Review on Double Portable Outdoor Camping Hammock For Kids And Adults - 2 Person Tree Travel Backpacking Hamaca With Carrying Bag by Marco Mooney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Hammock/Not great with Knots!

We bought this hammock as a Daddy's day present. I have to say we love it so far. It's so sturdy. A few years ago my father bought us a rope hammock while on an island for vacation. We didn't have trees or a metal hanging post that would work for it. My dad dug 2, 4 ft deep holes, filled them with concrete and put heavy duty wood pilings into it. He then screwed metal O rings into it to it to clip the caribeeners attached from the hammock too! Works like a charm! With the length of this hammock we realized we'd have to use the extra rope that came with it, to make up for the length on both sides to reach our poles. No prob! It was more than enough rope. Unfortunately my husband being like many men feels he knows the way of all things manly, like tying a knot on those ropes that should never give. (Mind you my husband has very bad back problems) he tied those knots the way he saw fit, and hopped on in to the hammock! It was great for about 1 1/2 mins before one of his knots gave away and he was flat out on the ground in excruciating pain! Mind you this was his fault! Not the hammock makers! For future reference, I hope you guys send a little paper with it, on exactly how to tie a knot that holds true and will never unravel like it did to him. It took him a few days to recover. And once I went on the internet and learned how to tie knots like a sailor, he finally trusted it enough to give it another go round! He and we love it! The kids pile in while one of us swings in it. It's really well made. Just make sure you get your knots right!

Pros
  • Outdoor Recreation
Cons
  • The weight of the hammock may not be convenient for backpackers with limited carrying capacity

Hung this in my sons room for him to chill in. He loves the thing. Actually slept in it the other night. Easy to install and really strong.
