i might end up working at the boat show (set up and take down) but not sure yet. if i do i should be able to blag a couple more tickets for the draw but no guarantees at the moment.

really really looking forward to this one, real life got very much in the way of the december meet and i'm in desperate need of some time out in the woods where things make a little more sense.

cheers

OK. Just been out for my second attempt at hanging and getting in my hammock. All went well except for the coldness underneath me. Do any of you going to the meet have an underblanket you'd like to swap/sell? If not, any bargains to be had out there? Been looking at the Snugpak one but 75 quid is a bit steep. Does anyone know the pack size of the Snugpack also? I'm sure that ths has been answered somewhere on the forum but i wanted to try you lot first.

hiya simon, not sure which hammock you have but you could try a cut down roll mat or a self inflating mat both can go inside or between the hammock layers. unsponsored does an exellent underblanket i had a 3/4 one off him for my hennessy, or you could even mod/hang a cheap square sleeping bag underneath?

I bought a Snugpack underblanket last year and they are a fantastic item of kit. I know they are a lot of shells but it made a lot of difference to the comfort of hammocking. Before I slept in an artic bag with a cheap thermarest in the sleeve of the hammock but was still cold.

The issue with hammocks are that the skin of the hammock compresses your sleeping back on 3 sides so you do tend to feel it on your back. You can help with a blanket over the top of you or back any extra clothes inside the hammock but to kill the problem dead an underblanket is the way to go.

The snugpack ones pack down well at a guess I would say to the same size as a 2 season bag.

Snarf and his Mrs camped out in December without one but I wouldn't.

Don't worry to much about setting up the hammock. There will be enough people there to help, mock and generally take the p1ss if you struggle.
