I want to be clear, I already own an SMR Pares, a Go Hammock, and just ordered a Dutchware gear netless hammock. So I have plenty of good stuff, this is more about cheaper 'expendable' kind of stuff because I do have to go to some scetchy places and if I get my gear stolen, I'd rather it not be the good stuff.
I am putting together a random unplanned camping bag / get home bag that I want to keep exclusively in my car. My concern is that I don't really know enough about the materials that these are made of. So here's the question.
For the sake of this I'm going to use a skeeter beater (?) hammock and blue walmart tarp as the 'setup' for this. If different outcomes/rules apply to other types of hammock and tarps then please let me know, but as a baseline lets use this setup.
The backpack I am putting together I want to keep in my trunk and where I live gets up to 115 some times, then I drive over to the coast and you hit a lot of lows. My concern is that the constant going from one temp to another or even just being in the heat a lot is going to compromise the hammock and tarps integrity, like make the blue tarp brittle or weaken the hammock (Falling through one would not be a happy)
Is there any recommendations for specific hammocks or tarps that can handle being thrown into a bag and sit in heat for an entire year with out having issues?
Yeah, I'm still cautious about hanging in a hammock, not sure why I feel so much anxiety about it, but.. yeah. Anyway, thanks again for your input
