Koala Portable Camping Hammock Bed Bundle: 2 Person, 2-Hanging Straps, 2-Carabiners, Stuff Sack, Dry Bag Holds up to 400 Pounds

Let's start with the essentials: It's a double hammock, wide enough for one to sleep comfortably, or for two to share a short nap or just sit and enjoy the views. It comes with wire gate lightweight, snag-free, carabiners and multi-loop tree straps. A similar combo from another brand will set you off seven to eight times what this koala hammock costs.The kit comes in its own bag, made of a strong ripstop fabric and a closure that resembles a dry bag. But dry bag it is not. It will of course keep your hammock dry under certain conditions (wet floor, light rain, etc), but it will NOT keep it dry if you toss it into the water. It comes as a welcome extra, so don't be expecting a proper waterproof bag. The top of this bag has a reflective stripe that covers all the way from both halves of the buckle. So far, I can't imagine what this is for, as it gets rolled over when the bag is closed, but sure it could help you find your way back to camp, if you're in the dark and the reflective stripe happens to be looking in the general direction of your flashlight.Inside the orange "dry bag" you will find your hammock kept in its parachute fabric pocket and the straps kept rolled by a single rubber band. Of course you don't really need to keep them rolled after every use, but if you like it that way, consider getting a better retention system than a flimsy rubber band.When extended, the hammock is of a very low key green with neutral grey accents. It's very long, longer than its "top brand" equivalent, and that's a plus if you're planning on camping with it. The fabric feels strong enough but it's light, just as you'd expect. Here's two cons I've found so far: The pocket on the side of the hammock, at least on mine, came sewn backwards, so it needs to be turned inside out for it to be useful (bottle holder, or whatever). Not a big deal, but it is my experience. Also, the knots on each end were just two simple overhand knots, which is not as safe. An easy fix. Just do a quick search on youtube, if you're not familiar with knots, and choose the one you like the most.So far, after a few uses, the hammock is holding up perfectly fine, and nothing makes me feel like it won't last long enough. But time (and heavy use) will tell. Just so you know, I received nothing in return for posting this review.

I was beyond thrilled with the quality of this hammock and the rest of the contents.The hammock and the included carabiners fit neatly into the attached stuff sack and packs down to approximately the size of a small coffee can. (6" around x 8.5" tall) The stuff sack doubles nicely as a place to stash your pocket gear while relaxing out on the trail.The straps are a little bit thinner than I expected, but function perfectly none-the-less. There is a loop attachment every few inches that are triple stitched for strength. The smaller stuff sack included fits the tree straps perfectly.I haven't tested the dry bag against moisture at this point, but it is definitely big enough to fit the entire hammock bundle inside of it.Overall this is a perfect starting point for someone getting into hammock camping, or even someone who just wants to lounge around in the yard. For camping, I would recommend a set of whoopie slings for fine-tuning the comfort in any possible configuration. Also, a ridgeline and rainfly setup.For the price, this bundle can't be beat!

So great! And easy for beginner "hammockers". Perfect for two people, feels safe. Ready to go right out of the bag. And really easy to put bag in the bag which was a big concern for me because I'm really lazy and hate putting big things back in little compartments (insert nasty joke here). Fits right back into the bag perfectly when you're done

Just tried it out and I enjoy it emminsly. They should inclus a bit of velcro though so you can swaddle yourself and keep out the light. Can't wait to take this camping or use during the summer

If you're looking for a decent hammock to use camping look somewhere else. This hammock does come with nice carabiners however the "dry bag" is nothing but a bag that looks like it would be a dry bag but once it gets even the slightest bit wet, the water soaks right through. The tree straps say they are only rated for 300lbs. For a double hammock, this seems too light considering it is supposed to hold 2 people. the material of the hammock is different from most hammocks and seems much cheaper. I recommend looking for a different hammock and purchasing separate tree straps. It may be more expensive (not really all that much though), but it will be worth it.

Good quality construction and easy to set up with the straps. I have not used it a lot yet but it seems pretty well put together. May take this backpacking this spring to lounge in during the day.

Great quality and I use it every chance I get. Very relaxing.

Although my product came without the straps after a quick phone call Koala Outdoors sent them very fast. Great Product!
