    Vehicle camping.... LITERALLY!!!!

    Man, didn't expect this from our buddy Sean Mulhall, is literally "How to set up a hammock inside your vehicle!!" Aka minivan in his case, I should be able to do the same in my 4Runner, but still, I expected the hammock to be outside the vehicle, attached at one end and the other on a tree or something. I've slept in my Runner before, set up a foam matress on the floor with blankets, wasn't too bad at all for my six foot long frame (was one of those preplanned drunken nights, and I wanted to prove to myself I could sleep in it!)

    Still, this takes the cake!!!

    I've had a few decent night's kip in a hammock IN MY 90!!!

    Diagonally, from a hole drilled in the inside rim on the drivers side rear, with a carabiner and a knot jammed outside the offside door. Passenger seat put right down.

    ...I am quite short, mind.

    Loud words. Spoken softly. Leave no Trace!

    For a while now i've been looking how to rig some form of sleeping arrangement into my Flander (Freelander) but like a lot of the Landy range, the Flander a bit on the short side. Like Fletch and one or two others, I'm looking at assembling some kit for all terrain bushcrafting and it would be simpler if I could bed down in the vehicle.

    Not sure SWIMBO would appreciate me drilling and fixing hammock anchor points into the front passenger side windscreen pillar and back off-side door pillar...! - so might have to be a back seats out job for my trips which i think is pretty easy to do actually and then throwing down a self inflating mat.
