That looks overpriced, also they don't show you anything about how you hang it, I would suggest it would be like a gathered end hammock but with no explanation I'm pretty lost here.

If you're looking to save money you could get a grand trunk for 19.00 or so http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Trunk-GT-05-Ultralight-Hammock/dp/B001AIBJSI

Or you could get an ENO for the price of the hammock you list http://www.amazon.com/Eagles-Nest-Outfitters-SingleNest-Hammock/dp/B001DDPG9I/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1346975200&sr=1-1&keywords=ENo just make sure you get the 42 dollar one.

All three of these hammocks are going to need a suspension system. You can read all about that here http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=86

Now if you're not going camping and just going to hang in the back yard I would suggest the texsport la paz
http://www.amazon.com/Texsport-14258-La-Paz-Hammock/dp/B000P9GZUA/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1346975458&sr=1-1&keywords=tex+hammock probably the best backyard napper around.

Hope all this information helps.

TL/DR Don't get a hammock from these people, there are way cheaper, lighter, and better options for camping and also for the back yard.

I'll second the Brazilian hammock suggestion. I'm a warm sleeper and the all-cotton nature seems to be the most comfortable to me.

I've slept in a Mayan as well, which is also very comfortable. I don't care for the materials used in camping hammocks, though, so those are off
my list.

I use a small pillow behind my head and a tiny pillow under my knees. I also was a stomach sleeper, but find I can sleep quite comfortably on my back diagonally on a hammock. The head being slightly higher helps.

I don't bolt mine into the walls. I have a compact hammock stand. It's similar to this one. I find a good cotton Brazilian hammock will last about a year or year and a half and then I replace it when it gets too stretched out or some of the strings start fraying. You can buy a good one for $50-125 though, which I think is reasonable for a year's worth of good sleep.

great club idea! I'm a novice, but I've got a cheap hammock that I love. the brand is yes4all and I got it on Amazon.

it's cheap yet durable, I have one and it's great! been using it regularly since Christmas (I know not too long) and I've yet to find something wrong with it! I've had 450lbs in it, which is the upper limit, and had no problems. iirc on Amazon the cheapest is a single for like $12. I got a double and tree straps so mine came out to about $25 (you can choose different options). also certain colors are more expensive. brb with a link!

edit [here ya go!] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00XVDWQNC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468995414&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=hammock+yes4all&dpPl=1&dpID=415N4-AKvrL&ref=plSrch). looks like they're a few bucks more than when I bought mine, but still decent pricing!

Amazon has [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G3ZURYU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468995512&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=hammock&dpPl=1&dpID=41ckWpx8gbL&ref=plSrch) too for fairly cheap, but more expensive than yes4all. I don't have personal experience with them though :/

good luck!

Hammock:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053T7FVK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Stand(stand can be bought without hammock, probably a link on the page somewhere):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AXN35WY/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

support:
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4429894

Tools needed:
Hands.

Stand comes with wingnuts which are ridiculously easy to install by hand (really, no skill is needed), hammock has hooks on the end, use the supports (one on either side) and simply attach one hook to the other and tighten/loosen as needed.

Stand can support up to 450 lb, the supports can support 500 lb each, hammock can support 400 lb.

Please note, I personally cannot sleep all night in a hammock. Possibly the setup is bad or perhaps I just am incapable of sleeping more than 4 hours in one of these... If you test this setup feel free to tell me that the setup is good and I just suck at sleeping in non-bed things.

I have an 11' NylonD in Olive Green. So much more comfortable than the short 8.5ft hammock I bought from Amazon. Much nicer material too.

Here's a picture of my NylonD with my Best Man's Red/Black ENO DoubleNest and another groomsman's Yukon Outfitters Black/Gray Double.

I put together my own suspension: 2 Omega Pacific Rappelling Rings on Dutchware 15" Amsteel Continuous Loops at each end, paired with Dutchware 12' Polyester Tree Straps and Black Diamond Positron Bent Gate carabiners.

