Stealth camping

   Ron and I have been trying to get to Hemlock Lake for an overnight camp out for a while and the opportunity finally presented itself. John offered to drop us off at the north end and we paddled south to Stoney Beach. It threatened thunder storms off and on all evening but although it rained most of the night it never got severe.
   It was the shake down trip for my new Exped Ergo Combi hammock tent and even though I didn't get it set up completely correctly I was warm and dry and very comfortable all night in the rain.

  The first pic is the camp site and my sling seat  The second pic is of Ron lazing about in his hammock on Sunday morning.

The final pic is of my Exped all buttoned down for heavy weather which fortunately we never got. I will get more shots and review the hammock camping methods later after I have spent a few nights in it and can get a good comparison to sleeping on the ground in a tent.
