Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sleep through the night in a hammock?
Yes, with a suitable hammock, good suspension and the right protection: a mosquito net against insects and a tarp against the rain. An underquilt or an insulated mat keeps your back warm, as air circulates underneath the hammock.
How to set up a bivouac hammock
Choose two solid trees set a good distance apart, use wide straps that protect the bark, and adjust the tension: not too taut and not too slack, for a comfortable night's sleep. Test it out before committing your full weight.
Do you need a mosquito net and a tarp?
For a full night's sleep, yes: the mosquito net keeps insects away and the tarp protects you from rain and dew. Without them, the hammock is still perfect for an afternoon nap and relaxing in fine weather.
Does a hammock insulate against the cold?
Not much insulation: air circulates underneath and cools your back. On chilly nights, add an underquilt or a sleeping mat inside the hammock. It's essential for staying warm while you sleep, even in summer at altitude.
