Side Sleeping in a Hammock...a looky-see

- A looky-see at the oft talked about art of Side Sleeping in a hammock.
We are taking a look at it.
ander at me sideways in my Warbonnet XLC, Warbonnet Eldorado, Dutchware Chameleon, Dutchware Netless hammock, AMOK Draumr, Warbonnet Ridge Runner bridge hammock, Dreamhammock Raven and Wilderness Logic Snipe.
I lay sideways in the JRB Greylock 4, HG Incubator, WB Wooki. Also on an REI Flash pad and an Exped Downmat XP 9.
Also think about a pillow or stuff sack between your knees as an option. Or a pillow behind your back.
All secure in sector seven,

Watching a man in a hammock or a person boiling water....man is my life a thrill.
Love your vids!!
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Get a life... At least, if you like mans in hammocks, if you like people boiling water... Why dont you go and camp at your borders. You will be able to see many many many man in a single hammock and many many many people fighting for a cup of boiling water.
Go make a donation of your used tarps instead of throwing them. I bet you have only one garbadge container where you put throables, old food, chemicals... and tarps.
Geez, with as many hammocks as you have, you must have a lot of hang-ups ;-)
That's nor even all of them!
not meant I....
Perhaps you should create a travelling hammock consultancy. Travel to state fairs, guns shows, outdoor events, etc. Set up all your hammocks and, for a fee, let folks try them out, consult them on the best option for them, etc. As you travel, camp at various locations and write off the travel expenses as business research & development.
well I've got a tepee and a wigwam, my doctor said I was too tense.....
@bluesblaster Nice
Nailed it buddy, I'm a side sleeper and sleep in a ENO double nest every night. Got rid of the bed about 3 years ago.
You must be short
@@TheRealJaded I'm 6'1.
@@trent7700 even at home? That’s so cool!
Why, if I may ask?
I get the best night of sleep.When I wake up , nothing hurts.And I stay asleep the whole night.
I only side sleep and since you turned me on to hammocks 5 years ago I love sleeping fetal in gathered hammocks. The only problem I’ve ever had is getting cold on my shoulder at night. I’ve tried several under quilts but I feel like a wider under quilt would totally solve that. Wooo buddy you’ve done us a great service in helping us hang!!!!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
My 7 yr old grandson moves out of his crib at 1yr. He has been sleeping in a hammock the last 6 years. We bought a bunk bed for him and 2 wks later he asked to sleep in his hammock. I hung it corner to corner 5in off the bed.
His 1st yr he would nap with me or by himself in my hammock outside and inside. That boy sleeps all dirrections.
I have 4 more grandkids all younger nap in his bed hammock and the other two hung in the north room. Good show.
Whooooo Buddy))))
That is a very cool story. Thanks for sharing:)
Thanks! Finally a video on this! I have found that the size of the pillow in a GE makes all the difference to get more side and not have arm fall asleep or freeze off. The neck needs more pillow support since the wider shoulder comes into play. I haven’t decided if facing into the GE hammock is better with back to net or with face to net. Excellent work again!
Gotta be comfortable.
What type of pillow do you recommend? I recently got into hammock sleeping and cannot find anything better than my bunched up jacket 😂
@jessmtnz it's pricy but the Sierra Madre Puffalo works for my needs in the Air or on the ground
Very good topic. My CPAP battery died one night and I had to sleep on my side to live. The only way I could get comfortable was to double up a torso length self-inflating pad and put it under my hips. This seemed to give me a flat side lay and I’m still here 👍🏼
Good you are!!!!
Hey Shug, appreciate the content. I live in my hammock for 8 months of the year, and I'm a side sleeper. I'm in one of those cheap Walmart 2p hammocks.
Here is to the hammock life!
Such excitement for me this morning to watch a 60 year old guy trying to lay on his side in a variety of hammocks. I must lead such an exciting life myself if THIS is my form of entertainment! As a side sleeper who still wants to sleep in the piney woods... on her side... thank you!
