    Smile First time hang

    Hung my rig up for the first time yesterday in the back yard. Took some time but I got it up,spent the night in it temperature got down around 23* and I got the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Can’t wait to get out in the woods for a few nights.😀

    Congrats on your first successful hang. What insulation are you using?

    AWESOME..... Keep up with the backyard testing to fully understand how your system works in all conditions (better to find the parameters in the backyard than out in the woods) plus allows you to play and gain more experience in setup adjustments and that sort of stuff.
    Warning though is the hammock may become your full time bed....hahahhaaa

    Well I did tell the wife that I was going to put some hooks in the bedroom. I never saw the look she gave me before.

    Congrats on the successful test! I do believe I have seen the same look from my mum when I said the exact same thing lol.
    When I explained to her I wanted to put the bed in the guest bedroom downstairs let's just say she was not amused. The compromise is I may get a hammock stand lol.
