The humid subtropical climate of this region was filled with fetid swamps and disease-carrying bugs and bacteria, not to mention unbearable summer heat.

Sleeping outside on the frontlines, a hammock is your bed. It’s not your king size bed, but the military has made sure its outdoor sleeping gear is as functional as possible. On your next camping trip, a military grade hammock or sleeping bag will help you endure the elements and sleep more comfortably. Throw in a warm-n-dry blanket that resists wind and water and you not only have a warm sleeping blanket but a beach blanket.
