Oh yeah, got the hammock and been out a few times. No more ground dwelling for me! This is the way to go:
That lil satchel held the Hammock, a top and bottom of FroggToggs, a 1 liter Camelback bottle, all the little stuff like flashlight and deet, an additional water bottle, 80' of paracord, and tent stakes. . . beautifully.
I love camping..much prefer tent to caravan - you can wake up and just stick your head out in to the fresh air.
I prefer campsites with just the most basic facilities, with grass uncut etc - I hate all laid-out campsites...especially ones that are laid-out like towms with roads runninginbetween and kind of lamp=posts. You might almost as well stay at home.
It's probably a little difficult to go camping 'in the wild' in England, though I'm sure some people do..I would imagine there'd be someone come alomg and tell you you're not allowed - shame really cos we don't have to worry about bears, cougars etc here - although there have been sighting s over the years in certain places of big cats (maybe pumas) which they think may have been kept privately by people and let out onto moors and things.
Down here In Texas we have one park that's close to me that has screen shelters. Their like a mini cabin with partial screens on the front and two sides. Their awesome- my kids and I really enjoy them. Each one comes with a picnic table, BBQ pit, porch, and a place to park your vehicle. They also have water and electricity. They only cost $25 a nite which for me is worth it. We also use our tent sometimes, but we have found the shelters alot better to fend off the coons.
