Your local pub is the Blue Oyster Bar?
Most men refuse to admit to that on an internet forum. If anything its 16 inches of prehensile love muscle. Except when they are pretending to be a little girl and its the women who are claiming to be men.
Me? I stick strictly to the truth. I'm a demon from outer space with great tentacles.

You'd still have to sleep on a mat of some kind or you would freeze your ass off, dunno how easy it is to keep a mat under you while in one of those things
not exactly backpacking gear either
I don't use bivvy bags though. Nasty horrible little things
Give me my gathered end hammocks any day

That looks a great bit of kit. Do you have a link to where to get them?
thanks
Bob
