I was checking out alcohol stove designs and ran across some of Shug’s videos which led me to his hammock videos. That got the thought process rolling. The next backpacking trip I took was with a few people I didn’t know well and one of them had a hammock setup. Out of the entire group only I and my son along with the hammock user stayed warm and dry. Needless to say I was intrigued and he was gracious enough to answer some of my questions. That was a few years ago. Now I can hardly stomach the thought of tent camping. For me, I don’t sleep real well anywhere, but at least I can have increased predictability using a hammock which is a huge benefit. The mother lode of all changes for me was the underquilt. Just awesome.
