    Give me opinions on these hammocks please.

    I have $50 in these four hammocks.The blue and green,I have had for over a year and never touched them.I will be busy over the next week to week and a half.I plan to pull them out and go over the seems really well and possibly add a extra stitch er two for strength.I know these hammocks aren't of good quality.I haven't been able to get out and camp like I wish to.When I do,it will be moto camping or car camping.I think they'll hold up for a while, until I can get my playroom set up to make gear.Does anyone have experience with these specific hammocks?They are sold at K-Mart.I don't know where else they may be sold.





    Nothing to see here. Keep moving.

    the travel vagabond hammock is SHORT man, it reads like 106" IIRC and %83 of that is how far apart the ends SHOULD be when hung, so thats gunna make for a tiny hammock. i was fighting with myself over that one once already; the hobo 2 (wow an inch in both directions difference?) isn't going to be a lot bigger than that. maybe great if you're a little guy/gal, but im 5'9" and my 9.5' feels almost too short for me

    The Hobo 2 was my very first hammock when I was a noob and experimenting with pads, sleeping bags, pods, space blankets, plus just getting into the forums. Worked out ok for me on a couple trips, but it was a little tight ( 5' 10", 180 ). Then I went to my first group hang and the gear madness began after seeing all the cool stuff people had.....Hobo 2 gets out occasionally as an extra beach hammock.
