Review on 🌲 GRAND TRUNK Tree Slings Camping Hammock Hanging Kit: Quick and Easy Set-Up with Pre-Knotted Straps and Tree-Friendly Trunk Sleeves - Ideal for Backpacking, Hiking or Relaxing in Your Backyard by Elmito Yeager

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, cheap kit.

Bought and used on a recent hammock hike I went with friends, after two days needed a set of slings and wanted them to be light weight. These Grand Trunk lines seemed just right for what I needed them for. They have a claimed weight of 5.6 ounces and I weighed mine at 9.3 ounces with the bag and 8.95 without. The pre-knotted connection points seem a little less flimsy than we'd like, but it's easy to just add more knots with them, which you can't do with nylon or webbing slings. I was fine with the distance they covered, but I envied the length of my friends' straps, which were almost twice as long. After all, they've kept me dry all week (in a good way!) and I have no complaints other than the weight difference. Python straps so I can hang my backpack with me. (They advertised weigh an extra 6.6 ounces and hold another 100 pounds.) That might not sound like much to some, but for true grammers like me it really does.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
