Hammock Life

I like the look of that. Definitely another lightweight and portable option to consider. Thank you for sharing that.

Found a new stand I’m going to give a try. This guy came up with a really elegant and simple design that can be replicated using a lot of different materials. I’ll probably make mine from either EMT or 2x2s. I’ve seen examples of it being built in bamboo, fence post, and more exotic stuff. Looks like a natural for use by a vehicle since only one side needs to be staked down, or attached to the vehicle in my case.

Thats a good idea! A lot more portable than the stand you have to drive over with your vehicle.

I’m really liking this stand. First prototype made from (4) 8’ 2x2s to hold an 11’ hammock. Feels solid. I’ll keep experimenting to see if I can make it smaller and more portable.

I don't have any good pics but the two hammocks stay in the Jeep at all times. Never know when you will need one.

I keep a hammock in the truck for any occasion. Recently bought a portable stand two months ago. Seemed kinda sketchy so I set it up in my room for a short test and well it's all I've been sleeping since then so ima say it's a pass and win.

I usually use two of the rigs with racks to mount the hammocks. It tends to be the most stable option.

Live by the hammock, unfortunately I need trees or a side by side truck

I love my Hennessy Hammock. Its a little pricey, but it's got a built in bug net and a factory installed ridgeline. If you don't have a ridgeline on your hammock, I highly recommend putting one on yours. It loosens up the hammock a little bit and lets you sleep on a better diagonal. Plus you get to hand stuff on it! I've added it to every other hammock that I own and it turns a $20 hammock into a $60 one in terms of comfort. I use Lashit as my line since I've learned that paracord can't be trusted...

For an underquilt I'm using a Snugpak that I got off of Amazon. Price per performance is quite impressive, I must say. Not the lightest thing in the world, but if you're not back packing then its not that big of a deal.

No shortage of trees here...