I do so hope you get out there and do some right good side sleeping.
Im a side sleeper, and for parallel lay, i have my hammock strapped up tight and flat. I also dont use an underquilt or sleeping pad, but just modify a LONG SIZE somewhat roomy/wide sleeping bag (not mummy shape) with a hole in the bottom (to thread the carabiner of the sleeping bag through) and have this around my hammock. Not using an underquilt saves a lot of weight, and it is still really comfortable (IMO). Only problem is that the hammock pushes out and create a small gap on the top of the sleeping bag, so it allows some air circulation. This can be adjusted with the cord in the opening of the sleeping bag, and is actually a good thing in warm seasons, but it could be an issue if its cold. Especially if you dont wear a sweater or something.
Just trying a hammock for the first time. Your video helped a lot. I’ll have to watch it again several times. Thank you.
Glad to hear that. Be patient and enjoy the process.
This is #1.....th-cam.com/video/-Cvj0ISjzl8/w-d-xo.html
I like your beard man
Peace and love from Bristol England
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
In these times, it's good to be reminded that we do have the ability to brighten the day for the people we interact with.
Yessir....it is true. Whooooo Buddy))))
this guys energy. Something else man.
I'm a sprinter. Go hard. Then lay down.
I don’t know how I got here but I hit play and watched the whole video! I learned that there are about 1M different hammock styles and you own them all! Informative and entertaining!
Thankee Lizzette
Awesome, I’m looking into getting my first hammock and I am a side sleeper. I don’t have a huge budget but wth I’m going for it! Thanks again brother. Rolling stone gathers no moss ✊🏻
Side sleeping seems like no problem. But hammock differ than ground as you are in it and not on it.
Ha! Nice vid. I have been mostly side-sleeping in my hammock every single night for the past 6 years. It's great. I will never go back to sleeping in a bed. I sometimes sleep on my back, but mostly I end up curled up on my side, just like side-sleepers do in a bed. I have been using the Eno ProNest for 3 years, I prefer it because of it's smaller size, it fits in my small apartment rooms better.
Good to hear that.
This helps, it is rumored that I snore more when on my back and I have trying to go to side sleeping more. Thanks for video!
I hear ya'!
Hi Shug, Thanks for these awesome videos and keep them coming. My husband and I first turned onto you during your Long Trail adventure and have been following you ever since. Loved the Maple King episodes. Hope the shoulder recovery is going well.
I miss the LT! Thankee. Hickery and I plan to go back for more....
I can side sleep and side/belly sleep in my War Bonnet. I'm hefty gal at 270 lbs. Got my double lined, War Bonnet from watching your videos! First trip to BWCA last year at 49 years old. Got our permit for this year. The rest of my family has been going for years and I hated missing out because I knew a tent would never work for my back. Hammock camping was a game changer for me. I need to sleep on my side or stomach.
That is tops you found your hammock groove~ Sleep deeply out in the BWCA this Summer.
Hey Shug. I sleep in my hammock all the time in my house. I've discovered that I get a better lay when I position my pillow under my butt. I don't use a pillow under my head. I've even been able to sleep on my back a lot better. Sounds weird but so am I. I use a gathered end hammock.
No...I get that for sure. Body shim.
I toss and turn as I sleep. Actually, it's more of a slow rotisserie. 😀 Currently, I'm using a Hennessy Jungle Exp., double bottom. I'm not sure of the fabric dimensions.
I've found going a little more than the recommended 30° lay works for side sleeping. I do like being able to use the hammock side as a sort of "body pillow". I can catch my top knee in a fold of the side and keep it level with my hip.
Best advice- go out and sleep in your hammock!! Go use it. Sleep in it for a few nights in a row. It's going to take nights to get used to the lay.
We're all used to sleeping on a flat(ish) mattress. We all have that "groove" in the matress our bodies have created over time. Overnighting occasionally in a hammock doesn't give enough "practice".
