Camping hammocks - comfort in the backcountry
For hundreds of years the peoples of South America have known the comfort and convenience of hammocks. To this day, many primitive cultures still use them as a mainstay in their huts and villages. Why not take a hammock with you on your next excursion into the wild and discover for yourself what those cultures have known all along?
Camping hammocks can be as simple as a nylon or rope bed that provides a relaxing way to get your feet off the ground, or as complex as a fully enclosed hammock to ward off insects and even rain.
The benefits of hammocks are many. To begin, they permit you to sleep off the ground - avoiding rocks, roots, mud, and water. In addition, some camping hammocks are enclosed with fine-weave mesh to keep out insects. Others are completely sealed, making them waterproof during the heaviest rains.
The Hennessy Expedition camping hammock has been used by the Navy Seals, is strong, light, and insect-proof. Other styles such as the Jungle Camping Hammock provide protection from the elements as well as insects. While most only accomodate one person, a few are large enough to comfortably permit two occupants.
Perhaps the best part about camping hammocks is how incredibly small and light they are. Give a camping hammock a try on your next outing - you may never crawl back into a tent again!
