I just bought a cheap hammock while I save up for an ENO or something similar.
The hammock I bought is this one:
http://www.hammocks.com/hammocks/fab...kethammock.cfm
But I did not buy it there, but rather through Amazon for about 16.50 USD which came to 24 USD after s&h. The only reason I put this link in was because it has more pics of the actual hammock
This is not the more commonly known company by the name of Hammock Bliss, but rather another one that is called Bliss Hammocks that makes mostly patio backyard frame hammocks
I noticed this company has 2 different styles of portable pocket hammocks.
One is the type I see used here a lot and then there is the type I purchased above with many strands of paracord coming out from the end of the actual hammock.
I do not know what style anyone would call this hammock. Would you called it a naval hammock, or jungle hammock, or something else?
I have been trying to put together a BOB on the cheap, and the price and packed size (6" x 8") of this item qualified for this, and although I have not received it in parcel yet, I think I should have opted for something else. Oh well, too late, it's on it's way.
I will need a different suspension system then the one provided, if I am to use this, which I would like straps and carabiners for it. I am concerned with pack weight on the hammock, I have no idea how much this thing weighs, but I am guessing I could have done better in the weight department.
I looked at other pocket hammocks, and price and color (green and or khaki) requirements at this time kept me away from final purchase.
The other considerations were the GTU travel, hammock bliss, and out of the more obscure hammock companies, for some reason by impulse based on price, I purchased this one.
Would this be a halfway decent camping hammock, or is this one just for backyards?
