Question by NaturesPride: Does sleeping in a hammock require a warmer sleeping bag?
Does sleeping in a Hennessy hammock require a warmer sleeping bag than sleeping in a tent?
If I plan on buying a 20F sleeping bag, what is the equivalent in a Hennessy hammock? The 0F sleeping bags are more expensive and heavy, so I'm hoping I don't have to get something so warm.

Do you realize why the hammock chairs are so popular with people seeking leisure and relaxation? It is because the chair cradles your entire body and you swing gently, in a relaxed way enjoying the mild breeze blowing. Even better, when you sit down in normal posture, the hammock chair gently wraps around you creating a sense of comfort and safety in your mind.
Flexibility is the essence
Chairs are chairs and meant for sitting, you may observe. However you may not be at ease will all types of chairs. Solid chairs can be used in only one way, for sitting. The keyword for hammock chairs or for that matter all types of hammocks is

Can I bury a few feet of two 4x4's in the ground and hang my hammock on it instead of getting or building a big hammock stand? We just moved and have no good trees for the hammock.

Question by mugmuf: What is a good Lightweight camping hammock?
I am looking for a lightweight camping hammock that includes rain protection built into the tent. I do not want to spend 100s either. I saw one for 300 dollars and that is too much. Also, I am looking for a lightweight backpack. Optimally both would be compact and lightweight. I do not know much about brands, functions, and types. Please help.

The big problem with the hammock is when there are no trees and you don't have big enough hiking sticks your not going to like the results especially at above tree line in the winter months.
I would prefer a free standing like this.

I know it comes in heavy at 5lbs but winter camping is that this will keep you dry and its light enough without the fly if your trip will have good weather.

Answer by am38 yeah i'm not sure a GP will climb up into a hammock. But if you had a sturdy ladder, I guess you could try.
Just make it like a rat one, but stronger. A square or rectangle of cloth (felt, etc) Hem the edges to make it stronger. Put a hole in each corner (might pay with a heavy GP to clip on those little round metal donut shaped things that reinforce holes. Depenidng on how high off the ground you want it, you will prob need to tie some cord through the holes to make loops. Then clip a metal clip onto the end of your cord loops and use the metal clips to clip onto the top fo the cage.
If that doesn't make sense, go to a pet shop and look at a professionally made one. They are very easy to copy.
