Kamik: Deals

What size is best for you? 

• Single: lighter but less spacious, good for backpacking
• Double: fits two but comfortably spacious for one
• Length: at least 2 feet longer than your body
• Weight capacity: single hammocks 300–400 lbs.; double hammocks 400–500 lbs.
• Ultralight: weigh less to carry but lower weight capacity

Consider accessories:

• Underquilts: great insulation for cool-weather hammock camping
• Rain tarps: suspended seperately, protect you from the elements
• Bug nets: 360-degree protection and “no-see-um” netting are best

Hammock tents

• Pros: Lighter and more compact than traditional tent, doesn't require level ground, less impact on ground vegetation
• Cons: Requires sturdy trees, colder, less rainproof than traditional tent, minimal interior storage
