I've never slept in a hammock, but I've fancied trying one of those 'jungle hammocks' (with overhead cover and an insect net) for ages.
Hi All
I use a DD hammock most of the time with the a DD big tarp.
I have found it a bit cold over the winter so I am going to try using the tarp like a bull-pup tent.
Or a closed in lean-to and with the new candle lantern I have see if I can keep a little bit wormier, when it dips down to below -0

Most people in Canada don't know about the hammock option. Getting back in the hammock is a relatively new camping experience but its gaining popularity quickly because for allot of people its the answer.There are mainstream commercial hammocks coming out now, the boy scouts of America are starting to switch over and people are generally starting to clue in to the option. What's great about the hammock is it gives you another option and is a very good option for those who's knee's are worn out and or who just can't sleep on the ground anymore. Unfortunately people have there preferences like ford/chevy and then rationalize their choice. Theirs no need. Bothe have their place. I tented for 14 yrs as part of my job. Now i hammock camp and am happy to but i might go to ground sometime.Its not a club, its a tool ,albeit comfortable one.

I have done both in the jungle, on the ground on beds of palm leaves in improvised palm branch shelters and in a hammock. In the former I spent most of the night worried about tarantulas and snakes (advice from instructor - just keep still and they will go away!!) so hammock with built-in mossie net is the way to go.
