If it's rocky or whatever, or like here, if there is shade there's also a lot of undergrowth, you can hang up off the ground above the lumps. If it's hot, nothing is cooler. I would go into the tents of others to change if there were too many people wandering around camp to know everyone is on the other side of my tarp and just hate how stuffy it is. That said, on a cold night being on the ground can be warmer, if less comfy. If there's flying bugs or crawlies it's good to be above it all. There's a couple shots of the hammock in this trip album... http://picasaweb.google.com/parkscarey/WhitehorseKeyCamping Cheers, Carey -----Original Message----- From: Tord S.

Normally we still bring our three-person tent, to keep all the stuff in during the night, or when we need some privacy (lovemaking in a hammock ain't for us over 50, no way!). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
