At ALDHA Ed Speer had his hammock on display with the "Pea Pod" in place.  It 
looks as if an empty backpack could be put into the "Pea Pod" under the 
hammock (thereby keeping it safe from predators) yet close at hand.  The 
convenience of a Speer Hammock with the removable Fly, Bug Net, etc., and the Pea Pod 
sleeping bag cover providing warmth is a winner.

I have a Deluxe Clark Jungle Hammock and find that the pockets under the 
hammock are very convenient.  I just place my Backpack next the to head end of my 
hammock leaning against the tree the hammock hangs on.    The fly on the 
Deluxe (extra large fly is 8x8) is large enough but the Speer is even larger 
(8x10).  Both flys are free standing so they can be hung at various heights 
depending if the night will be wet or clear.
