    Appalachian Hammock’s Original Hammock, 1st Setup, April 2013

    I was blessed winning a brand new Appalachian Hammock Original hammock during the raffle at the recent 1st Annual Smoked Butt Hammock Hang. Thanks AppalachianHammock.com !



    The Appalachian Hammock Original hammock is constructed using a single-layer 1.9 ripstop and it’s calendared too. Oh yeah, the fabric has a DWR coating as well. Well made, moisture resistant, and sturdy too.

    I measured the hammock and calculated an 83% ridgeline length. Then attached a UCR for an adjustable structural ridgeline. After measuring the hammock I found this one’s finished length between the suspension loops was 10’4″ (124 in = 315 cm). That yields an 83% ridgeline of about 8’7″ (103 in = 261.6 cm). Well, if my calcs and measurements are correct that is!


    Ahh-h-h… listening to the breeze in the trees…Mmm-mm-m, so comfortable in fact that I woke up about half an hour later !

    I can attest that Appalachian Hammock makes some high quality gear.
    • Thanks again to AppalachianHammock for donating prizes to the 1st Annual Smoked Butt Hang!

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    Maybe, although my hammock purchases have been significantly reduced and I've been generous with a few of my hammocks. Might be closer than you think. I must be down to about 30-35 camping hammocks now.

    Plus, you certainly have a hammock that I don't in this Appalachian Hammock. So you got that goin for ya.
    Trust nobody!

    I purchased this same hammock and I have to agree it's a nice piece of gear. Good construction and great customer service.
