Through trial and error, I finally found the best way to hang a hammock and to lay in a hammock.This video is how to hang a hammock and how to properly lay in a hammock.

How to Hang a Hammock Tarp / Secrets to the ridgeline
One of the biggest issues with hammock camping is finding a way to stay protected from the elements like rain, snow, sun, and the wind. When it comes to these weather conditions. One of the most important pieces of gear to have is the tarp.
In this updated episode. We are going to look at how to set up your tarp by using a ridgeline. There are basically two types that are used to hang your tarp. I am going to show you how to use them and more.
ZING-IT: ( )
PARACORD: ( )
CONTINUOUS RIDGELINE WITH HARDWARE: ( )
RIDGELINE HARDWARE: Stingerz, wasp, Soft Shackles, Tato Tarp Connectors, and Zing-it. ( )
Setting up a hammock on the ground
If you are on a backpacking trip. You have been hiking all day. You finally get to the designated campsite. And realize. There are no trees to hang the hammock. You will then be left with three options. You can continue to hike to the next campsite. You could bushwhack it. Or you could set up the hammock on the ground.
In this episode. we are going to look at the different ways to to set up a hammock on the ground.

How (and why!) to use a sleeping pad in a hammock
Yes, it's time to throw away your expensive underquilt for hammock camping. Just kidding! That being said I pretty much use a sleeping or camping pad almost exclusively in a hammock. Two big reasons why you might want to consider it are for cost savings and for flexibility in case you have to go to the ground. In this video I show you how to maneuver with the camping pad in the single layer hammock and how to adjust so that you get an optimal lay.
THING I FORGOT: Of course, all this is slightly easier with a double layer hammock. You can just put a sleeping pad in between the layers. Some people even put velcro or rubberized sticky tabs on their hammock/sleeping pad to stop it from moving around as much.

Is a hammock tent worth it? Haven Tent review #campinggear
Pros vs cons of hammock camping ⤵️
I have the Heven tent with the ultralight rainfly. Opinions are my own. Not spon.
PROS
• Lays flat and comes with an extra wide insulated sleeping pad (4 R value)
• Great for side sleepers and I assume anyone with knee or back pain who can’t crawl into a tent
• It's relatively affordable for a sleep system at $315 USD (tent+pad)
• Rain tarp is highly adjustable and can close from inside the hammock if the weather takes a turn
• If there's no trees around you can pitch it on the ground as a Bivy using trekking poles or sticks
CONSiderations
• Can't fit large dogs (sorry Kyro)
• It is 6 lbs 8oz (which is a pound or 2 heavier than my backpacking sleep system setup
• You can keep your bag inside but it was more comfortable outside under the tarp
•Works best with included mattress, the Nemo insulated tensor sleeping pad I have didn’t work because the sides caved in
• Make sure your head side is hung higher than the feet side and your butt is in the middle so your not slanted downwards
Hammock / Staying warm / on a budget / How to use a inflatable and a closed foam pad in the hammock
Thinking about trying a hammock to replace the tent. But you don't want to spend a lot of money to see if hammock camping is going to work for you. In this episode. We are going to look at ways to stay warm underneath you. Which is one of the challenges of camping with a hammock.

Q&A / Episode #1 / Why not a sleeping bag / Hammock Camping
Since starting this channel. I have been getting a lot of questions. Mainly about the hammock and the tarp. For a while now. I have been thinking about doing a Q&A series. I believe it is easier to learn something when someone shows you while talking about it. Then to just text it.
So the plan is to take some questions in the comment section. And try to answer them the best that I can.
