I've been dreaming of a Hilleberg tent (maybe one day
), but have been curious about hammocks for a while now. The other day, a workmate (ex-Canadian) brought his hammock (War Bonnet - Blackbird) to work and set it up in some trees. He showed me its features and let me have a test lay. Seemed really comfy, and has some great features. No worries about terrain (unless there're no trees, although can use as a bivvy bag in a pinch), works well for hot/cold weather, bloody light, small pack size (no poles), and also makes great chair/lounge. Damn sight cheaper than a Hilleberg too.
It's got me thinking.
