Chameleon Hammock set up on ground>>>>

[Shug]

So you'd just be doing a one tree hang out in the field with this setup?

Nope....like in the picture. A no-tree set-up. Hammock on ground as bivy.

No trees, but at least you're still in a hammock ( even if it is on the ground) and not a t**t. I've been curious about how I could do something like that, and now thanks to Shug I know. Good luck on your trip sir.

Will definitely be filing this set-up away in the ol' noggin, should the need ever arise! Thanks again, Shug.

Thanks. Will be a right good challenging trip.

Not my original idea to set it up that way. Ed Speer did similar way back in the early days. But always good to prep it and let others see it is a viable option.

Thanks shug. Before I took up hanging, I was a tarp buy ground dweller. I have intended to do the same using the chameleon as a bivy in the event I am forced to ground. Hadnt thoought about stretching it out though....appreciate the pics. Been meditating on the bottom insulation and thought about just throwing in zlite as a pack pad/sit pad in my ohm2. Let us know how it works out.

Did this once with my Skeeter Beeter, but I didn't lift up my ends to the trek poles. That is a better set up than what I did. I piled some leaves up for added comfort, spread out the hammock, used the shock chord that holds up the net between the trek poles and staked them down with the tarp tie-outs. The ends of the hammock mostly layed in the dirt with me. Worm-like you ask, no...more a catapillar in a Grand Trunk coccune. Think the spelling on that last word kicked my butt.

I'm going to try your set up and see what I can do.

Hey Shug,

Did you ever try this with the WB RidgeRunner? I don't own a bridge hammock, but thought that might be a good style to have as a makeshift big bivy.

You do seem rather secure...
