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. 👍🏼
I can not sleep that close to water 😨
How come?

You got me! xD
Just a fear I have, can't really explain it
Jaws?
Meanwhile in Scotland, I stepped into my garden for five minutes this evening and now have at least five midge bites on my face.
We got those too... First bunch of bites at the start of summer get itchy but luckily the body acclimatises and shrugs off the later millions :D
