    Smile I'm living the Dream....homeless!

    I got my Dream Hammock Sparrow in 2022, set it up in the backyard under the big white pine tree, and have been sleeping out ever since.
    I continue to be amazed at how comfortable it is.
    Occasionally I have to sleep in a bed and my sleep quality is miserable. Tossing and turning, arm going numb, pains and aches in the morning, sweating my buns off...cant seem to sleep on my back.

    When I get in my hammock, it's just....AHHHHHHHHH. In the winter, I have my winter cover zipped on.
    I toss and turn very little and most of my sleep is on my back.
    Double layer Sparrow with Airwave on the inside, I use a foam pad in between the layers in the winter, and have a "double-system" Simply Light Designs underquilt.
    I'm comfortable down to about 15 degrees. At ten degrees and under it's a bit uncomfortable.

    I wish I had discovered this sooner, but I'm glad I did at any rate.
    Got my tarp, my coffee table, coleman lanterns, coleman stove for morning coffee, phone charger, bookshelf and chair inside.

    Are you serious? You are on the same latitude as me, and not very far west. Can't imagine an out door existence. Even tonight it is 32 degrees. Everything freezes up solid for months.
    Since I retired, some times I stay awake all day, some times all night.

    Awesome news. I hope this one continues to serve you well.
    Things are warming up nicely in Ohio and I'll soon be able to move my hammock outside on warm nights.
    Sleep out all winter? Nah, I'm turning into a sissy as I get older.
