Coming from someone who never could sleep in a hammock this one caught my attention.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sierra-madre/ninox-the-flatlay-hammock
I wonder if Megan will let me put up a hammock in the bedroom?
As you're someone who doesn't live in the warmest of climates, be aware that the wind whistling under your arse (I said under, not from ) really saps the heat from the compressed sleeping bag insulation.
I'm a big hammock fan.....literally and figuratively As somebody that needs a double bed for myself and could do with it a bit longer so my feet don't hang off, a hammock is.......by a country mile......the most comfortable I've slept outside.Convection is a fact, even in warm climates like ours I've had miserable nights, the last time being during our hike in May. First night froze in the hammock, 2nd and 3rd night "slept" on the ground, the last night I had somewhere to hang the hammock again and had the presence of mind to line it with the emergency blanket......slept like a log.....

Looking at your photos I can hardly imagine finding trees would be an issue!Namibia, for the most part, is another matter........I think I can count on one hand the number of times my hammock was actually hung from a tree
Neh... you’re off the ground, but snakes can still climb trees
