What you reckon ? They look pretty good to me, no water running through the bivvy with these.

Very good idea, it's like a spider web home for humans , very nice

Australia is home to the worlds deadliest spiders. I guess its a case of if you can't beat them, join them.

Or live over here and leave them to you to sort out

Aye, tensile hammocks have around for a while. Not very good though

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

Is there a hobbit or a dwarf in there?

That's no way to speak about our Derbyshire brethren

Might be an optical illusion. The black part is the hammock which is 11 feet long, the brown bit is a 6 foot underquilt and good to -15*c

Don't think I could sleep in one of those, I have to be able to sleep on my side and they look like it's a sleep on your back job ?

[sunndog]

You'd be surprised rod, i sleep on my front or side in bed but on my back in hammocks are the best sleep i get anywhere. with down filled insulation its like being set in warm fluffy jelly


i'll send you one if you want, perfect for a corner of the workshop
