How to Choose the Hammock for Camping Outside?
Apart from the ease to set up and packing, you'll need to consider the number of persons who lie in a hammock, the weight that hammocks hold up to, size of hammocks.
Keep in mind that the nylon hammock is popular as a lightweight parachute hammock combining ripstop and rated weight.
Hammock fabric: Choose a strong ripstop nylon fabric and consider the tradeoffs with “denier” values. A higher denier number can handle rougher use but at a heavier product weight. A lower denier value offers a lighter weight product, but rough use will wear out the fabric quickly. Our technical ripstop Nylon was engineered specifically for hammock camping to withstand wear and tear while offering a lightweight, breathable hammock.
Hammock size: The right hammock size is a matter of individual preference. Hammocks come in multiple sizes and most people will have no problem finding a comfortable fit.

Hammock Camping Gear Basics Needed
As most of our hammock kits include tree staps and even bug nets, which helps you to take the bug net into account. Our bug nets are mosquito-free with a bottom entry design, and super easy to hang on and off with both ends tightened into a knot.
While there will be another condition you have to consider when camping out, the weather- normally you will meet bad weather or cold weather, therefore a rain fly and warm underquilts are necessary additional kit.
How to Hang your Hammock?
Finding the right trees: Your ideal hammock camping trees are 12-15 feet apart(trees width should be considered), sturdy and alive. If there aren’t any trees in the area, find two weight-bearing points that can fully support your weight, for example, a car rack or camping shelter.
Putting up the straps: Once you’ve found two sturdy points, hang each strap about 5.9"-12" above the ground by pulling the straps through the buckles
Attaching your hammock: Put the straps through a continuous loop buckle and repeat on the other side. The lowest point on your hammock should hang no more than 12 inches off the ground, for a safe and easy-to-enter and exit hang. Adjust the ridgeline of your hammock according to your preferred sleep style. Finally, take off the bug net and get through in
