I just hung a test hammock I made last night. Pulled out the daughters sewing machine and also made a couple of stuff sacks. I tried to hang the hammock with some sag and then readjusted it after a few tries in it. It will take some getting used to thats for sure. I put a foam pad and a rectangle bag in it and just got on top of it. That was ok untill I tried scooting around. The bag bunched up and the pad was off center. Should I not use a pad and plan on having insulation under the hammock? I don't have much trouble getting in and out of the hammock but I think a mummy bag is the way to go as long as their is a long zipper on the bag. I plan on doing some more tweeking on it today. So far I think it will be better than a tent for sure.
