It's more a bivy than a hammock in such a setup - probably complete suspension on the poles isn't possible.

I would do that, if there is enough cargo room in a kayk - using hammock only when it is really necessary. You can't "live" in a hammock like you do this in a tent, where you can keep all your gear and even a folding kayak (in a 2-person tent) before your assemble it, and also eat, read etc. This guy, Sgt Rock, demonstrates that nearly all this can be done in a hammock as well - I donno... Tent is way more convenient if you have enough space to set it. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
