Camping mat

[Hrusai]

personally i'd go for a decent nylon hammock (something like this http://www.heinnie.com/Tropical-Hammock/p-0-0-7795/)
and a small lightweight tarp and pitch it like this


if its really horrible weather, just make the tarp come down at a steeper angle so you get more sideways protection.

but if you wanna shell out some more money and get a real nice hammock, i've been eyeing up the hennesy hammock for some time, i've read countless reviews and videos and from everything ive seen its freaking excellent (though its about 100 quid, but it comes with its own tarp and has these "snakeskin" things that means it takes like 30 seconds to pack the whole hammock away and keep it really compact) heres the website hennessyhammock.com , but its not loading for me right now so it might be down ....but heres a video that shows a bit about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ZanTorCC8
