Thread: Show us your camping set up

Here is my camping setup, this year for Easter at Inskip Pt.



A hammock and all my gear.

Cheers!

Another hammock-camper! Good man!

I've got my Silnylon fabric (1.3oz silicone-impregnated ripstop nylon) finally on its way to my house (manufacturer's backorder has held it up for weeks). With it I'll be making a 10'x10' tarp. In the meantime, I've had to use a plastic tarp over my hammock.

Here's how I was set up last weekend with our Boy Scouts:






Trees were way too close together, and quite huge! But it worked well. Perfectly comfortable down to a light frost the first night and 5*C the second night.

No need for my mozzie net this time of year (very early spring here), so that stayed home. It basically clips to the tarp guyline to hold if off me and dangles around the outside of the hammock using 4 little sacks in which I can put a few pebbles to weight it down a bit. Biting bugs have never been so bad I've needed a fully enclosed net like yours, but would certainly go to one if they were!

This is our set up. It is a huge difference to the camper trailer we used to have. The disco doesnt mind towing it either

Good man!

That setup looks good! I like the hammock drawn quite tight, and it tends to pull the trees together (not going to hapen in your case!!). I found that for the top rope, good quality 5mm dynamic climbing rope works well, as it is beautiful to use and has stretch to it.

The mosquito net is simply two pieces of 2mx4m rough fly mesh, and a half dozen clothes pegs. Damn cheap. If i didnt have it, I would have likely died of blood loss through the night. Inskip is a coastal area with alot of flying creatures.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,
