Climb and Hang

[gmcttr]

It was a nice spring day today (for a change). I wanted to climb and I wanted to hammock....so I put them together and hung the hammock at 60'. A good time was had.

Nice. I keep thinking about getting a hammock to nap in while in the canopy.

At our age, ML, we need a nap after getting up there...

Just make sure you don't have any sharp pokey things on the back of your saddle.

Get yourself one of these and you'll be getting comfy up there..easy setup ..and its nice a light to pack ,comes with a bug net on it as well.

White Oak.

IMO, the GT Skeeter Beeter Pro with two additional lines to support the bug net would be a nightmare to set up in the canopy. There are many hammocks with the net supported by a single ridgeline that is integral to the hammock. Head over to https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/forum.php for all things hammock.

I'm thinking an integrated bug net could be problematic from the standpoint of getting in. If you had a limb to stand on so that you could sit down into the hammock (like you do on the ground), it might be alright. However, I usually find myself needing to rope directly down from the top into the hammock. You also have your rope to consider while in the hammock...I'm not going to unclip while hammocking at 60'.

Thats the one t.l. All that shits not necessarily the only way with four way its easy to use your imagination to setup.. When you pick a good spot and are ready to " hang" just enjoy the challenge or go home and sit on the couch I guess. Nightmares while tree climbing?? that be like cutting my rope or something not playing with my hammock. If you let the tree dictate you and not the other way around I could see getting a bit flustered if you just wanna nap so bad you can feel yourself going to dream land in the clouds

Reed, I'm so psyched to see you hanging high! I can't wait to go tree camping in temperatures that do not require that I carry 6lbs of sleeping bags and 2 large puffy jackets. Summer was here, then it snowed this weekend, but when it comes back I will be in the canopy enjoying the sunshine!
