Interesting. Thanks for sharing that, thughes317.
Hammock curious here.
I sleep almost exclusively on my sides. Could I be comfortable in a hammock?
I've slept in my Dream Hammock either way. A good asym will let you lay how you want to lay, as long as the position of your body works out to roughly the way the hammock is cut, you will lay flat. The only thing to be concerned with when sleeping on your back is hyper-extension of the knees during the night, happens to some people, easily remedied by balling up something and shoving it under your knees.Back sleeper here. Hammocks only work that way.
Top quilt/underquilt...snug.In cooler weather, what do you do to stay warm? On those 35f nights I froze in a hammock.

Wouldn't an ordinary sleeping bag work?Top quilt/underquilt...snug.
To some degree yes. But the small air pocket and uncompressed insulation of a free hanging (draw cord ends sealed against hammock when properly adjusted) underquilt is mucho warmer. And inch worming is eliminated; I can never keep a sleeping bag adjusted comfortably. YMMV.Wouldn't an ordinary sleeping bag work?
I just back from a trip to Oklahoma and was planning on hammocking for the first time ever. I luckily took a tent just in case I couldn't get comfortable in a hammock. When I got to the spot that I had reserved, there was only 1 tree. Hammocking went out the window at that point. Don't know what I would have done with out the tent backup as all the other camping spots were taken.I have a hammock that I've yet to use it would love to use it because it would be easier to carry than a tent... But I camp often in the desert nothing to hang it on. Also worried about finding camping spots having to look for trees that are the right distance from each other. But I do plan on trying it sometime
Can you give a review of this hammock tent ? now that you have had it for some time ? I am interested in a set up like thisI do tent and hammock camping, but recently bought (got on preorder) for the haven tent XL.
All the extras for hammock camping, tarp, under quilt, top quilt/bag ended up making for more to the sameish bulk to pack compared to my tent setup. The trying to get the perfect lay, fighting my underquilt position as I flopped around at night always became a hassle. I Got good sleep but had to readjust several times through the night.

Of the reviews of these I've watched sold me on one of these, the true lay flat setup and ease of setup where big draws to it. The being able to use if for both hanging or ground use and not having to worry about the where im camping as much was the finisher in my decision. In CO camping above treeline for some great views is nice but your SOL if in a hammock only unless you carry a bulky and typically expensive stand. Similar issues with only a tent forced my primitive only way of camping to keep me looking for flat spots sometimes. Can't wait to get it to try it out.
