When Lawson Hammocks first started developing a camping hammock, their goals included low impact, lightweight and tough. Find out how they met these and other goals while developing an ingenious, patented camping hammock.
The first thing that I notice about the Blue Ridge Camping Hammock is that it has poles like a traditional tent. I have slept in a camping hammock before, and loved it. But it was more of a parachute type hammock, when you laid on it the hammock material hugged around your body. The Blue Ridge has both spreader bars and arch poles, and Lawson claims that they are at the heart of their patented system. The spreader bars open up the hammock, making it nice and roomy inside, while at the same time adding to its strength and durability. The arch poles at the head and foot of the hammock keep the canopy off of your face. These give a greater feeling of space, which is great if you suffer from even a tiny bit of claustrophobia.
Another great bonus to the spreader bars and arch poles is that it allows the Blue Ridge to be hung as a hammock using just two ropes attached to a set of trees, or you can set it up on the ground like a traditional tent, you just have to stake it down at each end. This versatility is not found in any of the other leading camping hammocks.
Let's now take a look at each of the goals of Lawson when they first began research to come up with this ideal product.
