The world needs more love
Do any of you enjoy relaxing in a hammock?
I just recently bought one and find it quite peaceful.

During WW 2, most of the Royal Canadian Navy's ships had slung hammocks, not bunks. The sailors slung their "micks " from the overhead bars in the ship's living spaces. During the day, while at sea, only the "night watch " could be sleeping in their hammocks, as the other crew members ate their meals at the mess tables below the hammocks. When not in use, the hammocks were stored in cribs along the bulkhead of the mess. In action, rolled micks could be used as "damage control materials " to stop water leaks caused by enemy gunfire. The only beds on most RCN ships were for the officers, and especially the Commanding Officer, who had two places to sleep. The "Sea Cabin " which was right next to the bridge, and the more spacious CO's harbour cabin was near the stern of the ship. JimB.

Yes, I love relaxing in a hammock with a good book. I especially love lying in a hammock when I go camping.

I could never get into using hammocks.

When I was married, we had a hemp hammock we bought in Mexico and hung it in our little wooded area off the lawn. It was so nice!

During my young adult years, I had a couple of Pawley's Island Rope Hammocks and really enjoyed them.
Deployed during the Gulf War, I had a hammock onboard ship and slept in my shop on the 03 level.
With mines a possibility, I wasn't going to sleep in berthing below the waterline.

My favorite thing in the entire world was napping on my mother's screened porch in her big hammock when there was rain falling and it was cool. She had a great big sheepskin on the hammock and a nice blanket to wrap up in. Paradise. I would be in a coma immediately.

My mom had a hammock just like this. It looked really comfortable but nobody was allowed on it but her. If I were to get a hammock it would have to be this style or my hair would get all caught up in it.
Hammocks do not like me, they flip me off!!! LOL