Give it a long weekend to a week of hammock snoozing. Better yet, quit your job and run away to woods for a month or two. 😀
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Excellent demos, explanations and gear coverage - just what I needed... but then it reminded me of the golfing joke...
George got a new job. His fellow employees always met for a round of golf every Saturday.
They asked George to meet them at 10AM on Saturday morning. George replied that he would love to meet them, but he may be 10 minutes late.
On Saturday morning George was there at exactly 10AM. He golfed right handed and won the round.
Next Saturday rolls around, and George says that he will be there, but he may be 10 minutes late again. He shows up right on time, golfs left handed, and wins the round.
This continues for the next few weeks, with George always saying that he may be 10 minutes late, and then always winning the round golfing, either left or right handed.
The other employees are getting tired of this, and decided to ask him what the deal was. They said, "George, every Saturday you say you may be ten minutes late. You never are. Then you show up and golf with either right handed or left handed, and always win. What is up with that?"
George replies, "Well, I am a very superstitious kind of guy. Every Saturday when I wake up, I look over at my wife. If she is sleeping on her left side, I golf left handed. If she is sleeping on her right side, I golf right handed."
"Well," one of the employees questioned, "What happens if she is laying on her back or font?"
George replies, "Then I am 10 minutes late!"
That was a good one. You must be a fast typer haaaa
@@shugemery Hehe, more like a half-fast typer (please don't say that too fast!) But I gotta profess, after a week struggling with different setups, pads, pillows, etc, I finally found that my secret is being a side sleeper - AMEN BRO, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude on my breakthrough and the sleep app on my watch would give you two thumbs WAY UP - So I give you One thumbs up on your 1.8K Likes for this video and One on your Reply here LOL. Happy Trails 🤠
I can only sleep on my side and I roll from one side to the other at least 5-6 times during the night regardless of what I'm sleeping on. For this reason I resisted hammocks for a LONG time despite primarily camping dispersed in areas where finding a good "level" spot for a tent really limited my options. Now I kick myself for not going with a hammock years earlier!
I use an Equip "two person" hammock with an added ridgeline. They're easy to find and they're super cheap but you will have to upgrade the suspension. I use tree straps and Whoopie Slings that I picked up on eBay.
I was out a couple weeks ago with a Hammock Gear Econ 20 and a homemade top quilt fashioned from 2 Costo Black Diamond down throws sewn together. It got down to 23° one night but despite my habitual tossing and turning I slept comfortably and was toasty warm.
For anyone out there who is a side sleeper like me and have been reluctant get off the ground I would strongly encourage you to give it a try!
P.S. Thanks for all of the great videos and advice Shug! Always looking forward to the next!
I usually end up in all three positions at some point in the night. The slacker I have my hammock(tighter ridgeline) the more comfy I am on my side and stomach. Thanks for the video Shug! We're finally getting snow, time for some winter camping!
Snowing here today too!
The excitement of seeing a notice of a new video from Shug, Thanks for the info, and being you.
Whoooooo Buddy))))) and thankee.
Did I hear shallow lay? 😂🤣 Lol
👍👍 Foothills trail video was most excellent!!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Yes that was definitely an awesome video thank you for showing greatly appreciate it adversity that each hammock and person has for sleeping
A lot of variables!
Love that “vintage” Camp Snoopy poster in the Nut Hut. Glad to have seen you at the fair the last couple of years and am looking forward to more North Shore vids, whenever you’re healed. Whoo Buddy!!
Oh but I did get up to the SHT recently....th-cam.com/video/sv6W_ntLImY/w-d-xo.html
Boy Shug I love the way you put your hammocks up. I love that set up their out of the way and they’re not all compressed. I hope to run into you someday on either the Ozark Trail or the Linville Gorge Trail God bless you John
Thay is just my UQs and top quilts and sleeping bag hanging up there.Keeps them lofted and ready to go!
