And that is the reason why hammocks are gaining so much popularity, especially among the campers and trekkers. Its light weight and durability have proved it as an effective companion for crossing all bounds and limits.
A tree hammock is much more efficient and useful than a traditional tent. It comes loaded with so many features that its popularity has greatly increased among the campers. Some of its attributes are mentioned below:
- Easy set up: all you need to set up a hammock is two equally spaced trees, and half your work is done. Next is you have to tie the hammock around the tree and it is all set for your relaxation.
- Environment friendly: hanging a hammock won’t harm the trees in any manner. The straps are so soft that it will not even harm a delicate trunk. While setting up a tent can damage the grasses beneath.
- Can be set anywhere: to set up a tent one needs flat grassland or any even place but a hammock is not bounded by any such limitations. You can hang a hammock anywhere you like, besides a stream, or in a rough terrain. All you need are two trees which are easily available anywhere.
- Cost effective: a hammock costs much less than a tent while its benefits are much more than it.
- Durable: hammock can also sustain rough climatic conditions and a lot of weight though it itself weighs much less.
- Comfortable sleep: studies have shown that sleeping in a hammock gives a much comfortable sleep than that in a tent or on a bed.
- Weight: a tree hammock itself weighs much less while it can sustain the weight of even two people sleeping together on it.
