Hammock

The material quality is about what you would expect for the price. There are no carabiners included and it instead comes with hooks. That being said it is more comfortable than far more expensive ones. Ditch the hooks use carabiners. These hammocks do not pinch you inward making it very comfortable.



A tip to you campers use just one line between points (utilize a prusik knot for tension) and let the hammock drape from that single rope. You can now use that same line for your rain fly or your mosquito netting. You save on weight and you don't have to cut your rope.



I uploaded video to a popular website (wink) of the hammock and how to use the single line method with a mosquito net! I tried posting the links but Amazon deleted them. Search under "Grand Trunk Ultra Light Hammock" and you should be able to find 3 of them.





If it came with carabiners I would have given 5 stars.More detail ...

Not a hammock

Ok so I ordered this naively. Those of you liked this product have never laid in a hammock. There is this incredible womb-like property a hammock has mostly because the material of the hammock assumes your shape and because of that heady swaying motion that almost on contact transports you to a warm fuzzy place. This is not that. This is a cot. The material is a hard resin with no give and more importantly there are four points of contact not the two that a hammock traditionally has i.e. NO SWAY whatsoever. I was soooo disappointed. Nicely made but it's a nicely made cot not a hammock. I wouldn't say it's even remotely like the experience of laying in a hammock.More detail ...

Wonderful way to keep cool in the pool or lake

I was lucky enough to try this product at a friend's pool one day and decided I had to get one for our summer vacation on a lake. It is very easy to get on unlike many other pool floats and actually cradles you slightly below the surface of the water allowing you to remain cool in the sun. Only the outside inflates so even without a pump it is easy to inflate. The center of the float is mesh so aboout 3 inches of water envelopes you when you get in. It worked just as well on a lake as in the pool and is highly recommended for comfort- I had to fight the entire family for possession! Another great feature is that once the air is out if folds up flat for easy carrying and storage. I am going to order more for my family's vacation next year....More detail ...

Very comfortable hammock

It's very comfortable compared to the open ones where parts of you hang through no matter how you lay. I bought one for a friend and then had to have one for myself.More detail ...

Well Made

Strong strap good heavy hardware. If you use it (or anything else) on pine trees you'll have to clean it up.



Regarding another reviewer's comment: no you're not stuck with too long or too short a tail. Here's what to do.



Begin by holding the loop on the tree and wind around the tree until you get to the ring end.



Stop at the "too long" setting pass the ring through the loop and continue around the tree IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. At some point you'll have the length you need - however it will probably be pointing in a wrong direction. Note where it's pointing!



Now undo it all and begin again but this time start the loop end at a point on the tree where after you've wrapped it all the ring end will point in your desired direction (toward the hammock).



If you think you'll use the same tree again mark the starting point with a small notch on the tree and hanging the hammock will be a snap.

Sturdy and Comfortable

When I got ready to get a hammock for our frequent camping trips I opted for the Texsport La Paz Hammock because it was made of cotton. My previous hammock was a polyester one and it was very uncomfortable and sweaty.



This hammock is a dream. The material is sturdy the hammock is light and takes up little space. It comes in a handy travel pouch and it is very VERY comfortable for one person or a petite person with a child. If you are looking for a hammock that will fit 2 adults you may want to look for another one - even though 2 adults may fit it will not be comfortable. Otherwise this hammock is a great deal and great for camping trips due to its light weight and convenient travel pouch.More detail ...

Very Handy

While this is a very simple design it does the job very well. Once you have it on the stand it is much easier to navigate the hammock if you lift and pull vs. trying to push it. My wife can move the hammock on her own now. Nice product.More detail ...
