| Pea Pod Bed I use a unique sleeping bag made to fit around the hammock. I actually string the hammock through my sleeping bag! I call it my "Pea Pod Bed"; it keeps me as warm and snug as a bug in a rug! Pea Pod Sleeping Bag Around Hammock Yes, it does look funny; just like a sleeping bag floating in the air! The Pea Pod Sleeping Bag has drawstring closures on both ends that allow it to fit symmetrically around the hammock. Full-length hook and loop fasteners give easy access and allow the sleeping bag to be placed completely around a previously set up hammock. Of course, the sleeping bag can be easily used by itself for those times when the hammock is not used. The Pea Pod Sleeping Bag also doubles as a convenient robe for use in camp. Since it opens symmetrically at both ends, the bag easily converts to a super-warm robe and saves weight and bulk by eliminating the need for extra camp clothes. Pea Pod Sleeping Bag Worn as a Robe A
custom-made version of this bag can be ordered from Speer Hammocks, Inc.
(see the information box).Used alone or in combination with a light blanket
and a thin extra-wide sleep pad, the Pea Pod Sleeping Bag makes a warm
nest for most three-season camping. As temperatures drop, replacing the
light blanket with increasingly warmer ones and adding another sleep pad
(such as a thicker yet shorter and narrower pad) makes a sensible system
for hammock warmth. See the rest of this websection for even more ways to
stay warm. |
