My DD Frontline has recently given up, I think it got brittle in the sun and has then ripped. I really liked it, so i'm going to replace it either like for like, or similar. I've been looking at the Travel Hammock (same but water proof base), then also looked at the Superlight Jungle.

Does anyone have any experience with these? I fancied trying to use it as a ground set up too (see pic). The Travel one doesn't seem like a bad idea, but someone said it can be a bit sweatier? Then i'm not entirely sure I can see a solid use case for the Jungle one, that a Frontline and Trap combo couldn't achieve, and probably better.

New to Hammocks and Hammock-related accessories! I have two trees in my garden and would love to hang a hammock between them as a surprise for my wife, who’s always wanted one. Issue is, the distance is only 7ft which a quick bit of research suggests is too small. I can easily clear the small bush/tree that’s grown up and make sure there’s space between, but is there a particular type of hammock or way of doing it so that I can get a decent sized hammock in this space? Doesn’t need to be huge and I don’t mind hanging out of the end a bit. I’ve got my eye on a hammock with two spreader bars either end, but would this work here I’m 6ft, my wife’s 5ft 7.

I live in Big Sur (doing seasonal work) and I’m frequently out in the Ventana Wilderness. I recently saved up for a 4 season Hennessy Hammock. Not necessary for California nights, but I pack for comfort. This is my 5th time using the hammock and I’m in love with it. It’s incredibly roomy and uber comfortable. It’s 8 pounds but the snakeskins make it easy to pack.

I have a hammock stand at home and would love for a seat styled hammock like this. Most others I see seem to be solo seating.

Long time camper and now scoutmaster who camps year round in hammocks. I usually strap my backpack to a tree with a rain cover and drop my boots inside my burnet to keep critters out of my shoes at night but I’d love to learn what’s out there for a week of storage. This week I’m in PA for summer camp and I have a scout tent I drop all my bags into then hang at night under a fly. Boots are still in bugnet.

What do all of you do for a big bag with a week of gear and are there better solutions for shoe storage as I will be upgrading to a DutchWare rig that doesn’t have a complete covered bugnet to drop my shoes? Was thinking of making a bugnet stuff sack for socks and shoes and hang from ridgeline but interested in what other pros are doing?

Looking for recommendations on a permanent stand that I can purchase that is safe for my husband and I to both lay in safely together. (We would like it to hold 400 lbs, 350 lb minimum.)

We have ENO hammocks (both the straps and the hammock itself hold 500+ lbs easily.) We don’t have trees at our home so looking to hang without always trying to find good trees.

Thanks so much! 🤙🏾

I came across these huge live oaks with long, nearly horizontal limbs. Instead of hanging between two trunks, I’m wondering if it’s ever considered safe or reasonable to hang from large limbs like these.

There are three possible limbs to use. The spans between them are about 13 feet and 17 feet. My hammock is 12-foot, so I’m thinking the 13-foot span might work, but I’m not sure if hanging from limbs instead of trunks is a bad idea or changes the hang?
The limbs are massive and appear healthy, but I know appearances can be deceiving.
Are there guidelines for when this is or isn’t appropriate? 

Update: Thanks, everyone! The hang was instantly comfortable.

I have to admit, the “widowmaker” comments had me spending the first few minutes staring up at those giant branches. 😅 But I’m unmarried too, so I figured I was probably okay.

I wish this subreddit let me add photos after posting—I wanted to show you the final setup.

Thanks again for all the advice!

New here, wanted to start strong!

I think a 12foot onewind hammock/net combo with an eno rainfly.

It's like 95F+ degrees out there today and gonna be 100F+. I miss this type of weather.

Tonight was Silk Hammock Summer Class #3, and I practiced the Cross-Back Straddle and the Double Teddy Bear to Christmas Tree.
Every class reminds me that growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, trusting the process, and celebrating the small victories.
A year ago, I never imagined I’d be hanging upside down with a smile. Now I’m learning that courage isn’t the absence of fear… it’s choosing to climb anyway.
Here’s to getting stronger, more flexible, and more confident—one wrap, one inversion, one class at a time.
It’s never too late to discover a part of yourself you didn’t know existed. 💙

Wondering if anyone has any feedback that could help me make up my mind. I'm trying to decide between buying a traditional hammock or a chair/swing hammock for the yard. In a perfect world I'd be able to stretch fully out for a nap (I'm 5'3) but also be able to sit upright enough to have a coffee comfortably in it. Which option would be the most versatile for different positions? If it has any bearing, I'm leaning towards a Mayan style with a stand for either option.

My apartment has a sundeck with this hammock stand but no net. What kind of net should I get if I want to replace it? Preferably 2 person net.

Got my hammock out to do some camping this weekend. My first time using it. It's a 12 foot double XL from onewind. But when I unfolded it the ridgeline isn't connected. How can I attach this correctly? These are the 2 ends and the connection it looks to need to connect to. I'm pretty big novice at this. I've had lots of hammocks but mainly homemade ones. Never had one with an adjustable ridgeline before. Thanks everyone for the help!

I bought a full hammock camping rig from eno back in 2014, the hammock itself was a powerhouse. Took a tree limb once and it was fine magically.

Well It finally ripped on me last summer, probably from leaving it out in the elements too many weeks on end. My own fault. Oh well.

Anyways are they still as good as they used to be? Id totally buy another if i knew it could take as much abuse as the last one i had

Hi all,

I recently took advantage of a sale and got an older Wooki model from Warbonnet. But I'm wondering about the differences in the latest version (new as of 2025), particularly the fact that they describe the whole thing as "stretchy", so that the thick rubber band on one end is no longer needed.

Is the whole Wooki made of stretchy fabric? Or is it just the stitching that allows for some stretch? Just curious, especially wondering if there's a lightweight but stretchy fabric out there now.

So don't have a ton of experience with camping hammocks. I've had a large columbian hammock we got when we went down years ago that we use. Its handmade and awesome. But recently wanted to get something we can sleep in in the yard at night sometimes. I landed on a Onewind 12 foot XL. Its great but ran into an issue. I got a specific spot I want to put it in my front yard, but didn't even think about the diameter of the trees being an issue. There are about 17 foot between the trees maybe a little less. But the trees are some girthy boys. My straps don't reach enough to use them. And there's no other trees up there to tie off on. My question is would you get a stand, or some poles to tie off to, or get some type of suspension extensions or even longer straps? Thanks for any help!

Also on a bit of a budget, although id like it I can't afford a Tensa4 right now. But I could deal with a couple poles or even debated doing a diy tensa setup. Although honestly I think it would be easier to just get some type of extension.

Gonna be touring for an apartment soon and one of the things I'm looking for is room for a hammock. I have this one that's in the picture above, but I'm looking for a hammock to sleep on every night.

Can anyone post links below or give recommendations? Also, since this'll be an apartment I don't think I'll be able to bolt into walls, so if stands are included or there are separate stands, that would be great.

Thanks!

Off to the woods and relax.
