Really wanna try a hammock...

[JBRanger]

Oh sorry. A full report is definitely due.

I'm loving my hammock. I've used it on several trips now. Coldest night was the last trip and that was high 40's. I have a poncho liner as an UQ and it works well to about 50. I truly need a warmer UQ, rather maybe a better fitting UQ. The fit is just as important as the rest of it. If you have ANY air gaps you will get a cold spot.

I'm currently gathering material for a winter UQ. It's looking like winter is approaching quickly so I better get to it.

All in all, extremely comfortable, once you get used to it and find your "sweet spot".

An underquilt is something I may have to look into for a DIY project. I wonder if Zelph will ever have a review of his Blackbird?

I missed my chance of trying it out in warm weather The cold is upon us and would never get to sleep without being toasty warm I'll see if I can make something work inside my greenhouse to support it. In the middle of winter I'll be hanging in the sunshine

or you could just put a couple large eye-screws on each side of your den and watch the ballgame while you are hanging in total comfort!

I know I've seen posts on the net for 2x4 "hammock stands"..that look good and are functional to boot!Maybe you should try the blackbird in your greenhouse...I doubt it'll ever see the great outdoors...

There are hollow tube steel hammock stands for "backyard hammocks" I have considered.

I'm going to work something out, maybe go south, way south

That's easy, I like easy............great idea I can then adapt the 2" tubing into my flu pipe

Travel with a hammock which has under quilt and try to use a hammock trap to get some relief from any cold and rainy condition.

You mean a hammock tarp. My wife and I will be testing a new tarp in the next few days. going to a local private park for a big campout gathering.
