Hi all,
I'm a frequent day hiker and rare tent camper who would like to do more overnighting, but with a bad back, it's always a physical sacrifice. I require OTC pain killers during and after, and a few days recovery, even to get back to my "Normal" pain level.
Due to sooo many low back pain sufferers saying good things about hammocks, I am looking into this. I have just a leisure hammock right now (Hobo Hammock) that I've laid in for reading/napping a few times and it's comfortable for that purpose, but I expect it would probably not do well for an overnight.
I am a side sleeper (left side), on the plump side (female, 5.5, 187#), and sleep cold (especially my feet). Just looked at the Warbonnets - blackbird would probably be fine for my size, but I love the features of the updated XLC (as little as I know about hammocks) - both sides zipper, tieouts in numerous configs., shelf, footbox... but I wonder if something this tall would be TOO big for me? Even my little hobo hammock (though it is a double) seems to practically engulf me without me trying
I'm also looking for a series of videos. I already subscribe to (and will be looking more closely at) Shugmery and the Ultimate Hang guy.. any other suggestions of regular hammockers that do good videos? Looking for a variety.. reviews, basics, more intermediate tips and tricks.. I'm on a learning kick
Thanks!
