Great Budget Hammocks Part 1
This is part 1 of many reviews that I will be writing on budget hammocks. I consider a budget hammock to be anything cheaper than an Eno. When I am finished reviewing the individual hammocks I will write a blog to compare and create a video on my Youtube Channel to identify the best budget hammock.
TREKK XS and Single Camping Hammocks
I recently reviewed 2 hammocks from a new company that focuses on outdoor equipment, specifically hammocks and camping chairs. These hammocks are really quality made and are a great option for hammock camping. They are on the high end of budget hammocks at $45 and $50 respectively. One great thing about the hammocks is that they both come with suspension cables (which are really ropes that go through a protective sleeve that protects a tree from rubbing its bark off).
The Trekk XS Camping Hammock (pictured above) is a "little" deceiving (no pun intended). I was really amazed at the size of the XS hammock. When I ordered the XS I was expecting a hammock just the right size for my third grade daughter. I am not a small man (6' and about 230lbs) and I fit just fine in the hammock. The downfall of the hammock is that I didn't really have enough room to lay at an angle (one of the golden rules of sleeping in a hammock comfortably). Overall I was really pleased with this small hammock. The exact dimensions are 9'10" long and 4'7" wide and the weight limit is 400lbs.
The Trekk Single Camping Hammock was deceiving too. I was expecting it to be smaller, but it is comparable in size to one of my double hammocks. I did have enough room to lay at an angle with this hammock. The specs on the Trekk Single Camping Hammock are: 10'6" by 5' and it has the same 400lbs weight limitation.
The time is right, so go to Amazon and search the TREKK Hammocks because once you start hammock camping you will never go back to a tent.
