I no longer use it. It rides in my Jeep so that I always have one with me. For the price, it was great. My Traveller is much much better.

Didn't vote, because I've not slept in a bridge hammock yet.

Though I'm new at this, I've daily slept in both an 11' Warbonnet Traveler XL and my 9.5' Walmart Equip. The Traveler is the more...

After spending some time in the Equip hammock, I learned that I didn't like the seams of a 3 section hammock. I kept having problems with it putting pressure on my head or feet. My first solution...

Thanks for the reminder Diagonal. I have them bookmarked for when I start looking for those.

The last couple of nights have been interesting. I still take longer to fall asleep, I wake a few times during the night, but I feel so much more rested in the morning. To help with my issue...

EZBreezy, thanks for the link. I'm fairly sure I read this thread last week, but I'm going to run through it again. I've seen several really good posts by Cannibal discussing the Mayan, Brazilians,...

I've spent 2 nights in the Ceara stand now. It was easy to setup and is quite sturdy. The Equip hammock is just under 10' so the stand is at it's smallest setting. Sitting diagonal in my room,...

@Diagonal...

Thanks for the clarification. I have to agree that the overall affordability of the hammock is a nice bonus. I don't plan to go after the expensive high end hammocks, so I will...

I'm not sure how to take your response... but I don't think I'll ever be able to afford a $3k bed. $500 was all I could afford at the time to stop sleeping on the couch. It's an entry level Sealy,...

I wouldn't say I've adapted to comfortably sleeping yet. I've slept in it 2 nights now. One was good, one was not. I didn't wake up in pain on either morning, and I felt well rested despite the...

Monday I spoke with Dan of Byer of Maine regarding his products. We discussed the Ceara stand and a few of his hammock options. Dan was very helpful and friendly. He took his time to answer all my...

I fell asleep on the couch last night, woke up around 3am sore. Climbed in the hammock and slept well until 6am. No pain and no bathroom visits. Looking into a stand today.

Thanks for the link. That's an interesting potential explanation. I'm also type 2 diabetic and forgot to take my after dinner medicine last night. That might have added to the problem as well. ...

For the past few years, I've been having problems waking with body aches if I sleep for more than about 6-7 hours. I've been dealing with it by sleeping part of the night on the couch, then retiring...

From reviewing this thread, looks like it should be here before I need it for an Oct 3rd trip.

I appreciate your input and time. The variable nature of all these factors does make it difficult to predict. Thank you for taking the time to respond as you did. I look forward to beginning my...

What type of quilt do you use, and how much do you think it adds to the capability?

In retrospect, calling it a "DIY" idea isn't accurate, as I'm not going to create anything. I'm just trying to piece together some reasonably priced multiuse items for underquilt type protection.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to take a moment to bounce an idea off those who have more experience with this. I apologize if this has been covered before. In my searching, I didn't find this...

As a side note, I've also been looking at the idea of hanging a hammock in my bedroom over my bed. Looks like it might work to put the weight on 2 studs on each end. If I do this, I'll make a...

I've been giving serious consideration to the Hennessy design. I like the idea of the all inclusive shelter design with quick setup. I have been playing phone tag with Hennessy to discuss my...

Thanks. I'm going to have to agree. There is a lot more info on this subject than I would have thought. Fortunately, my trip isn't until October, so I have some time to spend researching.

Hello everyone,

While doing research for an upcoming camping trip in the Ozarks, I discovered this forum. It's been 20 years since I've been camping, but I'm fairly certain I don't want to sleep...
