    Sleep Apnea and Hammock camping

    New here been hammock camping for a couple years now. Just wandering what those with sleep apnea do with their cpap machines when camping. I have been thinking of sewing pouches in the hammock to hold everything. Any better ideas out there?

    Hi sarge and welcome! For me I kind of suffered the first 2 years, not really getting good sleep. last week i ordered a snorerx and have tried it a few nights in the hammock in my basement and it seems to be working pretty well so far! i think you could talk to your dentist and see if you could get a mouthpiece for camping.

    Can you report back in a couple of months about the snorerx?

    I currently use a tentsile 2 man, it has lots of room, but is a tad heavy, so i am just switching my gear over to a GE hammock .... my plan is to sew in pockets/saddlebags to handle the battery and CPAP.

    I posted my CPAP/Battery setup on post link #2 above, on the second to last page.

    The Gear sling from DreamHammock in Hex70xl holds my old Everest CPAP with battery from the ridgeline. On my bridge hammock, I hang it t the head end outside the hammock.

    Battery power was a big peoblem for C.P.A.P. user in past discussions. Also peeping the hose warm to prevent "rain out" was discussed.

    It is my understanding mouth pieces work for some types of apnea, but not all.

    I don't take mine when I'm camping. I use a dental insert for snoring when I'm camping. It does the job at least temporarily.
