Beautiful photo.
Hammocks are awesome and everything, but the few times I’ve tried sleeping in them overnight I felt incredibly vulnerable. Anyone else relate?
Haha, that’s awesome too.
I’m really not convinced that would scare off the predators vs. attracting them though. XD
I got caught in a rainstorm in one once. Definitely did not keep me or my stuff dry, the tarp blocks the rain from the top, but you get wet air blowing in from every other direction, and a little bit of spray comes in both ends.
Rain is one thing, a rainstorm is another.
I’ve been caught in the rain and I was fine. I read online that you can get a rain fly that folds around the edges and closes up the ends and keeps out spray and such.
I imagine in a rainstorm you’d be pretty miserable in a tent too, depending on where you were in relation to running ground water 🤷♂️
Thanks!
I have felt vulnerable yes, I had one experience where I woke up and thought I heard my buddy walking through the leaves, but then I heard him still snoring. I got a little freaked out, and listened closely, I was just hearing things. But maybe I would’ve felt the same in a tent? Maybe it was just because I was out in the middle of nowhere, which was new for me.
