i found a terrific book(or at least it seems that way from what i have read) about making hammocks for camping, and many different tecqnuikes for camping with a hammock, and camping without leaving any traces, etc.  i would like to buy that book, but it will have to wait.

Speaking of hammocks, I am trying to find a repro Civil War Naval Hammock or at least a good pattern. I had some patterns and my file got messed up somehow. Now I can't find where I found them at. Anyone know where I can find authentic CW naval hammocks?
Thanks,

I think they were pretty basic, white canvas and rope. I will do some checking and let you know.

Go to www.seasidehammocks.com/navalhammock.html ;   As most navies followed the example of the Royal Navy, you should be able to get some ideas about a civil war naval hammock from this article.
