[Please remove all old content that is not pertinent to your reply including old headers and footers. It's list policy.... this post was modified to meet policy] I second and third the Hennessy Hammock for kayak camping. 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.

Several people on the West Coast Paddlers site swear by these hammocks. I'm going to have to get one I think. They are also very fond of a Swedish alcohol cookset by Trangia (which has a gas burner available). That many paddlers can't be completely wrong about something so I'm going to have to look hard at that too. Kruger is off with those guys now (in the cold - it was under 30 again this morning) and we'll see what he thinks when he gets back. > > > There's a couple shots of the hammock in this trip album... > > http://picasaweb.google.com/parkscarey/WhitehorseKeyCamping > > You mentioned "cloud streets" on your website and I was intrigued. The only people who regularly use the term (and the streets) are sailplane (glider) pilots. I didn't know anyone else used it. The amazing thing about cloud streets is that they are so common; when there are cumulus clouds, there will be cloud streets almost certainly. When you are soaring around here in the summer you can often just pick a direction and then fly the cloud streets porpoising along (flying fast but descending between clouds, then pulling back and slowing down to get lift when under them).
