Presentation:<\/h2>\n

I like sleep in a hamac<\/strong>. I recon I\u2019ve always known them. The first one I saw was more than 10 years ago when I was scoot. The oldest of our band built one himself with around 20 cords linked together by lots of knots. I was fascinated to see a way to sleep snugly between two trees with something whose weights almost nothing!<\/p>\n

After this guy, it was my dad who bought one. After few years under the dust in the attic, it found a place in my tree house to sleep the afternoon or even during a warm summer night.
\nHowever this solution is few considered by travellers, a tent and a mattress being more popular. Although a hamac has many advantages when it is well thought!<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact: During my last Road trip between Perth and Broome, I slept in 14 nights for 17 days<\/strong>, my tent taking its place only when I couldn\u2019t fix my hamac or because I missed to set up it.<\/p>\n

The hamac I use from 4 years is made with <\/strong>skydiving material on which is sewed a mosquito net<\/strong><\/span>. You go inside thanks to a zip.<\/p>\n

Advantages:<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wheight<\/strong>: Hamac\/Riggings\/ Snap Hooks: 1kilo<\/span>
\n Take less space<\/strong> that a tent and released it (no mattress)<\/span>
\n Comfort and<\/strong> mosquito net<\/span>
\nFast<\/strong> to Set up\/Down<\/span>
\n No condensation<\/strong><\/span>
\n You can see the night sky until to sleep<\/span>
\n Slow rocking movement<\/span><\/p>\n

Disadvantages<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>You must have 2 attach points<\/strong><\/span>
\n You need a little bit technic<\/strong> to go inside when you already are in your sleeping bag<\/span>
\n Limited movements<\/strong><\/span>
\n The air goes under your back and you can feel cold if your sleeping bag isn\u2019t thick or a good quality<\/span>
\n You are the first to see the sunrise<\/strong><\/span>
\n When it\u2019s raining you need a roof!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sleeping in a hamac is adviced in dry and warm country. However there are some points for a wider use:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Knacks:<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>_To prevent the wear and tear of the rigging (friction on the trees or other materials to set up the hamac), I put these one into an air chamber<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

_A tarp<\/strong> fixed along its diagonal, 40 cm over the hamac provide you a roof, protect you against the rain and the wind and keep the body warm<\/strong> at the same time. But there will be condensation under the tarp.<\/p>\n

_If you want bring your hamac in countries where the nights are cold, you can sew a laid under it<\/strong> but your hamac will be heavier and the gain of warm is weak. A thicker sleeping bag is a better solution.<\/p>\n
