Me & My Mom Outfitters proudly presents ๐ This thing has been in the making for a whole year with a lot of difficulties encountered, but it's finally done. The one thing I miss when hammocking is the protected lounging quarters of a tent. But here it is now!
We have a waterproof floor that pegs to the ground, ultralight mosquito net for walls and the roof bit out of monofil fabric. The roof has slots for spreader poles, which I'm still to make out of aluminium. Branches work too. Zipper entry is reinforced with monofil. The tent is supported by the hammock ridgeline and suspension alone, so setup is quick and effortless. The vibe upstairs is rather psychedelic without a tarp on top :D
The hammock is also self made, with a monofil inner layer to carry the load and a slightly longer silnylon outer layer to stop wind and form a little air gap that holds body heat.
Summer vacation has just begun โ adventures await...
Took it out for a night, and I must say it's most excellent. It started to rain when I went to sleep, and popping out the earplugs in the morning, I found it's raining again. So a good rain test of this kind of 'high roof' setup done and passed. I would typically drape the tarp really low and all around the hammock, so it was really refreshing to have a 360ยฐ view of the surroundings.
