Hello,
Been lurking on here for a while and now finally registered. So first of a little background info!
I am looking into light weight exploring with the addition of my trusty bicycle. Initally looking at a Hennessy Hammock, then saw the price and thought twice, so began to look for cheaper alternatives. Someone pointed me in the direction of this site:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=370066372353&_fvi=1
So am thinking about getting one, seems pretty light and compact for carrying about on my bike.
So then I was thinking about sleeping arrangements and was going to go for a snugpack softie 6. But it has been pointed out that the quilt and underlay are a better option, however again the cost of these two raises issues at the moment.
Finally was going to go for a hex stove or Trangia, then found the ebay link so will plump up for one of those.
So my question is does the above hammock seem suitable, what should I look for?
Are karabinas really worth adding to a hammock setup?
Any other sleeping bags that are worth looking at than the Snugpack 6, for packed size.
Finally any other tips or info?
Many thanks,
Sorry if asking questions that have already been asked but I did search!
