Easthills Outdoors Jungle Explorer 118" x 79" Double Camping Hammock Lightweight Ripstop Parachute Nylon 2 Person Hammocks with Removable Bug Net, Tree Straps and Tarp Red

My scout has been using this hammock for 2 years now. He absolutely loves it. Easy to set up, has everything needed to be ready to go.

I'm 6'4" and 270 #'s and I never once felt unsafe sleeping in these for 4 consecutive nights. Once they are set up and attached to your tree's, they are very solid ! Very comfortable. Be sure to watch some vids on how to use the tree straps so you dont fall ! My first set up of hammock, rain fly took about an hour, but I would bet the next time would take me 15 minutes tops now that I know what I need to do.The very brief directions I feel are off with stating a 8-12 foot distance for your tree spread unless you are a small person. If you are hanging from a monstrous tree with a large diameter maybe 12' would work, but if you hang on say a 6-8 inch diameter tree the first loop to connect your hammock to is almost on the ground I feel like a minimum of 15 feet would be a better starting point because the tree straps are so long(good thing).The company does have excellent customer service. Amazon shorted me my rain fly and stakes 3 days before I was leaving, but the company stepped up and got them to me in time before I left. Cant thank them enough ! They will take care of any issues.Small things I really liked. The quick clip into tree strap, Rainfly is nice, big and super light, and then the ridge lines that hold up your bug net are FLEXIBLE ! which is great so you dont tear things. as you sink down into your hammock, the flexible ridge lines stretch and keep your bug net at a the height you need instead of being pulled down by your weight in the hammock which may put stress on the zipper. The only con to this is that hanging things on the inside of the bug net (lantern/fan) will drop down the top of the bug net quite a bit vs a non flexible ridgeline.Overall, I cant wait to try this again and I hope each time is just as trouble free as the first :) I was super skeptical, but after doing it one time changed my mindset.

I've had some time to evaluate this product, and really the title says it all - the amount of value offered as opposed to what you would pay for a name brand in this space is really solid. If I had to make the purchase over again I would make the same decision. However, there are several things wrong here, some of which I don't see pointed out by other reviews. So on to some pros and cons:Pros:-Value, as above.-Tarp sheds water well, so long as you are not contacting it(more in cons on this).-The stuff sack that the hammock packs into hangs down next to it when hanging, providing storage for a few things.-Removable bugnet is handy, versatile, and color coded zippers help with the at-first-perplexing task of reinstallation(take a pic of the zipper position before removal!).-Hammock material is exceptionally comfortable, breathable and seems strong. I have not gotten anywhere near the max rated weight.-Double sizing allows the user to fold the hammock in half to facilitate use as a regular chair or lounge chair with back support.-Tree straps and large biners allow for quick hammock setup and adjustment-Package provides most things needed to fully set this up and learn the variety of things needed to have a successful camping trip with this gearCons:-There is no cordage or hardware provided for tarp ridgeline or ridgeline tie-outs, which will be needed to set up. Having some paracord(or similar but less elastic) on hand to start with is necessary for full setup.-Tarp is poorly sized to hammock. This is a big one. The tarp is pictured in the listing pitched at a 45 degree angle to the hammock, or diamond style. This gives plenty of coverage against inclement weather along the length of the tarp, however in this case it's actually too big, and the hammock cannot be strung at the right angle to get the correct sag without the tree straps interfering with the tarp (or needing to pitch the tarp excessively high which reduces coverage considerably). If the tarp is pitched parallel to the hammock(rectangle style), it can be pitched much lower and provide better/tighter coverage, however in this configuration only extends beyond each end of the hammock by 6" or less, exposing the ends to rain if it's not coming straight down. I would generally pitch rectangle style in fair and windy weather as it enables a more useful porch mode, but would need to re-pitch the tarp to the other orientation if the weather changed and add more driplines to compensate for the hammock suspension contacting the tarp.-Tarp material is such that condensation and rain will cause some sagging in the sidewalls. This is somewhat improved once dry, but know that you will deal with some flapping in the wind etc, until you eventually replace this with a higher quality tarp.-There is no hammock ridgeline, although one can be tied from the either side of the hammock suspension without interfering with the bugnet, which sags a bit.-The additional material sewn into each side of the hammock, presumably to make this a double sized hammock, is poorly shaped, such that if you are using the hammock by yourself, once you get in and find your flat-lay angle, you will find it impossible to keep extra hammock fabric from hanging in your face, or in some cases, your head resting on a seam that hangs considerably tighter than the surrounding fabric, so irritating. The former may involve the weight of the bugnet and limitations of the long elastic cords it's held up with, but the main issue is the shape/orientation of the extra pieces sewn in on each side. I've remedied this with clothespins just fine, and may progress to more permanent solutions, but it's not ideal.-The stakes are terrible. Aren't included stakes always terrible? Buy some better stakes.In all, you will have to deal with a couple of issues that you're unlikely to be able to outrun at this price point. For now, and my current budget, I am willing. And it's still the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.

When i purchased this product I was honestly very skeptical about the idea of a whole hammock set for $80 when that's the price of some hammocks themselves. Boy was I very happily surprised! The quality of this gear is awesome especially for all of it you get for $80. IN this kit your getting the hammock, the suspension, and a tarp all for the price of an ENO hammock. You could basically order this and go camping and have your whole sleep kit taken care of in one little bag. The hammock itself has a built in but also removable but net that keeps out all the critters. The quality of the hammock is amazing I have even been told by a few people that it feels softer and nicer than my ENO. The suspension that comes with it is also just as good as the ENO ten footers and have the same 3 stitch daisy chain design. The tarp that comes with it comes with all the guy lines and stakes you need and is all housed in its own convenient bag. The tarp is of a light weight design but it still feels like its very durable and with keep you dry for adventures to come!So I think that this hammock is an amazing deal and of fantastic quality that cant be beat for the money! I think this setup would be perfect for someone who wants to start hammocking but not spend a lot at first. This would also be a great option to get a child and spark a new love for the outdoors.
