Mosquito Tent Hammock. Bushcraft, camping, homeless,shelter
Proof that this is a tough little hammock. Bought it on line about $140 it is worth that. It is an emergency shelter in the event of hurricane we can evacuate and I can have a good place to rest as long as I have two spaced trees.
Have you ever slept in a tent on the ground? Even with an air mattress, it sucks! Well this way you are off the ground you have a self induced breeze by way of rocking, lightweight, stores quickly, barely know you have a tent on your back, can be set up on trees, cars, poles, anywhere you can safely tie off to you could tie off over water if you want. Paddle out to a site with an inflatable tie off get your rest no body to bother you especially the police they love to hassle you if you are homeless. Paddling to a place like this gets you away from all the crazies too if you think about it.
I will get larger netting so I can save on the Deet hate to put that stuff on it makes you hot. Hope this is helpful ask any question you wish I will answer it.
There are many versions and brands of tent hammock google tent hammock and you will see plenty of them some people blog about them and give you their opinion of their time with their product I want to see Cabalas carry these or Bass Pro.
This is not a proper setup. It is for demonstration purpose only the trees on my property are not spaced enough if they were the swing would be better. The rain fly came with it should be taught again demonstration only not set up correctly it is a great looking package that blends in well with the surroundings. Low impact because you do not have to disturb the ground why bother no rocks roots plants to poke you in the back. You can sleep on your side roll over side to side whatever you need to get comfortable. The surgery I have had is called a 360 they cut you front and back install titanium rods and triangles tidy up with bone implants again it’s major surgery. My truck was flipped by a tornado I was injured hence the surgery and the need to sit occasionally I almost have to carry a chair with me at times. I have walked the 6 miles to the local supercenter to see If I could make it. Blisters on my feet I made it had to rest a few times but made it.
My climate is mild (more like a jungle) if you have to deal with snow get a Clark they appear to be top of the line and offer warmth with their under side bag that can be filled with cloths moss whatever. Clark acted shocked when I told them my weight I guess they feel the overweight handicapped don’t deserve the great out doors. How are we to loose the weight by crashing in the sleep number bed because if I can’t be comfortable I will not go?
This device opens the door for me to get active. I will loose this weight you can count on that. Was loosing weight at work will do a video on that later but truckers usually gain weight at work I am the opposite I loose weight at work.
PLEASE leave a comment or a rating good bad or ugly I leave comments please do the same Thank you.

Both of my toyotas work very well the prius is unbelievable on fuel but I am fearful should it ever break. The tech is so advanced I bet it would be totaled should we get into a small fenderbender. If I had it all to do again I would go for an older diesel model and do my best to get veggie oil supplies from a resturaunt. Where you live you have a lower daily temp so that might be a pill to get to work well.
Did you see my …
Did you see my video on woodgas stove it works and with little or nothing for fuel the fan $2us from walmart powered with the sun rechargerable batteries are charged with the sun. I go to construction sites will pick up a bucket of blocks and wack them with a hatchet to burn. Last night I did a demonstration and cooked some eggs it had a flame coming out the top over 9 inches.
Hi. I invested in …
Hi. I invested in some LEKI poles 2 years ago. I never go walking trails without them. Used to have a metal detector, but the beeps really got to me. I mean they would go off it it lifted just off the ground by an inch too much. kept finding ALU ring pulls. Now I have difficulty bending to the floor, BP problems cause dizziness. On a survival point, I have a little camping stove and solid fuel. If the power goes off, then I can still make Tea. Would love to do a long walk.
I took it wrong but …
I took it wrong but at one time I was seriously considering a try for a walk on position with the New Orleans Saints but after talking with Mr. Dalton Hilliard decided that was too much like business and not a game when I look back on that it saddens me. Get yourself some walking poles that will give you four legs rather than 2 and you will work upper same time. Find a hobby that keeps you busy. I need to get over the blues best to go metal detecting that lifts spirits when I watch the sun set.

