The camping hammock I bought not only seems like a good way to take a nap while back at my campsite, and it seems like an easy way to back country camp. It’s great for taking a nap, reading a book or playing on my smartphone. The hammock when folded up in its built in bag is about a third of the size of my day pack, it takes all of 30 seconds to assemble. Much smaller than a tent and a sleeping pad to say nothing about a sleeping bag and something to use as a pillow when tent camping.

I fell asleep in the hammock last weekend at camp, listening to a podcast. The walls of the hammock are high, almost like a cacoon, so it’s unlikely that one would roll out of it. It’s fairly comfortable but I do think a pillow or a something acting as a pillow can make it even more comfortable.

I have fairly broad shoulders and the sides of hammock put a bit of pressure on the shoulders although maybe I could try repositioning myself in the hammock to reduce the pressure on my shoulders. Not really uncomfortable but waking up I did find a bit of odd tightness in my shoulders. Using a pillow and stringing closer between trees that are closer does help a lot though.

The first hammock I got had a defective carabiners that broke the second time I used it but after I exchanged it the new one seems good with no issues with the carabiners and quite comfortable. Other than that the finish of the hammock seems good and able to hold my weight. I’m not sure how you can call it a double hammock – but then again I’m a big guy. After the exchange of the defective hammock, I’m quite happy with the product.
