Kayaking and camping go hand in hand...and hammock camping can make it even easier and more enjoyable! No more struggling to find a smooth, level spot to pitch a tent...no sleeping on cold, hard, or wet ground...takes up less storage space than most tents. Hammock camping gear can be expensive, but doesn't have to be. In this video, I'll walk through my low-budget gear setup and provide a little insight into some upgrades that might be worth your time and a little bit of extra money. And easy?...I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery, so all the setup in this video (and the take down afterward) were all done mostly one-handed!

Total cost, at time of publishing this video, for the hammock (with rainfly and bug net), underquilt, topquilt, and snakeskin... $198.91 !!
