Would be great for a family camping trip, or maybe even for an overnight hike
Through the years I have used several hammocks, ranging from the little string mess camping version up through the full sized quilted monster you set up on your patio using a big metal frame.<br /><br />I have to say, this is the best of them yet.  It comes neatly packed in a little nylon bag with hooks and ropes coiled on top.  When you pull it out, it unfurls into a HUGE nylon hammock that would easily accommodate two reasonably slim people, or one person of larger size.  (It says it is rated to 440 lb, and I believe it.)<br /><br />It does not come with explicit set up instructions (but does point you to a website if you need them), but in all honestly, I didn't need them, I have been using hammocks for close to thirty years, and the concept is simple,  Find two tress suitable distance apart (in this case about 10 feet worked fine), wrap ropes around trees like a hitch (so they tighten with tension), attach hammock, and enjoy. Pro tip, put those end ropes up as high as you can, hammocks say and stretch out in the middle.<br /><br />I thought this hammock was pretty comfortable, much better than the string versions are.  It also wasn't as space consuming (and lots easier to set up) as the big metal framed versions.<br /><br />Packing it up was a breeze.  It easily stuffed back into the (attached) stuff sack, and the hardware fir nicely rolled up on top.<br /><br />This product is very lightweight, but seems well constructed, and seems like it would be quite durable, though I probably wouldn't leave it strung up in rain and weather too long.  I think it will last well if taken care of and packed up when not in use.  My family is going to enjoy this.<br /><br />I received one of these hammocks at a discounted price in return for an honest review.
