Good day ladies and Gentlement. Recently Woot had the yukon hammocks on sale.... again. So I picked one up for the wife and my youngest son. I also grabbed an XL for me. So here's a little bit about it:
The Hammock comes in a pretty compact sewn-on pouch. Packed up, it's smaller than my bear grylls hammock.
They Say it's 138 inches. I call BS.
76" wide my butt.... I'm 73 inches tall....
It's not even as long as my Bear Grylls, which is disappointing.
Now here's my real problem with it. I put on my 10ft fixed length ridgeline (thanks to dutch) on it. when I lay straight in it, the ridge line is taught and just like it's supposed to be. The problem is that because of the length this isn't over comfortable.
I tried a left hand lay (which is usually how I lay in my BG) and check out what the ridge line does. I think there is something wrong, as it does not do this on my BG hammock. The sag is so bad that it may as well not even be on the hammock.
The stock attachment points are JUNK. it's a cotton/nylon blended rope attached via a larks head loop. and the metal o-ring (it's not even a d-ring or carabiner) weighs a lot. I've already ordered a set of amsteel continous loops, cinch buckle, and tree straps from Dutch (my third order this month). I've got my skeeter net picked out and am ordering today.
Chances are, my son will inherit this one and i'll buy a hammek netty. either that or a hammock bliss sky bed bug free.
