Hello all. I've been looking at the various types of storage options for inside and outside of the hammocks. One thing my wife and I missed in Alaska were more pockets for storage of gloves, socks, shirts, etc. We already had the outside mini hammock for the muddy boots/backpacks and such, but really wanted something else for the inside. In the winter we do not use the side pulls at all, so we wanted something to parallel the ridgeline instead of something outside like a saddlebag on each side. I sewed up some pocket mesh (for strength and breathability) for the head end to hold socks, gloves, head covers (wet/sweaty gear), measuring 16 inch long by 8 inch deep. Attached by prussics to the ridgeline it can be moved back and forth and even pushed all the way to the hammock end when not used. The foot end I decided to make a pocket 1.1 breathable nylon rectangle 36 inches long by 13 inches deep for everything from jackets, snow pants, etc. Both pockets have shock cord along the top edges to help keep the stuff inside. The foot pocket is attached with prussics also so it can slide back and forth also.
Everything fits without bumping into them even loaded up and both pockets can be pushed into the ends out of the way when not being used.
