    First Hammock Camping Experience, Dorian's first Adventure



    What A trip. Fished Saturday. The weather was nasty on Sunday so I hung out in the hammock: reading, napping, and enjoying it for a change.
    Discovered that that that one "magic" blanket that was made for you by an older relative that you can't explain its warmth, works in a pinch as a butt warmer.
    Used my Dorian Chest warmer (the dog) as well. Was mighty y toasty, even when the guy in the tent woke up chilly.

    Dorian found a hook and enjoyed having his own place to recover for a few hours. Now that I am back at home I have it setup and its his favorite place to lounge.

    Was good to get out and use the gear and make a list of everything I didn't have covered.

    Sounds like a blast despite the rain.

    Saturday was nice, but everytime I got around to go fishing it would start back up so I called it by 10 and enjoyed semi-porch mode.
    Dorian is loving it.

    Sitting out the rain under a tarp is one of the great joys in life. Looks like you two had a great trip!
