    I sleep on the ground. There aren't a lot of trees where I usually go. I've been looking at hammocks for use elsewhere, but I'm not sure I would like it.

    I've "cuddled" in a hammock before now. I assure you, it's not that comfy

    At the R.V. at the weekend I had the best nights sleeps I have had in months I slept through from 23:00 till about 07:00 not getting up once Since I have been back to a normal bed I havent slept through one night without being up in pain most of the night

    All I can say is I love my hammock and I'm looking at getting it setup at home to sleep in permenantly

    You're quite right, laying on your front can't be done in a hammock, unless you are a gymnast or a contortionist

    As a kid I used to sleep in a hammock and always had a great nights kip. Not the most practical sleeping option when you introduce women and alcohol into the equation though!

    I'm keeping my options open. I have my tiny Gelert Solo tent and a DD Scout Hammock.


    And, I've recently ordered an ex army basha and a Polish Army sleeping mat

    So I can carry on tenting, try my hand at swinging or give the basha and a bedroll a go.

    Now that looks like a comfy bed roll . I'm surprised Martin hasn't swapped his double divan for one

    Thinking about it some people turned up with a lot of quilts at the R.V. LOL

    That bed roll does look nice though

    I got drunk last year and had no probs in my hammock I havent tried it out yet with a girl in the hammock but I think it could work Maybe we need some one to do a test and write a review
