Memroial Day weekend at our Cottage in the Finger Lakes. Glad I tossed the HH in the truck to play with. It was stuffy in the cottage the first night. Saturday I Got out the HH but found I was 10 feet too short between trees.
Hmmm waht to do, buy more rope? Looked under the seat and found my 3 ton comealong with 25' of 1/4 inch steel cable.
Just what I needed.
Took some playing around, and by the time I was done both the comealong and the other end of the hammock were 8-10 feet high in the trees. I had to ratchet it tight several times, but it worked.
Night 1 - Except for a 3AM pee break, I actually slept on my back all night long with no issues (Side sleeper) and no need to roll over even once.(I always toss and turn all night long).
Night 2- Gentle rain - It was incredible. R-R-R-r-r-r-rock me to sleep mama!!!!!!!
I haven't slept this well since the lat time I took Ambien CR. Wow - Now sleeping on the ground seems so primitive...:-?
'Course I had to endure all sorts os stupid jokes from family and neighbors about needed a 3 ton comealong to hold me in my hammock.:D
Welcome me into the fold.....I am a Hammocker now!!!!!!
