RE: Adventures in Pet Sitting - Ask Aunt Deb (Week 6)
LOL!
Have you ever slept a full night in a hammock? It is so comfortable.
I am a bushcrafter/off grid guy, I just cannot do much these days with my injuries so it is one way I can sort of "be" outdoors -- in the hammock and remain committed to a more offgrid/primitive lifestyle I prefer.
Not to mention the sheer comfort of it. I decided last year to up my game and basically slept outside in the yard, in my hammock most of the year. All summer and right into the winter when the 2 areas for thermal leaks could not be addressed but only when it got down to -10.
There are less pressure points in a hammock, for your body, once you try it for a nite or 2, you will see what I mean.
I guess in a way it is like laying in a womb sort of the way the 30 degree hang angle ~ cradles you and does not push back against your body, shoulders, etc. My back even feels better.
Nope, never slept in a hammock. From this description I might have to try it. Only I don't think I could do that degree of cold. I like the concept, tho, of getting your off-grid time worked in wherever you can. Good thinking! And, thanks for clearing that up.
