Last night I did a trial run of a new backpacking friendly spreader pole for my hammock. The intent is to be able to camp in the canopy, but this was a dry run at ground level.
Pictures found here.
It was a unique night, which I loved. The one end of the hammock haning from the rope was able to sway back and forth and would last several minutes once disturbed. Since the other end of the rope was so high in the tree, when a breeze came along and swayed the tree that would kick off the hammock swing. I was rocked all night long.
There's no rain protection (yet), but I try to get away without a tarp as often as possible anyway. Same with bug net.
