Kammok Camping and Hiking

What size hammock is best for you? 

• Single: Lighter for backpacking but less spacious.
• Double: Two people can share or one person to spread out. 
• Length: Look for a hammock that is at least 2 feet longer than your height.
• Weight capacity: Check to make sure it suits your needs.

Consider accessories:

• Underquilts offer great insulation for hammock camping in cooler weather.
• Rain tarps, hung above the hammock, protect you from the elements.  
• Bug nets: Look for models with 360-degree protection and “no-see-um” netting. 

Should you consider a hammock tent? 

• Pros: Generally lighter and more compact than a traditional tent, doesn't require level ground and has less impact on ground vegetation.
• Cons: Won’t work without sturdy trees, colder and less rainproof than a traditional tent, and have minimal interior storage.
