The "proper" way to sleep in a hammock is DIAGONALLY! Your body then stretches it out and there's is no curve as if you were to sleep longwise. I grew up in Venezuela and that's the traditional way. I bought the Hennessy Hammock last year and have yet to use it as it's a no-no in state parks - even though I spent an extra $10 for the "tree huggers" (they are now standard, I believe. I wish there was a way to use it as a tent. I wanted to be able to incorporate tent poles but haven't found a way. If someone has, please advise. If you go to www.hennessyhammocks.com someone used their trecking poles as "trees" and got it to be self-supporting - also used as a chair. sandy kramer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
