Now, that's a weird combination of topics on one title isn't it???lol
First, I'd like to get a hammock to take camping with me. Anybody got a recommendation on the best? I think I'd like to get one with mosquito netting given my appeal to mosquitos and my inability to tolerate them. If I don't need the net, I can flip the hammock over. Also, how do you attach your hammock in camp? Two trees? Do you have to worry about picking a campsite that has trees spaced the right distance apart?
Second, I'm thinking about adding a portable potty. It would just be for those middle of the night times when I don't want to make my way to the bath house in a campground. I'm not completely sure I want one in my tent. I know NOTHING about these things - how do they work? do they smell? are they a pain to clean and put away when you're ready to break down camp? The alternative is to get yet ANOTHER privacy structure (besides tent and screen house) to serve as a place to keep the potty which is ok since I've been thinking of adding a solar shower anyway. Just not sure I want to go to all that trouble given the short trips I'm able to swing. It would be different if I were going to leave camp set up for a week or more. Thoughts?
