Anyone know what that green strap/trehugger is called?

Shiey, is that you?

I have a similar underquilt and it works. Slept in -1C. My buddy had a dow sleeping bag which he placed over both him and the hammock.

that's just where the cat sleeps

That a warbonnet?

One time I did MDMA and slept in a hammock just like this. It was the best sleep I've ever had.

Half the comments: "This would actually collapse and shatter my spine" The other half: "Sleeping in this is like giving your back a blowjob"

So death by snu-snu back version.

That's a good lookin hang, @op. What's your rig? Is that a Warbonnet? I look forward to my next hang, whenever that is.
bigsummerblowout
I love hammocks, we have one in the front yard and I use it as much as possible

I’ll never go back if I have the choice. You get used to it REAL quick and it’s amazing

Stupid question, but that tree supports you?

It's like 6 inches in diameter
ATLandNerdy
Jesus, yes, trees are really strong! they build, like, houses and shit out of them!
stonecw
It’s great ... until you can’t find two trees the right distance apart. Tried it; used it as designed exactly once.
g1tdat
Unless shit is crazy far apart, maybe you didn’t have the best straps, with loop straps it’s hard to not be able to get the correct setup.
stonecw
For me, backpacking in the Sierras, it was an issue of too close/too far or weak trees - never just right - and I had loop straps.
g1tdat
I get that. I will usually pack my trekking pole tent also, it’s UL so doesn’t hurt.
stonecw
Yep - same here; my rain cover doubled as a trekking pole tent.
g1tdat
Currently for most stuff I am using a 2p xmid tent, also have a nemo dagger, and hammock.
RubberChickenTenders
This is cool but ouch my back
HodgepodgeFoxe
I thought it might be uncomfortable, but hammock camping turned out to be the best for me.
DesmondGH
Come to Yucatán, we can teach you how to properly sleep on a hammock... At the beach... ?
moni31
My back is infinitely happier in a hammock compared to on the ground
DrJackBright
Having tried sleeping in a camping hammock, they actually can be surprisingly comfy, as long as you sleep at an angle
Exowe
I switched to camping hammock 2 years ago and I'll never go back
BringingRationalityBack
back is great, but being folded in half like a taco fucks my shoulders something fierce.
Nabblenab
You would be amazed at how comfortable Warbonnet hammocks are, they are so well designed! I have back pain usually, but not in camp hammocks
ederoni
Haven't tried sleeping overnight in hammock during camping but I always hear my friends complaining they get cramps when they do it
MrJwinkyface
I would imagine you would get cold with no bottom layer under you
g1tdat
I rock a quilt.
Himser
Not really. I did this for an entire summer, got down to 5 degrees or so and it was fine.. bloodsuckers were annoying tho.
absurdative
the blue puffy thing is an insulated layer
MrJwinkyface
Does it work? I tried to sleep on a second sleeping bag and froze all night
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
trick is to suspend it just below your weight/below the hammock so the outer layer cannot compress
Patriotsg
It's called an underquilt and it works very well.
Freemammograms
As a stomach sleeper I don't know how people can sleep in something like this. Cool looking shelter though.
archfile101
I slept so well I was snoring so loud someone came to check on me. It was like sleep evolved. Must try it if you can
CaptainYesterday
I cant do stomach sleeping. Everytime I do. My pillow is soaked in drool.
Demental
As someone who is a stomach sleeper at home, I love sleeping in a hammock
chazstick
I too am a stomach sleeper and my hammock has been infinitely better than any sleeping bag/pad combo for me.
Frostbreaker1
As a back sleeper I just kinda lie down
leoszliard
I got a setup like this a while back because it's lighter and packs smaller than a tent, but had to stop because I couldn't sleep at all
PaytonFrost
The diagonal lay is key, and there are also bridge hammocks that are great for stomach sleeping.
g1tdat
You can rock sleeping pads also.
nickelrocket
Surprisingly comfortable if you lay in it right. Super warm too with underquilt and insulated pad. Heavy though.
JEMbalaya
I am also a stomach sleeper. I tried camping hammock last summer. Best sleep I've ever had camping. And it was even 99 degrees out
Colopty
Wow, you slept out in almost water boiling temperature and didn't die? That hammock must've been amazing.
AristotletheAxolotl
Tbh it’s amazing for about an hour then it becomes a dark miserable cocooned nightmare where every movement risks unceremoniously capsizing.
LagerthaL16
And here is the truth I was looking for
RetsamEvalsEht
It's actually quite difficult to flip this type of hammock. The yard hammocks with a spreader bar at either end are a different story tho…
g1tdat
Never had an issue, backpack with one. I bounce between it and a trekking pole tent.
MoarCatsPleez
Once you nap in a diagonal-lay 11 foot hammock, you'll know...from a back-pain person, this has been an amazing discovery.
Judgementalwizard

I found living and sleeping in the back of my car for a few months on-top of blankets and plywood did wonders for my back
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
Not sure if sarcastic or truthful...
InAMellowTone
No 100% truthful. Did a trip from Alberta to PEI with my best friend

Still not sure ?

It's like those dog dishes where the bears don't have to bend over to eat.

Im glad i live somewhere i dont have to worry about bears when camping.

TIL: Tents are bear proof while this setup is not.

Metalgearslade
Are you dumb? It's like a tent but with no door, so the bears have nothing to knock on to ask to be let in. Fucking idiot.
montuesnvm
So now I also have to worry about vampire bears when I go camping?

My dad calls it a bear taco.

VHSdreamz
You stay high and dry in those things but if you like your spine you'll steer clear.
g1tdat
Never had an issue, but I also never knew I was using it incorrectly. How it is setup and how you lay in it is a huge difference.
rialaff
Can you explain?
g1tdat
When you lay in a hammock, you should be diagonal almost. Kick your feet at like 3 o’clock position. Also the hang should be as low .
g1tdat
*Shouldn’t be as low. You can look up proper way to hang.