I'm considering swapping out the 15" Amsteel loops for 8" loops. The extra length really isn't necessary.

u/aidanpryde18 · 1 pointr/Hammocks

Another option for a tarp if you don't want to or dont have time to put a lot of DIY work in would just be to buy a cheap utility tarp. A 6x8 tarp, hung in a "Diamond" shape would give you a 10 foot ridgeline. An 8x8 tarp would give you an 11' 8" rigeline.

This is obviously going to be a lot heavier that tyvek or plastic drop cloths, but it already has grommets attached so it is stow and go. It can be strapped to the backpack versus going inside of it so that it doesn't take up any pack space.

Definitely pick up a bug net though, getting eaten alive is no fun, especially on a longer hike like that.

One thing you might also look into is doing a permethrin treatment to your clothes and hammock/bugnet. You can buy the Sawyer spray at many outdoors stores. This works on ticks and mosquitos as well as other biting and stinging bugs.

u/Flying_Yeti2 · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

I'm not a fan. This is a bit more expensive but cheaper than ENO and just as great: http://www.amazon.com/Hammaka-Parachute-Lightweight-Portable-Hammock/dp/B00016HY02/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407718928&sr=8-1&keywords=Hammaka+hammock
I recommend this to everyone that asks for a price friendly ham mocking solution.

u/madmatttt · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

Thanks for the info guys, I got some private messages and that combined with your comments helped me pick out this to go with my Eagle's Nest Outfitter's Doublenest Hammock. I'll be putting... well, something! underneath the metal support bars to protect my hardwood floors.

Thanks everybody!

u/xchriswhitex · 1 pointr/Hammocks

Check into Hennessy Hammocks. They're well built. I use an ENO but several friends have Hennessy and love them.

Here's one for reference

u/biggyww · 1 pointr/Hammocks

I live in CO and hike almost exclusively at altitude, but I still use a bug net. Better safe than miserable, IMHO. Fire WILL NOT keep the bugs away. A far better option for repelling the bugs would be treating your sleeping equipment with repellent like this : http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Premium-Permethrin-Clothing-Repellent/dp/B007VCRX2S. I've never tried it, but I've heard good things.

u/cyberjedi42 · 9 pointsr/Hammocks

Hey, a fellow fat hanger! I am 6'5 and 350. Been sleeping 100% on a hammock for over 4 years now.

First, I started off with the hammock stand that /u/Nicktav already linked to (Amazon Link). I used this for about a year. I actually bent it over time. Got another one, bent it too, then decided to do something else.

Next, came this. And this has been going three years strong.
https://imgur.com/a/P3Vns#0

I love it!! No issues with me and this misses (and even the little one) all in at the same time.

The the picture is a bit out of date. I hung a TV on the left wall, so I can hang and watch before sleeping.

The hammock I use is the Grand Trunk Double. 4 years of 350lb nightly sleeping and it hangs like new.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/Hammocks

I have one of these.

I haven't slept on it for extended periods as my living situation doesn't allow it currently, I did use it for a few nights to make sure it was comfortable and something I wanted to keep. I enjoyed it greatly and it allows you space and plenty of adjustment.

u/kinetogen · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

Yes. (You will end up wet from Dew-fall, and they protect you from bird shit.) Bare minimum, I'd take something like this with. They can sometimes be found for $20 on WOOT, just gotta keep an eye out. I own one. Decent tarp for $20, probably wouldn't pay $40 though, because you can buy a Hennessy Hammock - Hex Rainfly for $62 and it's a great tarp. A bit on the heavier side, but if you're not doing the whole hiking thing and just car camping, it's sturdy and very big.

u/dcs619 · 1 pointr/Hammocks

Better is entirely subjective. Do you want a brand that everyone else has or are you fine being a lone wolf? I've had a Hammaka Double for 10 years and never once had an issue with it. I've heard people recommend the Bear Butt Double too.


