Why Camping Hammocks Are So Popular

2016/7/26 16:31:09


If you are a camping enthusiast and are looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors without leaving a "footprint," then camping hammocks are a great way to do so. Instead of pitching a tent and leaving a huge mark behind, you will simply hang your hammock from two nearby trees, never damaging the ground beneath.

How Do Camping Hammocks Work?

Everyone has seen a hammock at one time or another, and camping hammocks are really no different. They are made from lightweight material that is incredibly strong and they are attached to two trees or other structures that will support the weight of a person in the hammock. The hammock is tied with strong rope that is designed not to damage trees, thereby leaving no mark on the environment either.

Are These Safe?

In many ways, camping hammocks are much safer than sleeping on the ground. First of all, you won't have the problem of ants, spiders, and other creatures of the night crawling in to visit you. For that reason alone, hammocks are preferred by many people who are a bit squeamish about sleeping outdoors. You will also find that sleeping in a hammock is much more comfortable than sleeping on the hard ground.

Also, if you have been dragging an inflatable mattress in with you for camping, then a hammock is much lighter in weight and will provide you with a lot more comfort, too.

If there is one concern about safety, it is that the hammock must be installed correctly. You should test it out to ensure that it will hold you safely before heading off to sleep.

Is There a Downside?

If there is one downside with sleeping in a hammock, it is that you may be colder than you would be if you were sleeping on the ground. This is because you will be fully surrounded by cold air and you won't have your body heat to warm the ground beneath you. Therefore, you should consider using a little more insulation when you are sleeping in these hammocks.

Do They Have Other Uses?

What many people find out once they have slept in camping hammocks is that they wouldn't mind one of these in their own home, or at least in their backyard. These are incredibly comfortable, not only for overnight camping but also for just resting on your back patio or hanging out watching the game on television. Although you might think that lying in such a position centuries and have found them to be both safe and comfortable.

Many people are would be unhealthy for your back or uncomfortable, people have been sleeping in these for now choosing to permanently install hammocks, both prone and seated, in their homes, not only because of the comfort factor, but because they are also just fun to have around. You will find that once you have a hammock installed, friends will come by just to "hang out" in it, and you might never get a chance to use it yourself!
