Sick of sleeping on the ground like a common pleb every time you do a multi-day hike? Wondering if there could be a more comfortable option? There is!

Hammock camping opens a range of campsite options not suitable for tents and offers unparalleled backwoods comfort. The trade-off is increased complexity, a reliance on suitable anchor points (trees), and a sometimes dizzying array of gear choices.

In this crash course participants will be walked through the anatomy of a camping hammock, site selection, safety, what to do when there are no trees, and practical skills to increase comfort and reduce the chances of untimely death.

If you have a camping hammock but aren’t confident in its use, please bring it along. 
If you have experience hammock camping and would like to aid in the training, please let me know.

The main body of information should be well and truly covered in less than two hours, but I can waffle on for hours answering questions and I’m happy to hang around as long as necessary to provide hands-on guidance to whoever wants it.
