slaughtered meatAfter we slaughter them there is no nap. There is only work. We owe a responsibility to the animal not to waste it, but to immediately process it and get it out of the woods and into an ice chest. Once we do that then we can sleep. I think he is referring to sleeping on it prior to making the kill.sleep on something that you've cut up dead animals on
Here is an idea for the tarp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6h0r4d9HfU. http://www.survival-solutions.com/o-...--details.html
You can get by with a net hammock, but I have used them previously on my hunting trips for midday naps and they offer minimal utility and comfort. My experience has been that they are cold due to the net exsanguinating the blood from my bottom side more efficiently than a solid material hammock. All hammocks do this, but a net hammock obtains a special sadistic satisfaction in doing it. Carry the few extra ounces of a material hammock and enjoy that noon nap. Heck, at my age that's the best part of my hunt! I currently use my old gateway hammock that I haven't used in years, my little Grand Trunk. It's good enough for an hour or two nap, packs down well into my pack, including its suspension. It will make do for now, but I am on the hunt for a longer ultralight hammock to replace it, lighter, but longer to achieve greater comfort.
As for the meat ground cloth: Take a large contractor's garbage bag. It offers multiple uses, has more utility. The biggest of them can be used as a makeshift bivy sack, or awesome poncho. Good Hunting! Please pass on the legacy of this most basic American heritage!
