Post your favorite picture of your hammock setup. Here's mine (my WBBB is under the tarp on the upper left) ...

Joyce Lake in Quetico Sept. 2011. I didn't bring enough cord so my tarp lines did double duty on this trip. *I can't recommend wooden clothes pins enough.

Nice to see I'm not the only one brings a kitchen tarp solo tripping when I could get by with just the one over my hammock. I thought maybe I was over the top on that one.

Is that a Spear winter tarp?

Man the Super Fly is HUGE! I have tarp envy.

Lynx Lake October 2011 I swear there is a Black Bird under the tarp:)

The tarp is a warbonnet Superfly, very similar to the Speer winter tarp. I really like it.

The kitchen tarp is one from Camp More that I had modified at thrifty outfitters to the diagrams in Cliff Jacobsen books. I really enjoy a big tarp to loaf around under during bad weather.

I have only had my hammock for two trips now so pictures are limited. Here is my setup on Ensign...

I know the feeling. I've had mine for a year now and I sleep in it often when I go up to my folk's lake home, but it's only been on one trip into the wilds!

This is a pic of mine and my sons hammock on Fire Lake in 2010.

Here is my hammock on Duncan Lake last year, I was actually over the water, had a large root to stand on while getting in. I love sleeping right next to the water, puts me right to sleep.

Kevin, that last photo is a very creative tarp rig. I may have to borrow that one.

Not my idea....Just borrowed it myself. After 4 nights in rain it was nice to be able to put it in front porch mode.

This was a week before our BWCA trip. I gotta say I have never slept better we stayed high & dry through some pretty brutal wind & rain.

Super happy with my setups & my brothers Flex-180 worked awesome for him & his 9 year old.

Just returned a couple days ago from a 10 day trip. Hands down, the best I've EVER slept while camping. My fat tired azz will never lay on the ground again lol.

A couple shots from our trip on Moon, Little Caribou and Canoe Lakes.

My hammock is a Claytor Jungle and my buddies is a Hennessy.

Some people see nature as being made "Just for them", and view others as an invasive species..... We are always hearing about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about Welfare running out of money? What’s interesting is the first group worked for their money .. the second group did not.” WTF???
