    I always have a hammock in my ruck/pack. I learned quickly while in HI, that there are buggers that have a mighty sting..... crawling around on that ground..... a millipede is no fun at o'dark thirty, let alone a boar walking through your AO. ;)

    There have been quite a few mentions of hammocks thru the years, and "search" turned up a whole list of places where they are discussed.

    Yes, i also carry a hammock in my pack while hunting. I will sometimes use it as a hanging chair while sniping squirrel, or deer. I have a matching one in my work truck, for emergencies, mechanical malfunction, or lunch break.[​IMG] IMG_20150704_131331450_HDR.

    Hammocks keep you off the ground which can be highly important. A hammock helps keep down illness and diseases.

    For humor: The Army's 1960s issue Jungle Hammock had a waterproof bottom. Yep, they filled up in the rain. :)

    Hammock, tarp & bugnet are essential equipment.
