I've always preferred horizontal to vertical, and that preference has increased with age. From my earliest youth and throughout a professional office career, I could not study, read or talk on the telephone without having my feet on the table or desk. Now, I'd rather be in bed than a chair; and if a chair, it must recline.
So I began hauling a fairly heavy reclining chair on canoe trips about 12 years ago. But it isn't horizontal enough. So I'm thinking about a hammock.
I do NOT want to sleep in the hammock at night. Tents-R-me.
However, I would like to string up a hammock for lounging, reading, sipping Uncle Lee's decaffeinated green tea, gazing and lazing. Something lightweight, inexpensive, easy to set up and take down, and comfortable. Since I'm not going to sleep in it at night, I don't need the special tarps, quilts and other hammock gear mania.
Suggestions, experience, thoughts and pictures would be appreciated.
