[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 2137325, member: 56428"] So i used a hammock once on back pack in hunt. I did it all wrong to start. I bought hammock and didnt bother unrolling it or testing it. We got to where we were camping for the hunt I got my hammock out and unrolled it to hang well it was about 24in wide. I figured this is narrow so I only put it off the ground about a foot. We were in a grizzly bear release area so I had my rifle right under me on the ground. It was so COLD i had thermals on and in my mummy bag all pulled up tight with just a hole for my mouth and nose. About 1am I heard a bear close to camp. I couldnt get the d--- mummy bag untied and unzipped well I went A-- over tea kettle on top of my rifle still in the mummy bag. I am not sure if the bear scared me or I scared him worse we could hear him running all the way down the side of mountain. So opening morning at day light I was shooting my rifle to confirm zero before I even got to hunt. Froze my a-- off for a week in that hammock. Never tried again I just carry a one man tent and therma-rest now. Good luck with the hammocks... [/QUOTE]
