Finding the right companion that has it all as per your desire and sharing the same excitement and spirit like you is very difficult for a human to find in another human. And that's the reason why people choose to share their adventurous expedition with a durable and helpful partner like a hammock.
Hammock is the ideal camping partner to the campers and trekkers of these days. It is as durable as the enthusiasm of a camper and as long living as the love for adventure of a trekker. It neither fails its human companion and neither does it disappoint the adventurous soul in any manner.
The making of a hammock is very simple. It is like a sling which is made out of rope, net, nylon, or other such fabrics and is suspended between two points for resting, sleeping, or swinging. Hammocks were actually designed by the natives of South America for the purpose of sleeping. Later it was used by the sailors to maximize their sleeping space and by the explorers for a comfortable sleep.
Double Hammock is a great option for sleeping. Studies have proven it that sleeping on a hammock gives more relaxed sleep than that on a bed. Therefore it is not necessary after every trekking season to store your hammock along with the other gears in your wardrobe. You can use your trekking partner all round the year if you want to enjoy a better and more comfortable sleep. Other than that you can also hang the hammock in your backyard and enjoy a relaxed night out under the starry sky after a tiresome day in the office.
Now a question may arise in the minds of a traditional tent camper that why not share the camping experience with the age old camping partner, which is a tent? Tents have been a part and parcel of many camping adventures for years but it has some downfalls which lessens its popularity and usefulness when compared to a hammock.
Some of the features of a hammock that give it a hike over tents are as follows:
- Less weight: the low weight of a hammock is the foremost thing that gives it an edge over the tents. A hammock is so easy to carry that it will not add any such extra weight to your baggage, thus giving you the opportunity to cross all boundaries in your expedition without any luggage complications.
- Space: a double hammock provides the adequate place for two people to have a comfortable sleep together. It is also a great option for the campers who are taller or love to sleep in a spacey corner.
- Durability: A hammock is also very durable and capable of going through all pressure and rough handlings.
- Set up: a hammock is very easy to set up. All you need to do is find two trees that are equally distanced, and you are done. While setting up a tent is a very tiresome job after a tough expedition. You not only have to dig in the poles but will also have to erect a large tent which becomes very tough in case you are traveling alone.
- Space option: In case of selecting the space of your choice, hammock gives you ample option. One can tie their hammock any where they like. Beside a waterfall, beside a mountain, beside a waterfall, practically anywhere. But erecting a tent requires even ground, grassy land, which is sometimes difficult to find, especially when you are trekking.
- Insects and water: Sleeping in a tent bounds you to sleep on the hard ground which results in a lot of discomforts. And if it rains the runoff water may even enter your tent and wet you up. Besides, the creepy friends can easily advent your tent ruining your sleep. While sleeping in a hammock prevents you from these risks and also gives you the opportunity to sleep under the starry sky with soft wind touching your face, thus making you feel much closer to nature.
- Price: the price of a hammock is much less than that of a tent while the benefits are much more.
The above mentioned features are just a few of the attributes that come along with a hammock. To know more about the difference that a hammock can bring to your camping expeditions, grab one for yourself and feel the change.