I am somewhat overweight. My knees are best desrcibed as worn out. And I was recently told that I have to be on blood pressure medication indefinately. I know that weight is not the only factor. But I cant mend my kness, or even find out why my blood pressure isnt what it should be. But I can try to loose some weight. I lost 20lbs in 2009, then slipped off my diet + put every pound on. I want to have more years of activity. loosing those lbs might help ps I have a Hennessy ASYM.
@romanbrough Like I …
@romanbrough Like I would not notice I was over weight after knee surgery then a major back surgery. Lets compare lives I was a perfect specimen when I was 20 onward 35 I am hit by a tornado. I am what you would call a has been you are probably a never was nor will be. Weight isn’t the only determining factor when it comes to heart disease. I Just read a book how full is you bucket according to it you are a prime candidate for an early grave. You never know when its your turn to loose.
The best survival …
The best survival tip I can give is to loose weight. Get fit. Avoid heat attacks, strokes etc etc.
I also have one of …
I also have one of these hammocks and I’ve found it to be very comfortable (sleeping on the diagonal). Spraying the bottom with DEET will stop the mossies, but on fabrics I think Permethrin treatments last longer (months). It packs small, and weighs bugger all.
Look in my …
Look in my favorites you will see some more applications of hammocks. Stealth camping at its finest. When you are camping in the wild like that you want to be up out of the way less likely to encounter folks into destruction. Police rarely look up into the trees for homeless people usually search the ground and bug those bums. Get high and stay dry. Climbing rope is pricy but cheaper than a night in jail or a week in the hospitol.
Google mosquito …
Google mosquito hammock. Or you can just google hammock. There are many types of camping hammocks the best of the best is supose to be a Clark hammock they are pricy but offer a layer below you to keep your boots and bugs out. I hammock can be used in the swamp between trees over the water you need no land only things to tie off. So if you wanted to boat in the swamp sleep there bug free you could do it I would keep one of these on a boat if I went in the wild regularly. This and a h20 filter.

The Mosquito Hammock has a double layer bottom, so are you sure mosquitoes bite through that???
When I was young …
When I was young and I was going to and from work each day the cops would hassle me. They target anything on a bike or walking.
When I was an adult in my 30’s and was homeless for a few nights the police would hassle me.
I now have an associates degree nearly own my home and drive everywhere I go the police never bother me they target the poor and the weaker in society. That is the young and the homeless. Police have been bullies in the past perhaps they are screening them better WTF IDK.

True it was tossed up in a hurry not in anticipation of rain I have yet to test it in rain. It works for what I bought it for it is an emergency shelter I have no desire to use it in the rain unless there is no other choice open.

Look up mosquito hammock you might be surprised how light this tent is I don’t want to misrepresent its weight but I can safely say below 3 lbs.

a little too much to haul on bike trips..sweet design though
We had to evacuate …
We had to evacuate for Gustov and a hammock camme in handy. My wife and I slept in the bunk of the bigtruck head to toe and the kid slept in a hammock streatched across the interior of the truck from the upper sleeper to the driver side mirror. We were cramped but the kid slept perfectly she had the best place to sleep. Later on we strung up both hammocks under the trailer and it was comfortable but not completely from the elements we would need to establish a way to stay dry if it were raining.
after knee surgery …
after knee surgery I put on the weight I was up to 335 at one point I have lost what to some would be a lot of weight but I need to loose at least this much more. In a month I lost 25 lbs. I now have a job driving a flatbed truck and get a good daily workout withthis job. Should I stay 310 for long I will return to my 30 min Cardio walk. My goal is to get down to250 and look like a football running back again. Thanks for the reply get out and hike or bike its fun.
At one point I was …
At one point I was wondering if you were going to be able to get out, but you cut it out of the vid. Damn.
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the reply, I am back to work and loosing weight I hope to be back to 250 in a couple years. When I make it to that weight I will no longer need the heavy duty equipment. I am feeling better getting stronger and more active next I will exercize regularly that will really make a difference. Plan to try the Hennesy under 300 thanks a bunch.
Hennessy Hammocks …
Hennessy Hammocks are great quality and they have a Safari model that handles my 350 lbs just fine. They also have insulation addons to make for extreme weather camping. Best hammock setup I have ever seen or used, might be something just as good out there too but I haven’t seen it.
