    Hi from the UK

    Hi all,

    I've been lurking for a while, still trying to get used to sleeping in hammocks (side sleeper), I've been on several multi day trips around Europe with a hammock, and despite many a sleepless night I'm convinced it's the way forward. I've bought and sold on more hammocks than I'd like to admit in my search for the perfect set-up for me but I think I've finally settled on a Warbonnet Traveller 10' with the Warbonnet Travel Net and Travel Sock, unzipping my hammock to adjust my underquilt got old quick on a mozzie infested Sweden trip. So now I've committed myself to the cause I thought I'd say hello and see what I can contribute here.

    Cheers,
    Phil

    Welcome to the forums. You should give the Warbonnet Ridgerunner a try since you are a side sleeper. It's not the easiest but it's more doable than the gathered end hammocks for me.

    Mountain views are good for the soul....& getting to them is good for my waistline.

    Welcome Phil! I'm an American ex-pat, now living in the UK. I was recently hammock camping in Sweden as well, on the Kungsleden trail up in Lapland. Luckily missed the mosquitoes! I posted a trip report here on HF. Where in Sweden did you go?
