Not With My Peeing Technique

So glad I still sleep through the night. Bottom entry on the Hennessy hammocks also afforded an evacuation point.

“Bottom entry on the Hennessy hammocks also afforded an evacuation point“.

Very good.

( in Latin to evacuate meant to empty the bowels)

I know.

Like the guy on the radio always says about the contests: Void where prohibited.

REI has a very good price on a Emo Sub 7. I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger. I already have a tarp that will work hammock or ground.

Thanks Ken – You’re always good for a laugh.

MJH – Once you try a hammock you’re not likely to go back to the ground unless you’re backpacking where you can’t hang.  I’m in Pennsylvania and I can hammock anywhere.  A couple of my buddies, safely behind their sil-nylon fortress, call my hammock a “bear burrito.”  I’d still much prefer to see something coming and know what it is…

If you recall, you gave me some advice about hiking the Allegheny Front Trail and while on that I realized how useful a hammock would be.  The campsites along the Red Mosh part of the trail basically didn’t have any flat space that wasn’t right next to the trail.  I don’t like that just for privacy reasons, in addition to a desire to follow the rule about being a certain distance from water and the trail.  A hammock would have made it easy.

But probably it will be next year before I can make a transition.  I’ve spent too much on gear this year already and I don’t think I’ll be able to get out before it gets cold.  I’d rather see if I like it before I buy an underquilt and other cold weather accessories.