+1 for the double, whatever brand you get. It's nice to have the extra diagonal space if you're tall.

u/Landoperk · 3 pointsr/Hammocks

I use these. I actually store my tarp in it but it can be used for anything. The XL fits my 12ft tarp perfectly.

u/snoogins355 · 1 pointr/Hammocks

I got an OuterEQ Hammock as a reddit secret santa gift a few years ago. I use it all the time for chilling after work or taking a break on a day hike in the woods. The bag it comes in functions as a pocket when you use it, perfect for holding a beer and whatever essentials you need for chilling.

That's the one I have. I'm 6'2". I originally bought this one for casual hanging around and planned on buying a cotton mayan style for sleeping, but I thought I'd give this one a try before buying a second one! I'll do some measuring and get back to yah, thanks

Snake skins are like a stuff sack for your rain fly, they really help with set up a and take down time

u/ductape98 · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

This is a spreader bar hammock not a mayan hammock most commonly seen on this subreddit. the spreader bar negates most benefits of a hammock; it makes it weigh more (4 lbs. opposed to about 2 for a mayan hammock with bug net and tarp), it will topple easily, and probably leave you with a sore back in the morning. This hammock setup also costs $140, for this price you could buy similar mayan setup like this one or choose from many other options.

u/Suspendedskinnykid · 1 pointr/Hammocks

I seriously love the Chinook 9.6'x12' tarp. tie offs are great, long enough to make doors, and wide enough for two. A bit on heavier side, but is still light and packable. I can pack it down to about the size of a 40oz beer

u/inxanetheory · 1 pointr/Hammocks

You could always buy a relatively cheap hammock stand or build one. Yes it would be a bit more to carry around it it can be used indoors or outside. I sleep in a hammock on a stand similar to this instead of a bed and it's alright.

u/iamphloyd · 1 pointr/Hammocks

This might work for you, and you don't have to make any permanent holes in the walls or ceiling. http://www.amazon.com/Vivere-15BEAM-BLK-3-Beam-Hammock-15-Feet/dp/B002URUA38/ref=pd_tcs_subst_lg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0E8E97V7WBJWN6235M2J

This is what I ended up doing for my bedroom setup. https://www.reddit.com/r/Hammocks/comments/1nntp5/bedroom_hammock_setup_done/ I don't sleep in it all the time, mostly for naps. Also whenever my back is a bit sore from work or whatever.

Good luck!

u/totaldrk62 · 3 pointsr/Hammocks

I've been using mine in the BWCA for about 4 years now. Things I've learned:

  • We go in August and it can get chilly at night. A sleeping mat is essential if you don't want a cold backside.

  • If you don't have a hex cover for your gear or a smaller rainfly for your hammock your gear may get wet. I've been caught out in storms and the original rainfly for my Hennessy wasn't quite enough ground coverage and ended up with some damp gear. I upgraded to the hex fly and have been golden. A separate tarp for gear will also work.

  • You might have to think out of the box on some sites with smaller trees. I had to hang basically over a 5 or 6 foot drop at one site with poor tree coverage. It was either hang there or basically hang way back in the forest.

  • I use Atlas Straps, climbing rings and caribeaners for my hang. I typically have my hammock set up in about 2 minutes. The Atlas straps give me a TON of length to hang, so I can hang just about everywhere up there.

    I can't really think of much else. If you don't have a bug net life is going to suck, but I think anyone using a hammock in the BWCA knows that. I'll never go back to a tent in the BWCA. Using a hammock up there is amazing.
u/paradox4286 · 1 pointr/Hammocks

I have this one from Amazon. Under $18 and has held up well for me. I really like mine, and for that price, I figured it was worth a gamble. I've spent $18 on far worse things.

u/nicktav · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

I bought this one

I'm 6'3 320lbs and this is pretty comfortable to me.

u/Oreganoian · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

You can buy steel tube hammock stands on Amazon for ~$70. They usually come with a decent cloth hammock + carrying case. They come apart easily. IMO it's a better option than building one.

