vlog: Sleeping in the Hammock

I had some problems with insects over the weekend while sleeping in my hammock. The hammock is freaking awesome, if you've never spent a few nights swinging in the breeze I highly recommend it. It's great for travel because it pack so small, and keeps you off the wet, rocky ground. This trip was my first time using it, and I can't wait to use it again.

@FernandoAcastro1 Thanks amigo glad you enjoyed them. I was out filming more today, and have already posted a new one. Now that your caught up it wont be so time consuming to stay updated. I'm not always calm and peaceful, but I try to be.

I used a the bike on the kickstand side and almost any thing else that was stable. It had to be really tight though because the bike is not that tall. Just a suggestion. Love the hammock though. Yours is waay nicer than mine.

@dyna98rider Yeah I might try that next time, it would make for some great photos anyway. Check out ENO hammocks. Pricey, but they are nice. The one in the video is the ENO DoubleNest, big enough for 2 people. Makes it great for just one person, so much room to stretch out. I did a write about them on my blog.

@BillyDillweed This is an ENO hammock and they have all sorts of accessories for them. Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner I would have pointed you in the right direction.

@BillyDillweed

Please disregard my message, folks. I figured it out.

@dtmbcorp

I second that. I'd also like to know more about the mosquito net. I had heard about the crescent-shaped mossie nets for use with hammocks but I don't know where to get one.

@RobKelly63 I was watching this video and thinking...He reminds me of a combination of Les Stroud from Survivorman and RobKelly63 from Youtube....Hahaha

@dahveed284 I actually had to look around for a spot, and I was in the jungle. I thought about trying to hang it between 2 motorcycles, but I'm sure it would be to low. But there may be a way to get on motorcycle, and one tree to work.

I've been wanting to give a hammock a try for a while. The problem for me is sometimes its hard finding places with trees or poles to use. In the desert SW, its kind of hit or miss on the tree availability. I like the idea of not being on the ground. I get tired of crawling in and out of tents.
