Polish Lavvu Hammock Anyone?

Hello all,

Found this and thought I would share

What next I wonder...a coracle lavvu?

Cheers

That's a very nifty use of that - lovely job. I've not tried one of these out given you need two for a proper shelter.

The only disadvantage would be if it's been raining in the daytime and you've been using your singular poncho! With the two you're still sorted.

Viking Skip shelter. Traditional, works well summer as winter and inbetween.

BTW that is not a Lavvu, a Lavvu is a Same tent. That is a poncho.

interesting concept

Good Idea in principle, horrendously heavy and I wouldn't want to see how well it would hold up in the rain though!

We slept in the PL last week it was far to warm for the weather at the moment.

That is very imaginative!

I put my boy in our PL overnight a weekend or so ago. He found it a bit short and he is only 11! Photo with bottom of bag poking out.

I do really like them though. The canvas is great quality. I like that it's dark in there. With a groundsheet it would be a cosy little hobbit hole.

We tend to use a tripod setup rather than the single pole and managed a double airbed in side.

Sounds stupid I know but what does your tripod setup look like Woodcock?

I love em...and I'm 6' 4"...not a problem. Have one (well I have 2...) which I use with an A frame which means no pole inside. Very nice.

I've found that once the laavu is set up I can push the pole off centre so I can sleep across the middle. The sleeping bag still presses against the edge at my feet but not been a problem. An IPK sheet makes a nice groundsheet for my sleeping half with the edges overlapping the bottom of the tent.
