There are three of us with one being our daughter who's nearly 7. Much too young to be alone at this point but we wondered about this in a few more years.

My issue was the weight and bulk needed to stay warm in the winter. It seemed to me that it may not be any better, and possibly worse.

I've had in mind a fish net-like mini hammock that my friend had bought long ago from the BX. It wadded up to the size of a softball and couldn't have weighed much over a pound.

I've been wanting one just to lounge in around camp but don't see anything like that.

Hammocks may be ideal from mid spring to mid fall down here in TX.
