    Cocoon camping

    I was showing a friend I had not seen for a while some of my pics from different trips this year (need to make a trip report at some point). He looked at a picture of my hammock set up with UQ on and asked ‘is that a bugnet?’. When I said yes he replied that what I did was not hammock camping but ‘cocoon camping’.

    maybe true.

    An apt analogy, IMO.

    More than a few times, during a rainy summer night I have thought how satisfying — and just downright 'cool' — it is that I am hanging high and dry, comfortable and protected from bugs by about 3lbs of gear.
