New way to hang:

Got bored today and set up a hammock the way I've wanted to for a while. I like the occasional nap in my Suburban at lunch. Yeah, you know where I'm going with this. I took an inexpensive Stansport and hung it up using the rear door upper latch loop and the Oh poop! bar on the passenger side. I'm going to machine a stronger bracket for above the door and install some quick disconnects. I hung in it for a spell and fell asleep as planned. This should work really well for those times I just gotta get out of the city and am too lazy to set up my Hennessy. Here's a couple of quick pics. It started to rain pretty good and I didn't feel like getting wet for the sake of a few pics. Enjoy!

The extra line is the old line from my Hennessy that I added to this one for my son to use. I'll give him his hammock back once I go and get me one like it to keep in the Burb. This was just a trial run to see if it worked so don't rag on me too bad on this particular set up. LOL.

Hilarious! I love it! Thanks for the pictures!

Are you kidding me? Why would anyone on this forum think of ragging on you for pics like that?? I think it's awesome myself.

Problem is I could never do it cause I'd never get back into work from lunch.

Genius!!!!!

Throw in some freshly cut spruce boughs, crack the window a bit and you can experience the "Piney Woods" in the comfort of your garage!!!!

You've even got firewood and a cooler going on in there!!!! Dude!!!

Use it as an emergency "sanity recharger".

I like it!

Pretty cool! As spacious as it is, you should see Old Gringo's mobile condo. I sure like the idea of hanging in the truck

Great way to catch a few Z's while on the road.

Thanks Y'all! After I machine the permanent brackets and such, I plan on putting in some storage and what not. It's my commuter/ camping rig. The idea of a 1 minute set up, a hard roof, and room to eat is growing on me. The less work I have to do to get set up, the more time I have to RELAAAAAXXXX and ENJOOOOY.

I'd like to get a cargo van someday and put a couple rings inside to hang from. I saw a documentary once about South American truck drivers that hung hammocks to the underside of their trailers and slept in them on the side of the road.
