    Wtb first hammock

    Hi everyone. Looking for a hammock that can fit two people sitting that would also work for one person sleeping. I'm only 5'6 so I can't imagine it needing to be huge.

    Not looking to break the bank on my first one. Just seeing if anyone has any thing used before I jump on a new one

    Thanks!

    If you are up for a bit of DIY check out the Tablecloth Hammock in the DIY section. Can be done with no sewing needed. A quick reference below.

    Here's a link to the DIY Tutorial I did for the Tablecloth hammock. They really are great and sounds like it would serve you well for what you're wanting.

    Re: Wtb first hammock

    I agree with the table cloth ones... Cheap enough to have extras, nice enough to keep as spares even after you have some nicer ones... Can't beat $30 setup...
    Live, Laugh, Love, if that doesn't work. Load, Aim and Fire, repeat as necessary...

    I've got an older hammockbliss double that I no longer use (went to an ENO single). Still in excellent shape, though I'll have to dig it out of my storage duffel bag and give it a re-check if you're interested. $40 shipped (PayPal included). It's the same color scheme (green/tan) as the one on their website.

    I've got a Yukon double that I have outfitted with amsteel loops at the ends
    (instead of the heave rope and heavy hook they sent).
    Do you need whoopies?
    They are on there with some amsteel loops.

    Do you have straps?

    send me a PM if interested.

    $30 without the whoopies. (but includes the amsteel loops).

    you'll want to change out the cord in the channel as well as the hooks...

    well, for hiking.


    if it's for car camping or the back yard, you'll love it!
