Another well slept hammock night. Slept like a baby after sauna and hot tub and ~ 02.00 BBQ supper: in the morning I woke up without having shifted or moved one bit – still holding the tin I keep my earplugs in :D

That looks like a lovely spot. Very tidy setup

Last time I tried hammock camping I rolled around a bit much. Had some mozzies biting through the hammock and the trees weren't ideal but would try again

Having an underquilt helps a bunch with mosquito attacks through the hammock!

Yeah, I imagine so. I was in Kakadu so it wasn't a desirable option 😄

The main issue was finding suitable trees without termites or green ants through them. Less of a problem in your beautiful lake spot

Have you tried using a hammock with an integrated bug net or getting a seperate bug net that goes over the hammock - total game changer for keeping those annoying mozzies away while still enjoying the comfort!

The one I have has an integrated net. 👍🏼
