"Out For Delivery"

[Miguel]

Don't you just love it when you get that email from UPS or Fedex!

In this case it's a new Hammock Stand from Hammeck. It was only about a nine day turn around btw which is way quicker than the two to three weeks I expected. No more worrying about finding appropriate trees while car camping this season.

I do love that. It's a miracle when USPS manages to do that.

HAHA I was going to mention that. When I check the status and it says "shipped" I know I can expect it between 1 and 4 days. UPS can nail it down to about a 15 minute window.

The best part is when USPS does this and it gets delivered a day or so later.

Let's not talk USPS right now. I have a package that left Flushing, NY five days ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

I don't want to make the obvious joke because it really stinks when something you ordered disappears but... uhmm.. Yeah...

I posted this in another thread.

So my Hammeck Hanger Stand arrived and I am very pleased with it. I ordered it with the extendor which will accomodate bridge style hammocks. First I'd like to say that it arrived in nine days despite the two to three week estimate given on their web site. Yes I'm a happy guy. I wouldn't say it's super intuitive to put it together but after watching and pausing their instructional video a few times it went together quite easily. I can't imagine future assemblies taking much more than five minutes.

I initially tried it without the extension with an 11' Danger Bird and it fit perfectly. I then tried it with the extension with my Ridgerunner bridge hammock and again it was a perfect fit. As stated in their video it seems a little unsteady when you first put it together but by following their suggestion of pullng out the legs, it tightened right up. When you actually lay in the hammock it becomes rock solid. This thing instills confidence.

I really like how it goes together. Non of the parts are tight and due to the design they don't need to be. All the parts slip together incredibly easily with plenty of overlap. The whoopie adjuster to keep the legs from spreading is pure genius. It's simple and bombproof. Just pay attention to the video. The pads at the end of the legs did indeed protect my hardwood floors so don't be afraid to use it indoors.

My 12' Big Daddy tarp fit fine with the extendor on and I wouldn't hesitate to use it without the extender as there are no sharp edges on the stand.

In sum, I'm really happy with it. I backpack but also do quite a bit of car camping. Sometimes especially when traveling and camping in state parks it can be a challenge finding enough trees to accomodate everyone. For me the Hammeck Hanger Stand will be the answer to my worries. Thanks for a quality product. For me it was worth the money.

Thanks for reposting Miguel. I have a RR too and was looking at this version of their stand, opposed to the DIY version. I'm ordering when I get home tonight, no point waiting any longer as I have the info I need, thanks again.
