#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! 😉

@tabernac #HammockCamping

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.

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.

Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

Some #hammocks have an absurd number of lines IMO. The fly in the first photo has eight lines! The netting examples in the second image have four or more lines *before* we even get to the fly!!

I quickly discovered that the netting and fly should be attached to the main straps (so you don't have to round the tree a second time). Exactly how this works will vary depending on the hammock design.

Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

I prefer hammocks with a "spreader bar" at the shoulders.

These hammocks use a short, flexible tent pole. They can be pitched without additional staked-out lines. The pole supports the bug-netting, keeping it away from your upper body. It can also support the rainfly as is the case with the hammock on the right. The extra weight is minimal. It can be hard to find this configuration. 🙁

Day 3 - #Everglades Trip - Sweetwater Chickee

As the name implies, this campsite is far enough from the Gulf that the water is mostly fresh (aka "Sweet"). As such it is a haven for #Alligators. The ~8ft gator shown here was extra friendly, which means some idiot(s) had been feeding it! Much more dangerous...

For todays #FollowFriday I'm going to do something a bit different. We have a lot of new users, one of the biggest surges we have seen in a while. As such a lot of new users are looking for high quality, long-standing, accounts to follow. Similarly many of the new users need some help getting attention and making new friends.

As such I am going to do this #FF in a few parts. One for old users I have mentioned in previous posts, as well as some of the new users who have been making quality posts and been active for at least a week now. Hopefully this will be more helpful.

Also a section for some bots might be useful.

I will use a persons profile description here as I dont want to misrepresent anyone.
