The
Joy and Comfort of Hammock Camping
Lightweight
string net hammocks intrigue me too. Their great
strength and low weight suggest they might be
suitable for serious wilderness use. However,
they miserably fail my comfort test. Their excessive
stretch and sag results in cramping shoulder squeeze
and back bend that make them uncomfortable for
sleeping. No wonder people's experience makes
them suspicious of my claims of superior comfort
in my hammock.
I, too, was a victim of poorly designed hammocks
until the promise of a really comfortable camping
hammock and my curiosity led me to making my own.
I now realize that properly made hammocks are
extremely comfortable. My hammock has evolved
from years of trying different fabrics, shapes
and sizes in actual wilderness conditions. The
result is a remarkably practical and comfortable
camping hammock system.
Waterbed Cocoon in the Air
In
fact, I call my camping hammock a "waterbed
cocoon in the air." It's as comfortable as
a waterbed and, like a cocoon, it is a complete
secure shelter!
What About Tipping Over?
Many
hammocks are unsuitable for the wilderness traveler,
not because they are uncomfortable, but because
they are too heavy to carry easily or they lack
the required bug and rain protection. Others are
actually dangerous and can easily tip over; this
is less of a problem in the back yard than it
is in the wilderness. In fact, spreader bars,
which are often used in an attempt to correct
an otherwise poor hammock design, can make a hammock
unstable by raising the user's center of gravity,
which can lead to tipping over.
