My first night in a hammock

Fine, get out of a warm hammock and step 'wherever' in the dark and then get your insulation all warm again.
Or, unzip the net, reach down and grab a bottle off the ground .....

yeah, it definitely makes sense, i guess the idea of P bottles just takes me back to my first job working at a truck-stop picking up trash in the parking lot.

What's this? Your signature.

it's rosie!

Oh. Ok.

Oh, truck stop .... Don't use others bottles, ever.

I wish the average wilderness trip report was as enjoyable to read as this one!

My wife still looks at me funny when I sling the hammock up in the backyard. It's the best way to test out new gear. Glad it went well for ya. Now you're hooked on hanging.

You will like better if you can fix that ridge line

My wife already thought I was juvenile. Now she can prove it!

Thank you for a great read. I loved the part about ventilating after wrestling with the alligator. It would take a heck of a top quilt to make me give up my sleeping bag, even though I always have to ventilate.
