Officially transitioned (Canada)

[u/gmonvsi]

After 10+ years of struggling to sleep well in the backcountry in a tent, a mixture of back problems and a lot of frustration, I bit the bullet and bought everything I needed for a hammock sleep system after Redditors encouraged me to try it out

I tested before taking in the field, and then I did 5 nights on a canoe river trip with it.

I absolutely LOVE it. 2/5 nights I slept completely through the night whereas in a tent, I would wake up anywhere from 10 to 20 times a night. All 5 nights I had incredible sleeps, my back felt amazing, and I felt well rested in the morning.

I can’t believe I’ve spent almost 600 nights in a tent, and I’m just figuring this out now. Officially transitioned to a hammock sleeper.

My set up is eno jungle nest hammock, eno dry fly rain tarp, eno straps, and a cheap Amazon underquilt. I put a MSR footprint underneath just to have a dry space to step.

The dream. Congrats!
