    The notion that alligators are out to get you is an unfortunate myth. They're normally quite shy of people unless they or their nests are threatened.
    Interesting... I never knew that before! I guess they are like bears in that respect! That sounds alot like what I tell people about black bears when I go camping up north.

    The only problem I see is if the kayak moves the tarp hang is ruined.

    I would just have Troy and Clint (from swamp people) along with me. That way if I heard

    Choot' em Cleteous, Choot 'em.....whoo thawts a big'one...whoo...choot'em.

    I would know that I was ok for another hour or so, then again they may be saying that in regards to me
    I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.

    Gators I could live with, its the mosquitos that would drive me insane.

    Bad enough over here, with a bazillion friendly flies in the warmer months, but mozzie weather is a real pain.
    I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

    I'm not so sure. From the looks of it, unless there's a strong wind, the tarp would keep the boat in place and vise versa.

    The whole setup looks pretty neat. Do you think the bug net would handle the snake issue?

    The trees make me think that is flood waters vs. a swamp (not that it makes a lot of difference).

    Here's a previous post of a hang over water...http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ighlight=kayak
