Not from a magazine, but seems like a fine place to share this one:
My mom found this old picture of my Great, Great, Grandpa laying out in a hammock and gave it to me. I have no idea what year this was taken, but I can only imagine it was a really long time ago. Hammocking must run in the family.
Great family hammock sighting there Mindwalk.

In quiet covers, cool and gray.

Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.
Surely, God never did.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, by Max Brooks, has an interview with a downed pilot:
"...found a decent enough perch in the branches of a tall tree. My kit had this standard issue microfiber hammock; great invention, light and strong and with clasps to keep you from rolling out. That part was also supposed to help calm you down, help you get to sleep faster..." (180).
“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” ~Judge Joseph Story

I was re-watching the first season of Justified and saw the hammock in the background. Thought I'd share it in order to keep the thread alive.
Not the best size of the picture though, but you can see it between the two guys in the background.
HA! Banana hammock!