I have an Amok coming in spring and cannot wait to use it. Thanks for all you do for us Shug!
Whooooo Buddy))))
Shuge, new to hammock camping and your videos are great. Thank you for the stuff you put out, very educational.
Glad they are giving some insight. Whooooo Buddy))))
@@shugemery hahaha
good to see the shoulder is back in action shug thumb up
Getting better and better.
Half a million dollars in hammocks! Love your man cave. Reminds me of a back stage prop room.
Well, only a quarter million~~~
Great comparison vid. Nice to see that shoulder healing! The injury has taught me how to be more of a back sleeper
Righto...tough side sleeping on the mending shoulder.
Been sleeping in a hammock for a month . I tossed my 20 year old bed so I could remodel my bedroom and decided to just spend a few months in my hammock. I actually sleep better, stay up and moving during the day and fall asleep faster at night.
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Thank you for all that work Shug :), another great video.
Y'elcome and thankee.
Shug, you are my hero. Thank you for all the laughs.
Y'elcome and I am bowing deeply here.
But, you are such a talented cloth sacker!
Touché~~~~
Damn Shug...watching an old vid of yer's..
I too am an alcoholic..sober 15 years...
Funny..I felt a pull to ya right off the bat...one more reason why.
Also..you help me quit smoking!
Good on ya' Rich.
Don't miss the whiskey...sometimes miss smoking but those daze are done!
@@shugemery early!
My ridge line...tone.. definitely Barney Miller theme.
Which was Hal Blaine's wrecking crew...so probably Carol Kay..on bass...so..my ridge line is Carol Kay...
Whoooooooo buddy!
Yep tried so hard not to fall but I can’t stop myself. Gonna take a final walk to my best camping spot and take my last camping trip in this world I hope that what ever comes next there’s trees. Cheers for the entertainment shugg you made me smile in my last few days!!
I hope for you peace and strength.
I’ll find peace in my own passing and so will all the people I’ve upset
I’ve only just stumbled upon this video and now wondering if you’re still here with us darkdefender?
@@stevej.6674 hi Steve wow yes I am still here I didn’t even know I’d posted this, I was in a really really bad place I spent some time in hospital and was lucky enough to get the serious help that I needed and came out the other side better and stronger. Thanks for the concern and comment
@@darkdefender1 🥳 awesome!!!!!! so happy to hear you’re ok & well. Are you still getting out there camping now that you’re ok?
I'm a side sleeper in a bed or on the ground. In a hammock, I sometimes sleep on my back (only place that's comfortable for me) and sometimes on my side. I'm seeing you've discovered my biggest issue with side sleeping in my hammock - the fabric flapping around my face. I have a couple solutions. Normally I use solution 1 which is to sleep at a 45 degree, mostly on my side but facing just enough upward to keep my face out of that fabric. Solution 2 is to put my pillow kind of resting on the very edge - this works best right up until I wake up and the pillow is on the ground and my face is buried in hammock. Solution 3 is one I'm thinking about DIY'ing for next season - a tie out to keep that spot pulled out.
Good ideas. Whooooo Buddy))))
Shuggity-shug-shug-shug yay another one of my favorite hammockers that do-do what I love! 😂🤣😁 I can only lay on the left side...idk why lol just always have if I choose to side sleep . Tfs Atb, Nikki
Thankee Nikki.
Awesome breakdown! Thanks for taking the time to post it up.
