I realise this is an old video, but, do you still use this hammock? I have a similar one, with no double bottom, so wondering how you find this when hiking in cold weather?

Cheers

What setup would you use for winter camping? Is the tarp still a good option?

[wall2rockclimber]

i would definatly use a tarp in winter, as you will see in my winter videos i will do in the winter months. good tip though dont put it close to the fire in the leanto type configuration it melts with the tinyest spark use a stronger tarp like the one that dave canterbury uses as part of his versa shelter on wilderness outfitters.

hello mate,

i think they can be for some?

you have to find a taughtness thats good for you. i dont like mine to tight, i have it what i call "half loose" but i fully recommend this system

Repeating erasmus4's question, exactly which trekmates mozzi net is it? As there is 5 on their website.

Cheers Mate

is the base of that hammock water proof?

[avonturiersanne]

Which dd hammock is that?

[Lkonae]

Lol, never been in a hammock.

Very nice setup! Cannot beat Hammock camping! Saves the back and body from the stress the ground can deliver to it after a few weeks on the trail. Good video.

Hi Mike

Could you please specify which model from Treakmate mosquito net is?

Excellent videos by the way

Thanks
