Hammocks

Flying Squirrel Outfitters‘ handmade hammocks have a unique double-ended pouch. You can slide the pouch along the hammock to adjust the tension, so you can create a stiff hanging chair or a loose hammock. Available as 22oz two-person or 11oz one-person hammock.

TrailNest’s foldable hammock stands are meant to be attached to vehicle roof bars, but can also be used on the ground. They have their own floors so you won’t step on your roof. There’s also a kit that comes with a ladder. Available in single or double stands.

Wildish’s packable outdoor gear turns into a blanket, a tent or a hammock in seconds. It’s made of water-repellent ripstop nylon and has reinforced stitching, ballistic webbing straps and nylon loops. Comes with eight carabiners and ground stakes.

Most portable hammocks require that you string them up between trees. But this one comes with a folding frame, making it perfect for the beach and open fields. It has a movable canopy for sun protection, a 9-can drink cooler, and packs up into the included carrying bag.

REI’s first hanging tent aka bridge hammock. It’s a one-person hammock that weighs a little over 3lb, a ripstop nylon body with shockcorded poles, all the cords and clips you need to hang it, as well as a removable bug net and a rainfly.

We can think of few more relaxing ways to spend a day than floating on a quiet lake, or in a lazy hammock. The MelloShip combines both of these “activities” into one. Lie back, relax, and steer the solar-powered vessel via remote control. Holds two hammocks, so bring a friend!

Tentsile claims its T-mini is the smallest two-person hammock you can find. The best part about it is that its two halves are segmented, so you and your buddy don’t have to be lumped in the middle. It measures 8’x 10’x 10′ and holds up to 485 lb.
