If this doesn't convince you that hammock are great for sleeping, nothing will!

Raiffnuke,

You've gotta at least be getting points with mom for the "nap angle" on hammock gear justification.

She may be a monster now but remember, they're two till their five.

Pete, why don't you rock me to sleep when we are backpacking??

Awesome video brother, she is too adorable!

That is very true...on both accounts. She has given me the excuse to buy more DIY supplies, and she has a hammock and Black Rock Clone hat of her own now.

I could ask you the same thing...you never rock me to sleep either!

Thanks, she is a cutie and wonders when she will see you again.

So, she's a Monster Cutie-pie? Ok, I'll go with that answer.

Good for you brother!

Sure, I will agree with that. She loves Elmo and how else would you describe him?

She is really great and she was a hanger before she was 2 years old. She is definitely on the right track!

Awesome video. I wish I could get my daughter to slow down enough to hang out in the hammock. A few minutes is all she can take then she's ready to run and play. I'm planning to make her a DIY hammock soon. Hopefully in a year or two she'll be ready for her first overnight.

She is mostly the same way, but as long as I keep rocking her in the hammock, she is content to stay. She has stayed in there for as much as a half hour before she wanted to run and play some more. She sure does get excited when she sees me setting up a hammock though!

That's great that you've got that vision for her.

Several years ago, when my older daughters were that age, I had the vision of us all getting into the woods, hiking, climbing mountains as a family. Fast forward to today, and that vision has been fulfilled.

I became a hanger a year ago, and had a similar vision for that avenue of enjoyment. Later this month, I send off my 19-year old to Colorado for the summer...with hammock!

Very nice!

Here is to hoping the vision parents have for their children come true.