Y'elcome and Whooooo Buddy))))
At least seven years ago, I bought an ENO Double Nest hammock to go camping in South Florida. I decided to test hang in my bedroom and figure out how to hang a hammock at home, instead of trying to figure it out in a campsite. I bought two heavy-duty eye bolts and put them in my bedroom ceiling into a roof joist, then clipped caribiiners into them and hung the hammock. First night's sleep was the best night's sleep I had in years. Same thing next night. I'm on my third hammock now and haven't slept in a bed in years, except when on the road in a hotel. I have sleep apnea and can't tolerate a CPAP so I sleep exclusively on my side to reduce the apneas and the ENO Double Nest is pretty good for that. I'm a big guy (over 6 feet tall and about 250 pounds) and I don't have a problem with it. I tried an ENO Single Nest, but it didn't work for side sleeping for me--too confined. I'd like to try a bridge hammock someday because I'd really like the option of stomach sleeping too, but what I have now has worked well for years. I don't miss a mattress at all. So far, probably somewhere between two and three thousand nights spent sleeping in a hammock. I may never buy another mattress as long as I live.
Whooooo Buddy)))))
Glad to se your shaping up nicely with the shoulder..A side sleeper yep..but not always..i have a woodsman xl..which is similar to the warbonnet..lots of roooommmm...keep them vids a commin dude...just love emm !!!
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Oh my! I just asked about this on hammock forums fb page!
You're the best, shug!!
There ya' go though I have never been to that FB page. Carry forth.....
Three observations by me . One , your recovery is progressing nicely . Two , Ole shug's been working out and dropping some lbs . Three , IMHO you look most excellent with that beard !!! In final , missed Cappy this last one ....... RIP Cap ... Gubs
Recovery...check! A biglighter...check. Beard.....a bit longer. Cappy will return. He was first a Christmas video.
Bit lighter means I. I love food. I enjoy then I get tough and shred.
@@shugemery Check , as do I.Ah, the tough phase , now I got it . Get some !!
@@shugemery Good , maybe for Xmas :) Hmm , been a lowly scribe for many , many moon , and thought Cap was a Hallow guy !? Live and learn . Hope your recovery keeps truck'n ........ G
Wow! Not only was I dizzy with the variety of hammocks, but than you spun that camera around like that.
Dizzyx2.
I have slept in my eno double for almost 2 years now. I sleep like a baby. Dig your vids Shug!
Whoooooo Buddy))))
Hey Shug, side sleeper here! I found out over the last 2 years 72" wide works fer me! Still have trouble with a fixed ridge line tho! Practice makes perfect don't it! Lookin' good with the whiskers! I'm a ginger also....well not so much now! If ya' got time check out one of videos! Thanks fer your time Sir. ZZ.
Wide hammocks would seem good for side sleeping.
About 30 seconds in and I am already convinced as hell! :)
Whoooo Buddy)))))
Enjoyed your video!
Thankee Cindy.
I'm mostly a back sleeper in my XLC. Occasionally I'll side sleep but I don't go full fetal.
Yessir.
I've got a Dutch Half wit and have no problem side sleeping. I toss and turn. No problems whatsoever.
Good to hear that.
Side sleeper here. Double layer always. Slip a pad in between. Totally comfortable in both the RR and the Dream Sparrow.
Good intel...thankee.
Thanks Shug for giving me some hope!!
Hope lies on it's side!
Another great video, glad to see your shoulder is on the mend
Way better but still took of work until end of January so I don't mess it up and set myself back.
Solid plan, hope it all goes well
I am so glad i subscribed to your channel. Im a sidesleeper and Im going to get me a hammock one of these days. Youre a very funny lad Shug
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Good call, I literally can't sleep any other way but on my side
Side on!
Omg at 3:49 I nearly fell asleep FOR you. Looks soooooo comfortable!
I feel ya'
thank you for the info
Y'elcome and thankee. Hope it gave some insight.
Love the beard....love your passion....you rock! Whoooo Buddy. Fist Bumps ~ Miyagi
Whooooooo Buddy Miyagi-san)))))
What's the best coverage underquilt for the warbonnet xlc? I really like to re-adjust in the night and I want something that's going to keep me covered if I roll over because adjusting things in the night can really suck the heat out of the sleeping bag
Almost any good quality UQ will do. It is all about setting it up correctly.

