Every Camper Should Try THIS! Hammock Camping Spreader Bars!

2024 UPDATE: I've been working on developing my own BEAR ESSENTIALS HAMMOCK!
Should be available in September/October this year. Just working on the finals of it all!
Stay Tuned!

Hammock camping can be AMAZING!

I used to jump into one of those classic weaved hammocks and snooze for hours. But wake up a bit sore and crammed.

There are some pretty awesome setups out there, keep an eye out for a Bridge Hammock if your a side sleeper, and make sure it has a mosquito net, and slot to slide in a sleeping pad.

Also test to see how stable they are!!!

Disclaimer: I made this on my own without any affiliation with them. I just love quality gear!

Depending on where you are you might want to pack 2 sturdy trees as well.

To sleep flat in a standard hammock lie diagonally this enables you to sleep more comfortably.
During my teenage years I slept in a maya hammock with no discomfort.

*We have been using 4 Season Hennessy Hammock tents for a few years now and in addition to everything you highlighted, I've included just one collapsible tent pole and four tent stakes with each hammock in order to be able to set them up on the ground like normal tents when there are absolutely no trees or elevated attachments available (open fields and beaches).*

Some of my BEST sleep have come from hammocks. I love my bed but there's something magical about a hammock sleep every once in a while.

I slept a couple of nights in a hammock when I traveled the Amazon in Brazil, and we had spreader bars, and it was very comfortable! Probably because of the spreader bars!

My son slept in his hammock all through our vacation this year. He loved it.

Been hammock sleeping 10+ years love it

Insert for the mattress, though usually unnecessary provides insulation. Great ideas and innovations.

Gilligan's Island taught me about hammock camping.
I wanted one in my bedroom so badly I built one out of my bedsheets.
It did not work.
Also, I got in trouble.
But I never gave up the dream!
I still don't own one though.
That's the thing with

I've been looking into sari hammocks, myself. They're really long, though some extra cordage to tie them is probably a good idea, and instead of taking up room in your pack, you wear it as a garment. Because that's what it is, a garment that has this extra use.

As a side sleeper hammocks have never bothered me. I still love sleeping in them.

[lazaruslazuli]

My best friend and I made hammocks out of heavy canvas with a foam pad layered inside back in the early 70's. Add a mosquito net and you've got comfy camping.

[pythonpete]

They are great when you master getting out of it in the morning with a drink in your hand.

[superguysmiley]

Hennessy hammock for this old boy! Best sleeps of my life.

[nuthndo]

Ridge line and under quilt is all you need for a perfect sleep

[padrickscar]

Replace spreader bars with trekking poles, and I'm sold

I have a Vietnam era jungle hammock I use while backpacking. It's the most essential piece of my kit, and nothing beats that "old b bag" smell.
