hammockstands performed as expected and definitely rule my list of equipment of choice when backpacking or camping. Don't wanna miss these on any trip anymore, that's for sure!
They are ultra strong and made out of carbon fiber.
You can see them in action in my video on YouTube:

#Everglades Trip -- Day 2 Turned Cold & Windy
At about 1pm the wind shifted 180° to the NNW and a line of dark clouds approached. It really looked like rain, but they quickly moved over and the temp began to drop. #Wind was gusting above 25kts! I portaged my gear back to the northern end of the island, back in amongst the larger trees. This was mostly to avoid the bugs in the wind shadows.
In the second photo you can see my full rig with an underquilt and diamond shaped rainfly. Got down to the mid-40s for the next few nights. I was comfortable and took down the fly after it was clear there would be no rain. 🙂

Did a quick overnighter during what may be this season's coldest weekend. About -12C which is about 15C colder than where I usually draw the line. Wanted to test myself and my equipment. And we all passed the test. I mean I'm here writing this in a good mood.
Hammock, THICC sleeping pad, underdimensionerad sleeping bag reinforced with a regular blanket and jacket also a liner for the bag I didn't need to use.

I got the Ticket to the Moon 2nd tree kit. It's some straps & pegs for using your bike as a 2nd pole for a #hammock . Lines have a whoopie sling for adjusting and two pegs in line for hold. It seems to be very solid and is simple to set up. I did have to tweak a bit to get the hammock to hang high enough. Next up is to try it with the Brompton and a tarp. The quality is good and well thought out. I'm into hammock camping at the moment so maybe for next bike trip.

And an evening swim has been taken! I just love taking a swim in our brown-ish small forest lakes, something about their smell reminds me of childhood summers.
Now I refuse to put my shoes back on for more of that summer feeling. That it currently pours is part of the experience

Not all bikepacking setups are sleek and cool. Mine is cobbled together but it gets me out the door and into the hammock

Sending message from my hammock at the #UKCommunitiesConference. The night is cooling, which is a pleasant relief, and there's lots of chirping bugs which feels idyllic 🦗🌳
Had a nice afternoon getting a tour of #CanonFromeCourt, participating in the opening circle, then going along to the Communities 101 session 👌

#HammockCamping Anyone?
Hybrid #Hammock / #SleepingBag
Here's an interesting idea—put a hammock INSIDE a standard sleeping bag. The bag has "ports" on both ends to pass the hammock thru. It took me a while to figure out how to pitch it properly, but once I did it worked pretty well as far as staying warm is concerned. But because you are constrained by the bag, you can't really sleep off-axis. So interesting but not really comfortable for a tall adult. Might work for a child?

Pitching in the Cold ( #HammockCamping )
One advantage of sleeping in a #hammock is it can be very cool in hotter weather. The flip side is it gets cold fast as the temperature drops. This is a big topic so I will just summarize the highlights here:
#SleepingBags give little protection from the cold when compressed by your body weight. This is why you need an insulating #pad when sleeping on the ground. Using a pad in a hammock is possible, but it can be very tricky. I've never gotten it to work myself.
Putting on More Clothing can help. I like to wear a #fleece to bed (since it doesn't compress as much).
I had many cold nights before I invested in a simple #Underquilt. It is basically a blanket shaped like a taco. 😉 The goal is to suspend it under the hammock but not put much weight on it.
Since the part of the sleeping bag that you lie on adds very little, many serious hammock campers use an #Overquilt. These look like mummy-style sleeping bags with the opening in the back! You don't need much of a back if you are using a corresponding underquilt. This also makes them easier to get into! Overquilts generally have a collar that can be closed around your neck, but they do not have hoods, so wear a hat if your head gets cold easily!
If your fly is large enough, you can cut down on exposure to cold winds by wrapping the windward side under the hammock to make a sort of cocoon. This is very easy with a standard diamond-shaped fly.

Back with more #HammockCamping Tips 🙂
👉 Know Where Your Towel Is!
One nice thing about hammocks is you don't have crawl around on the ground. You do on occasion have to deal with your wet or dirty feet! It is always a good idea to have a small #towel, cloth, or bandana handy to clean and dry your feet before you hunker down for the night.
👉 Unmentionables
Without going into too much detail… I'll just say it is possible with certain hammocks for men to relieve themselves in the middle of the night—rolled on their sides thru a partially open zipper. The exact details are left as an exercise for the reader. Watch where you put your shoes! 😉

Yes. That is the basic idea. I misunderstood about straps vs ropes.
I've never heard the first part referred to as a "slippery half hitch", but the name fits! 👍

@parslii @oherrala #HammockCamping
"I just use my trusty trucker's hitch to secure it."
So assuming we are talking about the same basic compound knot (image)...
Then you make adjustments to your hammock by adjusting the two half-hitches (right side)?
Do you rope directly to the tree, or do you also have a strap?

"But when it's going to rain or snow heavily with wind then larger tarp with more tie-out points provide better shelter."
No doubt! You argue for both more complex and LARGER tarps for more intense/complex situations. I agree.
My issue is more the other side of the coin... manufacturers making the "default" or fair weather tarp SMALLER and more complex. My opinion is that this reflects marketing needs (being able to claim "lightest" or "under X-ounces", etc.), and not the performance of their products in the field.
From the sounds of it you are camping in rougher conditions than I am, so of course you gear-up accordingly.
Thanks!

@parslii @oherrala #HammockCamping #Dutchware
I don't own any of their gear, but it looks interesting. I was surprised that they were sort of "hard to find" in basic web searches. One issue is the volume and variation of what they offer. It can be confusing. I found this "intro package" that seems a good starting point, but on the high-end pricewise.
https://dutchwaregear.com/product/complete-netted-hammock-package/
Their strap system is unlike any I've seen. Would like to see an independent comparison with a good carabiner system (what I'm used to).
Thanks!

I've been camping in my original "cheap" #hammock for eight years (let's say 100+ nights) and it has never let me down. Materials aren't high tech and I've done a few repairs, but nothing serious. I'm 6' 2" and weigh between 200 and 210 pounds depending on how much pasta I have access to... 😉
I've had two #hammocks from major brands (Hennessey and #Kammok). The Henn. hammock was almost unusable due to the knot-based suspension and asymmetrical tarp. I got rid of it. 👎
I really like my Kammok. But even with that premium hammock, I had to correct a defect in manufacture and I've been repairing small rips, etc. along the way.https://richard.rathe.org/2022/kammok-mantis-camping-hammock-review
My main complaint about the Kammok is the fly. It is just barely big enough and has eight (count 'em!) lines. Clearly that's too many. I'm about to attempt remodeling it to use snake skins for packing/unpacking. I'll post here if I'm successful.

"I have experimented with tensegrity tarp shelters with hiking poles, but I would rather just pack a tent."
I was expecting you to say "I would rather just pack a hammock." 😉
I've had some success with this #tent from River Country Products in Washington state. Their tents are well made and very inexpensive.
https://mdpaths.com/rrr/camping/tents/trekker_tent_1v_review/index.html
The two pole tent shown here has lots of ventilation (which is why I bought it). If I had it to do over I think I would buy their single pole version (mostly because I'm learning I don't really like hiking with two poles).

@nickrauchen @parslii Hex tarps can be a bit more complex to construct than a simple cut. Many are cut with catenary curve to help tension the fabric better.
