I finally abdicated and bought a Hennessy hammock.

I tried it for the first time last night in a wooded area near my home. It is still quite cold around here and the temperature dropped bellow freezing point. I was prepared however and had a couple of fleece blankets and a thermarest along with my (very) old sleeping bag.

The problem was that I found it extremely difficult to stay on my thermarest all night long. I was glad to have my two blankets with me as they served as cushion each side to prevent me from slipping away from the mattress. My feet got slightly numb too from being stuck in the same position for long hours. It was certainly not the most pleasant night I ever spent but I attribute this to my very limited experience with the Hennessy.

If you have any trick to share to make my nights more comfortable, I'd love to read about them.