I've been sleeping in a cheap Amazon hammock stand for 3 months now with no complaints.

https://www.amazon.com/Double-Hammock-Saving-Portable-Carrying/dp/B00Y80MYC0/ this is mine. I even use the cloth hammock that came with it. I'm 6'1", 180lbs and don't have any issues.

Nothing simpler than just drilling holes in the wall and using an indoor hanging kit like this: https://www.amazon.com/Eagles-Nest-Indoor-Hanging-Silver/dp/B00DVE2AW8/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=eno+hanging+kit&qid=1559307857&s=gateway&sr=8-4

All you need is a few sturdy wall studs 10+ feet apart, a drill, and maybe a stud finder.

Or you could just opt for a standard metal stand that you can find at WalMart or Home Depot or wherever. That should be long enough to get a decent hang, I think.

u/ho_merjpimpson · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

i mean, this dude is looking for a temporary solution for a few months, and you're trying to direct him towards expensive lightweight stuff for camping, when a $15 amazon hammock and straps would work fine. /u/LimitedWard ... if you arent looking for a permanant setup, look at one of these

https://smile.amazon.com/CUTEQUEEN-Ultralight-Outfitters-Parachute-Backpacking/dp/B00Q2GQ3R0/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=cutequeen+11+hammock&qid=1569517138&s=gateway&sr=8-1

i have one and its held up to some stupid levels of abuse from drunk friends, sugar high children, and some heavyweights.

as for your anchors etc, i havent got a clue. personally id probably go for a stand since you are in an apartment and probably cant make major modifications required for hanging a hammock.

https://smile.amazon.com/Sunnydaze-Hammock-Heavy-Duty-Construction-Capacity/dp/B00K7HEA4S/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1DFTWTZQVQUPU&keywords=11%2Bhammock%2Bstand&qid=1569517288&s=gateway&sprefix=11%2Bhammock%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-6&th=1

the stand is going to be the pricey part tho... i got mine on sale for like $50, but i had the option to wait... im sure you are trying to do this asap.

and id personally get the 15' to give the straps some room to absorb the vibrations.

and i get it, i started with saying go cheap and now im saying go expensive... but if you go the wall anchor route, be very careful. hammocks exert a LOT of lateral force. walls werent meant to hold laterally, and if you have plaster walls, with crappy old studs... well... use caution for sure.

you can also make a stand quite cheaply if price is a concern.

u/tward1220 · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

I have been using this one for the last 2 years. It is a little on the short side but it works fine with the hammock I sleep in every night.

u/carefact0rzero · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

I ditched the stock rope on my Eno and customized it a bit. I got some Amsteel blue and made a continuous loop that passes through the channel and a rap ring. Finished product looks like this. You will never have to worry about a knot coming loose again with this setup, and it makes hanging the hammock a breeze, just clip a carabiner to the rap rings and you're done.

u/ccchans · 7 pointsr/Hammocks

I temporarily moved into my friend's place and was tired of sleeping on my sleeping pad. I couldn't hang my Yukon Outfitters, so I bought the Vivere Double from Amazon.


The stand so far shows no sign of bending, but I definitely would not swing in it. I saw the end poles sway when I tried swinging a bit, leading me to believe it was going to bend.


The suspension is anchored down by these J-hooks screwed into the outside of the end poles. There are 6 holes placed throughout the length of the pole, but there is a downside. I would have loved to screwin at the highest hole for a deeper sag, but the tightener scrapes against the rope. Placing the J-hooks any lower than the second makes the hammock too flat.


For those who wish to hang other hammocks off of this stand, the J-hooks can be placed lower to accommodate longer suspension lines. For this hammock in particular, those bottom 4 holes are unnecessary. Except maybe to make it lighter ;)

Yukon Outdoors double is 11'6"x 6'4" (2" wider than eno double) with 300 lb limit, 21 oz carry weight for $35 shipped.

u/OwDoge · 2 pointsr/Hammocks

These are the hooks I use. I used normal eyehooks the first time I hung my hammock indoors, and the portion that came out from the wall, about an inch or so, bent downwards over time. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DVE2AW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_F4Wvzb1SCG2DA
