sleeping in a hammock

[Raleigh]

Has any one ever slept in a hammock for a week? I could see maybe a night or two but not sure if it would become uncomfortable after a few days. I don't own one but think going the hammock route for a weeklong bow elk hunt.

Thanks

Best sleep youll ever get in the mountains.Important to have a good insulated layer between your sleeping bag and hammock

I just got back from Colorado and I slept in it for 4 nights. It is 1000 times more comfortable than a tent.

Most of the guys from the extreme hunt sleep in them.

My brother sold his bed and sleeps in a hammock every night. He loves it

Never really slept in one. But I remember a thread on here where some guys wife posted some pics of him in a pro curious slumber. Looked very comfortable to me

I just slept in one during a 5 day/4 night rafting trip in Colorado. Done it for the past 5 years for 4-5 nights.
I added an underquilt to mine and like I even better now. The longer the hammock is, the more comfortable you will be. You sleep on a diagonal, so you can get flat.
PM me if you have any questions, I know way more about hammocks than I should.

I have for the past three years elk hunting, string it up between two trees and put a tarp over it between the same two tree ten style. If its going to be cool make sure you bring a sleeping pad to put in between your bag and the hammock, froze my but off the first year. Would hammock camp where ever we stopped at up high, and come down to base camp to resupply and wash up every three days or so.

What ones are y'all using? I'm looking to get a new one

We use them all the time! My longest stretch is probably 3 days while floating, but I haven't had any discomfort.

I hear really excellent reports on these blackbirds. "XLC" - if you are a larger fellow.

I can claim 4 nights in a row and state I was more comfortable than I would have been in a tent. Really like my warbonnet blackbird xlc.

I'd love to hear more about this trip!

I would suggest buying a hammock stand, and give it a try at home for a few days.
