Tim The weights on the light stand were just enough to keep the hammock from blowing over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted January 14, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 14, 2021 Very nice! I didn't not realize they made these during the VN war, I just have seen the WW II era ones and have a couple. Always heard they wern't used much, afraid they would get bayonetted in the middle of the night. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKW These weighed almost 4 pounds so they came up with an M-1966 model Jungle Hammock that was just over one pound. They trapped humidity inside, making them uncomfortable, but then I would imagine any sleeping system for jungle combat is not going to be a good night's rest.
