HammakaParachute Nylon Portable Double Hammock, Army Green / Brown

I bought the trek light hammock first, but then I found this hammaka hammock for a real good deal, so I bought it to have a spare one. I was glad to see that this hammaka hammock can hold 50 more pounds then the trek light hammock and is lighter in weight and is at a cheaper price then the trek light hammock, but time will tell which hammock will hold up longer.The only two things I didn't like about this Hammaka hammock is the two small ropes on each end aren't extremely strong and the metal hooks on each end are slightly heavy. So I replaced the two end ropes with very strong ropes and I replaced the two metal hooks with four metal rings, that's two metal rings that are Girth Hitched onto the new ropes I put at each end of the hammock.Then I used two pieces of 15'foot heavy duty nylon webbing so I can wrap the two long pieces of nylon webbing around the two trees and then put the webbing through each end of the two metal rings, then I can very quickly lift the hammock into the exact height I want it at. This way if the hammock is too high or too low or one side is too much higher then the other side, I can very quickly and easily adjust the hammock by sliding the webbing through the two rings.To wrap the webbing around the trees I form a bite in one end of the webbing that is a long enough bite to be able to tie a simple over hand knot in that bite and this forms a loop. Then I wrap the webbing around the tree and put the webbing through that loop and pull it on through until the webbing is securely against the tree. Then I put the working end of the webbing through the two metal rings and then partially through the two metal rings again in the same direction, but this time on the second pass through you bring the webbing out the middle of the two metal rings and then the webbing will jam and not come unjammed until you bring the rings apart slightly, but the webbing will only jam up when pulled in one direction and run freely in the other direction.To understand how I'm using the two metal rings better, look at this video on youtube.'The Best Way to Hang a Hammock || Rap Rings'But instead of using rope like he's using in the video to go through the two rings, I'm using the nylon webbing to go through the two rings.Being in this hammock or the trek light hammock is extremely relaxing and so when I get in, I don't want to get back out.If you want a mosquito net for your hammock buy the netting from Eno, not from trek light. Eno's netting is vastly superior to trek lights mosquito netting.

SSo I got this hammock, it didn't come in a box like in one of the pictures. I inspected it and it appears to be new. The ropes that go through the end loops weren't installed but they were in the built in stuff sak. They were too short to work with, so I got some climbing rope, cut 2 new pieces. 2x length. I had to look at my old eagles nest to learn some cool new knot, but I installed them perfectly and it looks great. Same quality as an eagles nest or grand trunk minus a few bux. Ultimately I subtracted 2 stars for the unfinished ends and no box, but +1 for the opportunity to customize my hammock end ropes. The olive/wood color sceme is the best for outdoorsmaning. Speaking of, every outdoorsman should watch nutnfancy while hanging out in one of these.

love it. very sturdy. . the lines at the ends seem to be breaking or coming apart -the white fibers are showing through the cord in certain spits where the stress of weight was.

After years of schlepping around a tent, rain fly, ground cloth and sleeping pad just to get a decent nights rest in the bush, I decided to take a chance with the Hammaka Double Hammock. My goal was to cut weight and bulk to my pack, while maintaining some level of comfort and protection from the elements. Coupled with the Chinook 9x12 tarp, you can't beat the set up.First, the hammock is super light. I placed it on a food scale and it came in right around a pound. Most of that weight are the metal hooks attached to the hammock (it comes with 2 more crappy carabiner-type hooks, but I discarded those). It also folds up into its own little pouch, which saves on weight as well.When I got in the hammock, I wasn't sure it would hold all my weight (190 lbs), as it doesn't feel like it should. But it did, as well as the weight of a woman I met out on the trails as well.When setting it up, make sure the hammock is stretched straight across, with no slack in it. Too much slack and your butt will be on the ground. Also, don't worry about $20 commercial hanging straps. I cut (2) 6' lengths and (1) 10' length of 2" nylon webbing, and between those lengths I have yet to find a place I can't set up.Finally, the only downside to the hammock is it can be a bit difficult to get into the sleeping bag. I'm 6'2", and I have to squirm quite a bit to get in the bag. I can get in it though, and the comfort level is unmatched.Also, this might be a bit unnerving to people not used to sleeping exposed in the bush, even with the tarp over it. Don't think your wife or girlfriend is going to enjoy this.

We tried to sit 2 adults in the hammock and SNAP!!! The ropes at both ends broke simultaneously. The hammock material seems fine and could support the weight, but the included rope ends are weak. We may try repairing with paracord. Luckily, the hammock was only about a foot off the ground when it broke. The other thing damaged was our egos.

I'm a big guy, and I got the double because of the 400lb weight capacity (just for the record, I don't weigh anywhere near 400lbs, but i know it's better to be safe than sorry). I took it on a hiking trip and was very pleased with how easy it was to set up, and how comfortable it was to sleep in, up off the ground in a nice little cocoon of silk. I thought it was great, right until, about 3:00 AM when I shifted a little bit and the thing just flat split in half and left me on the cold dark ground. Also it was the first night of a planned four day trip, which was immediately shortened.I'm thinking about getting another hammock but I'm going to look for a ripstop nylon model instead of silk.

This hammock was great for the price. We hung it where the swings usually go on a swing set. The kids like it that way and I feel confident in the strength of the product.

cocoons you while you're in it and is not easy to get out of.
