I had enough parachute material during my week in Africa to make this hammock and
another shelter.
Arid Regions, Deserts, and Canyons
These are environments where you should have the benefit of rock
overhangs and caves, usually lots of them. Early American bandits and
gunslingers used the cave systems of the West as their hideaways for
decades.
Staying out of the rain is not of particular concern in the desert,
so shelter becomes less important in that respect. Where shelter plays a
vital role, however, is in keeping you out of the sun and the wind. Rocky
