11' Camping-Hängematte mit 12' Tarpset

Parfait !!

My hammock arrived just in time for a week long camp trip. I strung up between a couple of trees along the river and was able to set up fairly quickly, now that I've had it set up once, it will be much faster from now on. A few of the days we had 55+ km/h winds, the supplied pegs and bungee cord for the tarp held it down perfectly, not once did the wind manage to pull any pegs. Most nights were 35-40 degrees celsius, and the cool breeze was able to flow freely through the fly net allowing me to be very comfortable. At some points the wind was so crazy that it was actually making me cold, luckily I had also purchased an underquilt, and despite it being the underquilt designed for -1 to -10 degrees celsius, I was able to use it in its loose setting, and created a perfect nest for myself, warm underneath and a nice cool breeze across the top was just right to regulate the temperature. I also purchased the blow up pillow, usually I wouldn't use a pillow in a hammock, or regular bed for that matter, but this pillow was so easy to inflate to exactly the right amount, and super easy to tweak whilst laying, allowing me to fine tune the pillow to be the most comfortable I've ever slept on. I am yet to use the windsock that I also purchased, but if it's anything like the rest of the setup, I won't have any troubles with it either. I woke up each morning in the exact same position as when I went to sleep in, for a solid 8-10 hours of pure, uninterrupted sleep, 6 nights straight. I am only disappointed that I don't have enough room to set the hammock up inside at home and sleep in it full time.

My first experience in hammock camping was a weekend in Ohio using the 11' Camping Hammock with 12' Tarp Bundle. I was lucky to be with other more experienced folk who okayed my setup which wasn't at all difficult.I was very comfortable in the hammock and well protected by the tarp with it's doors.

This past weekend there was scheduled to be a cold front moving in with expected heavy rain and thunderstorms.
I went out for this reason to give my equipment a good test, which I like to do every once in a while. Set up camp with my hammock, under quilt and tarp as usual. Sure enough Saturday night it come a severe thunder storm and it lived up to the hype given by the weather forecast. I was up on a small ridge and the rain stared to get heavier and heavier then burst of lightening appeared through the tarp and this storm was getting something fierce. I could hear the wind coming in gust which sounded like waves crashing the beach. All I could think of was maybe there was some kind of cell over me turning and each time it got back to the wind side, whoosh again. It got so bad that the tarp was blowing into the hammock and rocking me from side to side. This went on about two and half hours of heavy downpour. My gear got tested for sure. I must say that the only worry I had was the tent stakes that were holding the tarp would turn loose, but they did not. With the ends closed up in the tent configuration no rain got in and the gear held its own. Bottom line is I would trust OneWind gear in any weather condition. Stayed dry and warm through it all even with the 30 degree temp drop and storm front that came through. Remember to always check for widowmakers when you set up, I do not want to test for dropping limbs.
Thank you OneWind for an outstanding product.
