Lazy Summer Days require a portable Hammock
May 18th, 2007 by James in Miscellaneous GadgetsKeeping with our hammock theme covered here recently with the vastly over priced tropical model, I just had to explain why I have a love-hate relationship with the hammock. They are incredibly comfortable to relax in on a summer day – if you can set them up, that is.
And that’s the very thing I’ve always disliked about hammocks - the need to use either two trees or, a huge steel exoskeleton which one must have to substitute in order to enjoy them. This has always made it difficult to enjoy a lazy nap at the park, beach, or especially a camp ground where you just can’t find a clearing that has two trees the proper distance apart.
Not anymore though. Over at the Discovery Store, they have a Portable Hammock for sale for under a hundred dollars.
Made out of air-flow mesh and a collapsible steel frame, it opens to over ver 8 feet long and folds to compact size for easy carrying utilizing 2 shoulder straps – which you’ll definitely need since the collective weight is over 22 pounds!
Setup is literally under a minute and it can hold up to 250 lbs. Sadly you wont’ be snuggling up with your honey in this one, but it’s perfect for a lazy nap while she’s off playing with the kiddies. It’s a great addition to your camping gear. As long as you don’t have to hike into your camp area with it.
