just had my first night in a hammock, it's a home made job from here
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/content.php?r=240-All-Thai-d-Up-Making-a-hammock
with a simple sleeping bag under quilt that i knocked up.
just been away with some scouts and thought i'd try it on the last night, so that'll be the day with the gales and snow as it turns out. didn't start set up till 3am and managed a half hour to rig up, and tuck in, in the dark. temperature below freezing all night but with a good sleeping bag in and a light wool blanket over top it was very comfey.
thanks for the article neil, i'll be using this hammock a lot
