Where to Store Stuff in your Hammock~~~

[@johniac7078]

The question is if you have a bag for Bean, a bean bag if you will........thank you, I'm here all day.

[@shugemery]

Applause!

[@nathansharp3193]

I noticed you larks-headed your headlamp onto your ridgeline. I used to do that too...Until I realized that I could just clamp the headlamp onto the line using the hinge of my headlamp. It makes getting it off in the dark much easier. I haven't had any problems with it falling doing it that way. It also fixes the light in a position that doesn't shine in my eyes or wiggle around if I need some indirect lighting at night. Give it a try if you haven't already. It's worked great for me and is one of those tiny little details that has improved my setup for me.

[@shugemery]

I may try but you know how old men are set in their ways.......

[@nathansharp3193]

shugemery : It makes for a quicker draw on those cold, new moon nights early (Early!) in the morning before the sun's up and you have a few extra layers between you and your midnight piss. Every second counts! It's definitely worth a try, it's worked great for me or I never would've mentioned it to you. You've shared so many good tips with me, I figured I could share an idea that may help you.

[@teamambrose74]

Shug, never thought anyone could steal the show from you, but Bean gave you a run for money today ;) Wooodoggie!

It’s been a looooong week of anxiously waiting for another Shug video. Happy Days! Thanks for all of the great expert tips that would take newbies a long time to figure out on their own. You may be the Lord if Lollygag, but you’re also the #1 ambassador for the hammock life, combining years of experience with a natural gift for teaching...........and wrapped up in one of the most enjoyable personalities on YT. Keep up the fantastic job Shug!

If the weather was mild and no snow, ice and mud and cold I would maybe try a night. But my daughter will reclaim him in early May.

Hey Shug! I’ve been a fan since last year when I started hammock camping for the first time. I’m still learning and your videos have been a great help. You’re such a cool guy and I love all the clown skills you show. I’m building up to attempt my first winter snow camping this year in my hammock. Thanks again for the videos!

[@erickillg811]

I would just like to say I think you shug for everything you do for the Hammock camping world . I know I’ve said this before but you are the reason I am now in a hammock it’ll be three years this April and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Well I got called a few times but I figured it out. Pretty much every time I watch one of your videos I learned something new. There is a gentleman by the name of Mike Williams, he’s a member of Hammock forms he started making dog hammocks or gear hammock . He makes a great product. Your daughters dog is adorable. Wish you the best I was looking forward to your next video.

[@shugemery]

Thank you Erick.

[@tjmorrison1909]

Really like your videos ! I have learned alot from you (and others). I'm not as young as I used to be and I really appreciate the comfort a hammock brings. Gets me out in the forest more.

[@shugemery]

I like my 11 hour sleep in mine!

[@christophermckellar1352]

[@parnold-mora8924]

Excellent video/information as always Shug! But it got me to missin' my furry backpackin' companions from years gone by. The "Bean" is the perfect size to be takin' on a hammock trip and if he sported his own doggie backpack I'd have me some additional storage options as well. Keep those videos a comin', you always make me smile when I need it most.

[@shugemery]

I might if the trail were not covered in snow, ice, mud and still cold. By Spring he will be back with my daughter.

[@WildFleur312]

Bean's the Bomb! Hope to see more Bean! :)

[@shugemery]

Oh...you just may.

[@unclebrownson]

I use those bags for picking up after your dog, for storing Tootsie Rolls in. When I walk my dog, I can nibble on Tootsies from the bag, and NO ONE ever asks to share! They do kind of look at me funny....;-)

[@shugemery]

Darn good gag!

[@darthmperator]

I wanna try hammock camping this summer.

[@CarlGonzo]

THE IMPERATOR Don’t do it.. your old tent will collect dust, your sleeping pad will never see the light of day again. You’ll never sell your old stuff cause you’ll convince yourself you’ll use it again one day but you wont. You’ll run off with your hammock like its a mistress and have the best sleep of your night. I don’t even much care for my bed anymore. I miss my old simple camping days when nights in the woods were supposed to be uncomfortable and home was sanctuary. Hammocks are like some new dimension, nothing makes sense anymore.

[@calvinmientke3539]

Step #1 to hammock camping! Locate 2 sturdy trees about 4 farmer paces apart in your yard. My yard has NO trees, the neighbor's lot has trees too far apart!!!! It makes it difficult to practice set up. I'm a gunna get out a post hole digger and "plant" my own trees, darn it!

[@Make_America_Trump_Again]

Carl Gonzo u forgot to mention how you will decide that sleeping in a hammock by yourself is better than sleeping with a girlfriend or wife every night, so u decide to stay single forever!

[@letthesmokerise3489]

Clark Outdoor hammocks have included integrated storage with under hammock pockets for a long time. As of a few years ago the user can now access those pockets from inside the hammock vs reaching out and under hammock.

[@shugemery]

True. I've never tried Clark though. My buddy Hickery likes his. But those bottom Clark pockets seem more for clothing as insulation.

[@needleisure7335]

Thanks for showing a bunch of options. My current go to and favorite is the peak shelf.

Very cool video bud. I have yet to try a camp hammock yet. Heard a guy called them bear burritos once. Totally ruined it for me lol. They seem really nice though especially for River overnight trips. So very compact.

[@shugemery]

Yeah. I prefer tacos. there is a learning curve to hammocks but worth as I sleep 10 to 12 hours in the woods.

[@dougyanez1710]

Bears and dragons can tear through a tent as easily as a hammock, realistically. I wouldn't call one more secure than the other. That being said, I'm still using tents because I prefer not having to worry about finding a hang spot if i end up in a field and I like having more room to spread things out to dry overnight in the tent. Plus you know what they say about hiker sex... It's InTents!

I know this is a year late but I made my gear sling by getting a cheap hammock of them world wide interwebs for about 15$, then cut it in half. I whipped the ends, added some paracord to them, and had one for me and one for the missus. They are just big enough to fit our backpacks and anything I may want in the middle of the night I just set on top of the backpack. Keeps the hammock uncluttered but still provides storage. For my shoes I use an S-biner through the pull tabs and hang them off the suspension line at the foot end. Easy-Peasy and a super cheap solution. Hopefully this will help someone to save some money where they can to spend more where it matters.

[@shugemery]

I make a quick release knot around a tree, like a highwaymans hitch, then i hang my backpack on it using a carbine hook that i added to the backpack. I hang it at about chest-ish level. When i'm ready to leave, i just put an arm in a strap, pull the knot, it comes lose and i put my other arm in and i'm ready to walk. No lifting, easy access and easy to untie.

[@spidermonkey832]

Thanks for the side-sling review, I was wondering if you could stuff a winter top quilt in there. Now I know that I can. Do larger items in the side-sling push against your underquilt and compress the down? I use a Dutch water bottle holder on the highest external chameleon attachment points (foot end) to hold my quilt stuff sacks, and other bags. Always know where they are when I’m packing up.

[@shugemery]

Does not seem too. It can be staked out away from the hammock as well.

[@virginiaporden2410]

I'll use a ridgeline organizer, but not the bag style. It's webbing loops that I can clip everything on to with whatever size clips or S-biners I want to use. I then use a larger S-biner to hang my shoes so nothing climbs in while I'm snoozing. Those gear hammocks are awesome, too. Very multi-purpose. Gear, seat, pack cover!
