Thread: Hammock Recomendations

Used them heaps in SEA and Africa but came back here and boy they can be cold, even in summer, without a mat under you. A simple closed cell mat is all you need, but as others have said, sleep diagonally is the most comfortable way to go, and think about putting string ties on the corners of the sleeping mat, as they tend to walk out from under you and you wake up half way through the night with a frozen arse or shoulder.

Yep, my experience the same. Tie it tight so not much sag in the middle. Bloody cold unless you put a mat in. My klymit blow up fits in good and makes a huge difference. Need a strip of Velcro or sew in strip to stop mat walking out from under you. Can wrap sides right up over you but still need a fly if damp
