Agree! I wouldn’t have it any other way either.

Nice set up, great gear, and looks inviting. ‘‘Tis the season, finally.

As do I. I can’t imagine ever going back. I’ve still been working through suspensions to find one I love and I think I’ve finally settled on the simple beckett hitch using dyneema straps from RBTR.

I want one in the house. Best sleep ever.

We don’t get out often, in fact the other week was the first trip in a long time.  It was super cold and I ended up in the tent with the kids and had to abandon my hammock to keep them warm.  I slept horrible.  The biggest problem I have is pads, they used foam pads and they were not warm enough for me.  Also not comfortable at all.  About 3am I gave up and got the fire going.  The hammock is just so comfortable and I hate trying to sleep on the ground.

I suppose if I invested in an expensive wide warm pad I might sleep ok in the tent.  The other problem I have with pads is my arms fall off the sides, then my shoulders fall asleep.  lol  I know I’m a mess.

Invest in hammocks for the kids!!

@dirtbag   They do have them.  Next trip they will be in their hammocks too.  I thought the tent would be easier for them this time and it worked fine for them.  We are going new years eve and should be better prepared.
