Comfort in the woods

I guess there isn't really a Brythonic or spiritual connection with these but I tried one last night and they are the future for sleeping in hilly woods in wales! Much more comfortable than you would think- I didn't believe I could sleep in a hammock but somehow these don't curve your body too much, and you can sleep on your side.

You don't need to find a flat, stone free or tree free bit and they go up in a couple of minutes.

They're also designed no to damage thin barked trees with wide straps that go around the trunk not cord.
Only fault is that arguably they're a bit overpriced but I think for easy nights on your own in the woods they're worth it.

Blessings and no commission

Great for a relax but awful to spend a night in (I learnt by sleeping at 45 degrees with my elbow in the cup holder to stop me rolling out)

Mind you it needs no trees

Argos have a aluminium framed bed it's light and easy to put up chuck on a few sheep skin nice and comfortable

I just invested in one from www.cybercheckout.com/ ... ridiculously cheap, really comfortable and portable if you have a car.
It's been a godsend the past week when I've been ill, instead of being stuck indoors I've been able to lie outside in the garden reading and watching the birds. I wish I'd thought of getting one sooner.

I spent years bivvying with a 12' square, oiled canvas tarp, with brass eyelets around it for cover, and an old bivvy bag for sleeping in.

As for hammocks I don't see people's problem in sleeping in them, there again I am ex-Navy

These days the nearest I get to camping with my poor old joints is a caravan. Such is life...

I can't sleep in a hammock I get sea sick really easy.

I just sleep on the floor... couple of sheepskins underneath, job's a good 'un.

I'm off camping in a few weeks - can't wait
Looking forward to doing absolutely nothing (my ultimate lifetimes ambition...)

I'm busy doing nothing,
Working the whole day through,
Trying not to find lots of things not to do.

Hmm... trying to imagine a still Blackbird - yup, scary.
