Camping doesn’t mean having to sleep on the cold, hard ground, and while hammocks get you off the ground these typically don’t allow for the sleeper to lay entirely flat.
The Hammock Bliss Sky Bed is the best of both worlds, as it hangs like a traditional two-point Hammock, but it utilizes an asymmetric design that provides a comfortable, relaxation space that is the next best thing to a bed in the trees. It utilizes ripstop nylon that is reinforced at the seams with webbing, providing extra stability and durability whether napping in the backyard or sleeping in the woods.
There are times when a tent isn’t needed but sleeping under the stars isn’t quite possible either. Bugs and critters make sleeping on the ground a little less desirable, but the Blue Ridge Camping Hammock from Lawson will get you off the ground and have you covered as well. It features a nylon pack cloth bed, nylon rope, aluminum alloy poles and no-see-um netting. There is an O-ring in the ceiling for hanging light while a nylon rain tarp will have you covered in case the weather turns. It weighs just 4.25 pounds making for less to carry while on the go.
One of the new Kickstarter programs we’ve seen recently that got our attention was the light-weight camping hammock called Kammok. Designed to comfortably sleep one person, this hammock is made of incredibly strong yet very breathable diamond rip-stop nylon fabric called LunarWave. It is super soft, water resistant and only weighs around one pound, making it easy to bring along. Sleeping while hanging from the trees certainly could beat trying to sleep on the hard, cold ground.
