Canoe with a View : : Canadian Open Canoe forum

i first tried my hammock with my thermarest

when laid on my back it really stood the test

i felt like a change and when i rolled

it wasnt long till' i felt the cold

*

if you like to lay upon your side

off your mat you'll slip and slide

*

i found the answer with a bit of advice

from a mountain man that i met once or twice

"they dont come cheap, but they're worth every penny

check out BCUK to see if theres any"

*

his name's Wild Bill and he's a real good sort

i took his advice, and i got one bought

i handed out my money for it to be paid

then waited a while, cos' they're specially made

*

dont use paracord to hang it with

better using bungee cord to make it give

gently does it not too tight

nice and toastie you'll sleep all night

*

boiledbeef wrapped in a green cocoon

all you'll hear is a snoring tune

zip it up all nice and warm

no need to worry bout'the wind or a storm



all wrapped up like a pea in a pod

wont be long till your having a nod

if keeping warm is all you fear

check this out ive got one here



no more cold when you stick out yer arse

warmest comfort is never sparse

go down a storm on a C-waV meet

come check it out your in for a treat



my first impression is its very well made

with bcuk and snugpack boldly displayed

with a central zip that goes right along

with a baffle inside you cant go wrong



its not very bulky when its packed in its bag

just pull on the straps and compress it a tad




a little net pocket for your torch and sweets

like i mentioned before your in for a treat



i cant wait to test it while the snow still falls
with a hot water bottle to stick on me

ill let you all know how i go on
but after first impressions, you'll all want one...
