    hope this isn't a repost but I see a lot of potential Re: travel hammock

    Those things are miserable IMO.

    They've got them at most of the outdoor shops and I tried one in the store about 3 years ago. Couldn't get out of it fast enough. It's almost like they managed to make a cot less comfortable. Who'd of thought that was even possible.

    I do like the basic idea behind it, but there is a whole lot of work to be done before I would even consider one.

    Does not look comfortable but the idea of a hammock, portable folding stand that is lightweight enough to be a practical carry is attractive.

    As much as I like the turtle lady, turtle dog, military mast pole/4ft sections and hand hammock stand ideas, none of them offer what this product attempts to deliver.

    I say attempts because it does appear too short.

    What would it take to create this kind of lightweight folding stand that could handle a tablecloth or ENO style gathered end hammock?

    Is it possible?

    The extension needed for the Ikea style hammock stands leave me wondering...

    Solve this problem and sell a bunch of them no doubt.

    That is exactly what I was inferring... I like the idea but not the execution.
    A bigger designing on based on the same Idea would be great. I would buy one as long as it was around 100$

    I did see something interesting here though, spreader bars under the hammock.... any DIY'ers see any potential?
    .... the Aardvark (earth pig)... a rather unremarkable creature whose sole claim to fame is that it is the first animal listed in the dictionary.

    I'm not sure I trust the plastic used where the poles are riveted together. I has that 'cheap camp chair' look. You know, the ones that break after a few years use.

    I got one like that from Harbor Freight a couple years ago. NOT comfortable at all and i am only 5'8". My grandsone loved it tho
    Also it is too short to put any of my other hammocks on.