Great review Shug,

Love the beard! My 6 year old asked if you were trying to be like me, Haha! I do have a green chameleon and orange ula circuit so I see his rational. He was so serious it was hilarious. We love your videos my friend
That is way funny! Thanks.
Thanks Shug! This helped a lot.
Y'elcome.
I use a Bear Butt hammock double with a body pillow to side sleep. I know it's excessive if you're hiking but I'm not a light gear kinda guy.
Being comfortable is a good thing.
Hey Shug im 6'4" and my 9'4" hammock hurts my knee joints can sleep well how big of a hammock should I buy to keep from my knees from feeling hyperextened your a tall guy your self any good advice to give me?
Try sticking a pillow or a stuff sack with some clothes in it under your knees. It will help a lot.
Amok Draumr, clearly master race. back, side, stomach. all no muss, no fuss. carry that weight!
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
Great vid and wise words at the end from shug the sage. Ian
It is a simple and true thing but so hard for mankind to do at times. Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))
Shug, I really enjoyed that!
Thankee..
Shug: The master of many hammocks! Great video! I:
Whooooo Buddy))))
Thanks for the video Shug’s , sleep on my side and back only . Love the planes Shug , got some rc planes myself. Have a good day !!!!
Whooooo Buddy)))) Planes are so fun.
I side sleep in my hammy probably 90% of the night. I have found that if I have a really bad lay in my hammock due to having to settle for a not so great hang place, that I can get a wonderful flat lay just by side sleeping and curling up a bit. I am short, so I can do the fetal position thing. I do often back sleep in my hammock, which I never do in a bed or on the ground. I have a DIY bridge hammock that works great for side sleeping too. Nothing wrong with "testing" out hammocks for their sleepability.
Good intel there. Thanks.
I Voted too. And I am a side sleeper, lol
Whooooo Buddy))))
Interesting topic!
Gets asked about a lot.
Great video
Whoooooo Buddy)))))
And yes I am still at work so I'll watch this video later
Shug have a great day and weekend
It is side sleep or I don't sleep in a hammock. So this was great info for me.
So many of you side sleepers...who woulda known!
When a hammocks is for example 11 feet long and 60 inches wide, from where to where or what part of the hammock are these measurements taken from?
From the end to end of the hammock and side to side edges. Some measure the raw material.
@@shugemery
Thank you
Thanks this was a huge concern..Cheers
Righto!
Great video on side sleeping ! Like the way you presented the various hammocks and how to sleep on either side. Must have taken you a long time to do this video.
Just a quick question , you seem to sleep head right and feet left , are you left handed or just your main preference?
Thanks all your efforts and unbiased opinions, greatly appreciated!
By the way, beard looks good on you !
I am left handed so maybe that is why. Thankee and Whooooo Buddy))))
YEAH kudos for mentioning all the tummy sleepers ha ha I am one of them.........but sleeping on your tummy in a hammock might be very challenging ha ha
I wonder if you ever fell out of a hammock, especially those Warbonnet ridgeliner , those might need some exercise to maintain your balance
I never have. I think it is harder than it seems. Watch me try at 3:03 in this video....th-cam.com/video/G3VZ8KtsYs8/w-d-xo.html
So I saw the graphic or a box of the beloved Nobler, a paint scheme that appeared to be inspired by Ms. America (the unlimited Reno competitor), and possibly a Ringmaster hanging there on a wall? I know, this was about hammock sleeping, but there is a lot to look at! Thanks
No Ringmaster but bunch of other planes!....th-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZIJYRxo9TS1hNmtMKSvezQn.html
Shug, I cant tell if it's just tricksy camera angles or not, but it looks like you've got the foot end of your hammocks strung up quite a bit higher than the head end. Is there a reason for that and should I give it a try?
You are correct. Keeps me from sliding towards the foot end and puts me in my sweet spot. Foot end 12 to 16 inches higher is pretty common.
