You can set up this hammock anywhere you can find two supports.
The Eagles Nest Hammock comes in many different colors and two sizes. You can get a single hammock, with a weight limit of 400 pounds. If you want a little more fabric for stretching out, consider the double option, which holds the same amount of weight but provides about 18 extra inches of fabric width. The fabric resists ripping and tearing and dries quickly, so you can rest easy even fresh from a swim. If you’re not sure which size you want, I recommend the double. It adds minimal weight but extra options.
Combine the hammock with a tarp for extra shade and protection from the elements.
If you plan to overnight in the hammock, (I love sleeping in the trees, and the extra material can give you some protection from sun, rain, or light), it works great with a sleeping bag outdoors. Add a sleeping pad for extra comfort and you’ve got a compact and lightweight yet durable sleeping spot, with no worries about rocks, sticks, or even flat surfaces. For shorter daytime naps, you won’t need anything extra to feel comfortable.
The entire hammock stuffs into the tiny gray sack attached to the side.
Unlike the Mac Sports Portable Hammock, the Eagles Nest Hammock doesn’t come with a stand or optional shade. You will need to find something sturdy to hold it up. Luckily, the long straps give you lots of flexibility to find good options. Each strap goes around the object, like a tree or post, so it doesn’t matter how big the tree is. And you can easily add a tarp for your own shade. No matter your destination, the Eagles Nest Outfitters Hammock means you can relax when you get there.
The double hammock can hold two people of almost any size.
