Ratbag and and Davey, do you included this time of year in that statement. Only ask because I was out hammocking last week with a slim airic, 58 sleeping bag plus tarp and I got chilled through.

It must be just me and outdoor sleeping makes me cold. Indoors i'm kicking off the covers. Oh well I'll just carry on, and i've made an underblanket that'll try in a couple of weeks.
I do like the idea of a hammock, but in general Im too tall and heavy to contemplate ever getting one and anyway, by the time you have all the extra bits its the size of a small tent when packed (I think).
However, what really puts me off is how I imagine you sleep in one. I thrash about all night and tend to sleep in a position that you find outlined around corpses at the bottom of tall buildings, the notion of being bolted into a Smarty tube for the night is awful to me. Are there any fitful sleepers out there that are comfy in a hammock?
No, the ground is more comfortable and simpler to set up.
I can put up my Vango Force 10 in five mins.
(things with bendy poles take longer)
and its always there...as a rule
I don't see the appeal. I sleep on the floor. Easier to get up for a wee and more sociable to be next to friends/family.