I may try that! Im pretty satisfied with the way I already hang, but no harm in trying something different!
Hey what about pillows? I have a hard time finding one I like. What’s your go to?
One of these.....www.hammockgear.com/economy-pillow/
Shug, i need your help!! I just ordered my first "real" hammock from dutchware. I ordered the standard netless 11' x 58". I've been sleeping in an ENO doublenest for years while backpacking but i think it's time to finally upgrade. Super excited to get it, but after digging around on hammockforums.net, I'm a little concerned it might not be wide enough (I'm 6'1" and about 200lbs). I know based on your videos you tend to lean towards the 58"-60" width range, do you think this will be wide enough for me? (I know width preference is totally subjective, just curious about your thoughts). I've never slept in anything other than my old ENO so I really have no idea what it's going to feel like. Thanks!!
I think you will be OK with it. If not just exchange it.
@@shugemery that is a good point, I didn't realize that's an option. Thanks.
At some degrees i can't even decide if i'm a side or back sleeper.😊
Allrighty.....
Yea I don't seem to know, I think I do a side/back sleep.
yep, Ima side sleeper, a tosser and turner, sometimes I sleep with my head High, sometimes feet High. Either way, If im tired Im sleeping. love my hammock and top and underquilts.
Whooooo Buddy))))
Thanks for the clip! What's the type of Hammock from 13seconds onwards? (and the colour? Alpha Green?)

We need a music video from you, Shug! Just like a solid 10mins of you playing would be perfect! I'm also fairly certain most of us would watch you do just about anything! Haha!
Oh...that would get me way too many thumb downs!
Whoah. Spotted Shug without a hat on. 10:45
No hat on my how to juggle series. I miss my mullet.
New hammocker here, and full time home side sleeper. In a bed I sleep with one leg straight and the other bent, it seems to relieve pressure on my lower back. This is hard to do in a hammock.
Couple questions, do you notice your ankles/feet getting pressured while on your side?
How about rolling over? I assume you have to switch orientation?
Side sleeping have an effect on calf ridge?
This video is so timely, spent all week researching side sleeping.
This is more a less a demo and I don't sleep on my side long enough to know but imagine they would.
Rolling over in a hammock is a bit of work. As a back sleeper I am very still so less work for me.
Calf ridge...think that is not an issue as the calves are tucked up higher. A pillow under relieves that either way.
Beard is looking good.
Thank you. Can't keep my fingers out of it.
Glad to see your shoulder doing well. Also good seeing you and Hickery after 42 years. You boys got an old fart motivated to pick up a ruck again sometime. Don Bradshaw
Is this Bradshaw from West Meck??? We played football!
Yes sir! class 77, tami quinn told me about your page when we had a joint reunion last year. Watched all your stuff since. Very entertaining enjoyed all of it. Even got me thinking to pick up a ruck again. Haven't gone out yet but hopefully soon. @@shugemery
Good to hear from you Don. Hope you get the ruck on and go!
Great video..l.thankyee..😬
Thankee back Mrs. Devine.
I'm still making friends with my hammock...I'm a hammock newb. This was great! 🤓
Have patience and enjoy the journey.
I’m really trying to like sleeping in a hammock but it’s just not comfortable to me. The thing is that I’ve already bought a warbonnet super fly and added dutchware to it as well adding seam seal to it. I now feel like I have to hammock camp but I just don’t know what to do ;(
I feel the same way about my new tent. You can alwats sell it.
thank you for making this video. I have a HG Phoenix and a Blackbird. I have lots of trouble with keeping the HG suspension over my feet, so I get cold at night. Suspension ends up under my feet and that lets all the heat out because it warps the underquilt fit. Any solutions other than buying a Warbonnet underquilt?
Look into the Triangle-Thingies as you can set your suspension differently.
Maybe just be more aware of it?...this video may give some insight....th-cam.com/video/D9N3KkV5Zf4/w-d-xo.html
