Hello all, my name is Brandon, I'm a Navy vet and I'm long winded. I'm relatively new to Hanging, but I've been doing the whole product review thing for months. I became interesting in hanging as an alternative bedding method to tents, which I've always thought kind of sucked, in response to my love and desire to go kayaking on longer touring trips. In a kayak, bulk is more important than weight and a hanging setup, everything included, is about as bulky as the tent I own, and that doesn't include the sleeping bag and pad or anything, and also all the hanging gear is nice and fluffy, without any rigid parts which makes it that much more of a godsend to pack in the boat. Anyway, I got word that a friend of mine had a hammock that he was willing to let me borrow for a weekend to try it out. In all honesty, it was terrible, and I ended up crawling into the tent with my girlfriend in the middle of the night both nights, but the problem was that I was way too cold because I didn't have the proper padding/ quilt. However, I didn't let that experience dissuade me, and instead decided to make my current purchases. I've got my hammock up in the garage and spend hours out in it often, while I wait for a weekend that I can convince someone to go with me. I hope that I have learned enough from other people's recommendations that I don't make too many mistakes and can enjoy my hammock to it's fullest extent, and I'm hoping to be able to pass on things I've learned and will learn to other people, by word-of-mouth, reviews, and videos.
