    First Trip with my new hammock!

    I'm very new to hammock hanging and even camping...started out in April! For my birthday, my boyfriend bought me my very own hammock: Dream Hammock 11ft Darien with 1.06oz HyperD material. I must say, that this hammock is extremely comfortable! I was able to really get a great night's sleep in it. I think it might be even better than sleeping in my own bed! Makes me so excited to use this for all of my backpacking and camping trips that I have. This hammock was definitely worth the wait for it!

    Big congratulations on your hammock and first experience sleeping in it! I had a similar experience my first time in a hammock and now sleep full time in one. It's been about a year and a half since I've slept in a bed at home. The key was purchasing a quality hammock like your boyfriend has done for you. I wish you continued success.

    I would love to sleep in a hammock at home, but I don't think the dogs would be very happy about that!

    Hello and Welcome,

    you are just ahead of me, my hammock arrived yesterday and I am yet to sleep in it. Really glad it went well for you on your first night out!

    Cheers!

    Sounds like your BF hooked you up with a great first hammock! I'm still waiting for mine to be built and hope to have as great an experience. Welcome to the forums!

    Welcome to the forums. No question that I sleep better in a hammock than my bed! Enjoy, it's so much better than using a tent.
