I've used an 11oz hammock that could just about fit in your pocket.

Amazonas Hammock

Quick to set up, only 20 dollars, comfy.

I'm ordering a tree boat, though!

Geez!

Even MY groundies ain't THAT slow!

 

[NickfromWI]

The tree boat is way cheaper, too. It's like 150. I guess you plan on getting a few accessories.

 

[xtremetrees]

Yes a rain tarp. Got to have it big enuff for 2 if ya know what I mean.!!!!!!!

The only time I have ever slept in a hammock is when I was in the Panamanian Jungles. It wasnt because I wanted to be cool and sleep in a tree, its just that every thing animial, vegetable, or mineral will seriously ruin your weekend. I can deal with diving with sharks, jumping out of planes, vampire bats, and the black palm. but I just HATE snakes. ACK

I've got several tree camping shelters.

A regular TB, one that has a tubing support on the edges so that I can hang it from one top support. A two person portaledge with top, A single portaledge with top or mosquito bag. A tube tent type hammock too

The TB is the most compact and cheapest one besides a net hammock. I don't care a lot for the TB because it isn't flat.

If anyone is interested in buying the two person Pika with fly, drop me a line off the forum. It is so close to being brand new you can still smell the fabric.

This ounds about the same as a mechanic sleeping in the back of a car.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

In a way

But if that car is a mint 65 Mustang that you just did a carrage finnish restoration, i'ts somehting I could see

I think the point you miss is that trees are a real pashion for us, not just the work, but being in adn around them.

I think you have it to, sinc you are here, you just need to nurture it.

 

[Trees Company]

Ya maybe your right.

LOL it wasnt so much my back that that bothered me, it was the fact that I put a mosquito net over me, but those big yellow blood suckers could stick you through your BDU pants and you would have about a dozen mosquito bites on your fourth point of contact come dawn.:Monkey:

Turkey has these huge centipedes with stingers. The are so tough that when trying to pry them off a sleeping bag with some linemans plyers, the bag ripped.

JEST experiance, eat whatever you can dig up. Anyone for grub on a stick??

Scorpions glow in the dark if you have the infared beam on your night vision goggles turned on. :Monkey:

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

They taste like shrimp too

 

[OutOnaLimb]

Those big black South American ants that are about 3/4 inch long taste like sweet tarts.
