Hello folks, I am here to learn all the new (new to me) technology and ideas you have to offer in the way of off ground sleeping. I started out with a cheap nylon net style hammock in the mid to late 1980s to get off the ground when camping in the Red River Gorge. My friends and I would make multiple annual trips there for 3 season camping/hiking and they thought I was nuts trying to sleep off the ground. I now use a Snugpak jungle hammock without the bug net and either a camo poly tarp or a painted tyvek tarp as cover. I use 2 8 foot by 1 inch tow straps with looped ends and carabiners for support. I am interested in budget homemade underquilts and light weight tarps. I am sure it will take me weeks to wade though all the info in the posts here. I look forward to learning as much as I can! Any others from my part of the country please say hello!
