3. BRIEF TEST PLAN: My testing will take place mainly in the Midwest with trips to Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and of course the Hoosier National Forest in Southern Indiana. My trips will include several multi-day camping and backpacking trips already planned for the next few months. I have been fascinated with hammock camping ever since the Warbonnet and Hennessy test calls several years ago and am really excited to give it a try with the opportunity to test this hammock. Having always been a tent camper my perspective will hopefully help those, who like me, have never hung in the trees before. My interest in hammock camping is three fold: first is the potential to lighten my pack load considerably; second is to hopefully shorten the time I spend setting up and tearing down camp each day and third, I'm very interested to see how comfortable this hammock is to sleep in. My test strategy will be to evaluate this hammock's pack weight and size, easy of setup and tear down, comfort, and finally durability. Other things I'll evaluate during testing include how much room is available for my shoulders and any bedding/insulation needed for cool weather and also how much space does the hammock take up when stuffed in my pack?
In case it's not obvious, I'm very excited about the opportunity to test the CamoNest Hammock. Thank you for considering my application and thanks to Eagles Nest Outfitters for providing this hammock for testing.
