Best way to store my hammock?

**HAZZA** · 03-31-2014, 23:44

Hello everyone, I am still very new to hammocking and only been out a few times.
I was just wondering I have bought and been using the DD 2012 Frontline hammock and they provide it with a bag where you fold it up and store it like that.
When I am out camping folding it becomes quite annoying so I was just wondering if there is a quicker and easier way to store it?

Thanks

Don't fold it.

How should I store it then??

I would just stuff it in, but thats me, cant see how that would hurt it, most hammocks come just stuffed in anyway.

Store your hammock? Just sleep in year round at home! lol But for real, I just stuff it in my stuff sack and let it sit. Like Zilla said, I don't think it really hurts it at all.

Ok I will give it ago I just thought with the zips and the fly net something could get caught and tear it.
I only continued to fold it because it came folded.

Nope, it shouldn't hurt it one bit to just stuff it in.

Some recommend zippin all zippers fully shut to best prepare for stuffing.

Hazza,

You might want to consider getting some snakeskins. That not only makes it an easy way to store, but an efficient way to set up when you're out on the trail.

Hennessy Hammock sells very good snakeskins. There are also some cottage industry business on this forum that make and sell them as well.

All the best.
