Forbidden Road Single Parachute Hammock - Ideal for Camping and Backpacking

Camry: i loved this hammock for the price!! the strings are a little thin, so i was worried it wouldn’t hold up, but so far it’s working as it should! it’s also easy to put away. it is on the smaller side bc it’s a single person hammock, but it’s the perfect size for me!!

E. Copper: This is a standard inexpensive hammock. Plenty of other hammocks are available in this general price range, and they all seem to be about the same. This one is made of a parachute type of nylon, not ripstop. I would not expect it to hold up to much abuse, but that is what the brand name camping hammocks are for.
The hardware is useable, but I replaced the carabiners with some stronger ones I had lying around. This is not necessary, but not a bad idea if you have some spare hammock or climbing carabiners.
The "tree straps" are not so much tree straps as weak, short nylon webbing. I realized this before I ordered, but it may not be obvious to others, so I thought I would mention it. I have a bunch of proper tree straps and didn't need another set lying around. If you don't have tree straps, I suggest buying a real set, or buying a different hammock that comes with real tree straps.
So this hammock is not the most durable, comes with cheap hardware, and the "tree straps" are useless, so why buy it? Well, the eight or so yards of nylon to make a hammock would cost more than this, and I would have to sew it together. The parachute nylon feels a bit nicer than...

KatieJeremyKatieJeremy: This review is for the "single" hammock. It was only 11.99 at the time i purchased. It included straps and carabiners. The carabiners are heavy duty. The straps are more than adequate. There seems to be a lot of reviews complaining about the straps but the ones i received are over 8 feet long and defiantly strong enough to support the 400 pounds that is claimed. Maybe the company upgraded after complaints.? They are not tree straps so you will need to tie your own knots but the material is kinda silky so it was easy for me to tie and un-tie them for different trees. The hammock is comfortable for sitting or laying. Total weight with straps and carabiners was just over one pound but i was able to reduce it to 14 oz by swapping the carabiners for some lighter s-biners. Overall i'm happy with the purchase. I may buy another one to keep in the car. Definitely worth the twelve bucks.

破ける度に買い直していますが、網のハンモックとかは足に網目がついたりするので、こちらのハンモックは
オススメです。軽くて丈夫です。

K. FizzK. Fizz: Part of me wants to ding this product a star for the crappy excuse for “ropes” it provided, but I can’t do it. It’s a fantastic product and a great price ($13 when I bought it). We’ve only used it for a week so far so I can’t attest to its longevity, but it held my 6’2” 300lb. butt as well as took the abuse from 2 or 3 kids at different times and didn’t have a problem. The photo shows my daughter and her friend playing a board game in it.

I did have to buy a pair of PYS Hammock Straps because the ropes that came with it were pretty useless. They were just straps, no loops, hooks or even instructions. I did some google research on how to tie a proper knot for a hammock, but the results weren’t something I would trust. Plus the straps really didn’t impress me in terms of length and strength....we had to use it on some pretty WIDE trees.

But the hammock? Wonderful.

Pros:
Very light weight but strong.
Built in carrying bag turns into storage pouch.
Cheap!!...but in cost only. Stitching looked solid.
Dries very quickly as well.

Cons:
You really need to buy a better set of straps. I recommend the...

Jason ElliottJason Elliott: The media could not be loaded.  I’ve wanted to try hammocks for a while, my son is 10 and weighs about 65lb, I’m 35 and weigh 320lbs, so I was pretty skeptical that a hammock this cheap ($13-14) would hold me. I bought one for each of us, and this past weekend we took them on a cubscout trip. We did practice setting them up before hand, and like most of the reviews the included tree straps are pretty useless, stopped at the hardware store and picked up a pack of ratchet straps and no prob. I was very nervous getting in the first time being such a heavy guy and anticipating hearing a snap and hitting the ground, but it never happened. The straps on the end of the hammock look small and week but proved their strength. We slept in the hammocks all 3 nights on our trip and every night was great, we both fell asleep quickly and woke up refreshed. The other reviews complaining...
