Jeferson: I'm having a slightly difficult time reviewing this product. On one hand the hammock is a superb, high-quality product. On the other hand, the hammock is very difficult to sleep in because of its smaller dimensions. Hence the difficulty of the review -- how do I take into account my (lack of) personal comfort in a fantastic hammock? I've owned this hammock for a year now and have taken it on 3 maybe 4 backpacking trips. I LOVE the weight and size of this hammock when it is stuffed in its stuff sack. When packed, it is about the size of a large orange and weighs next to nothing. The quality of the Nano 7 is top-notch; high quality fabric, triple stitched on the ends, and excellent carabiners. This is where the review gets a little difficult; I love the product, I'm glad I bought it, but I just can't get comfortable while laying in it. At 5' 8'' I'm not the tallest guy on the planet, yet I still have a hard time finding a comfortable sleeping position in the hammock. Part of the problem, I think, are the dimensions of the hammock. In order to achieve the 7 oz hammock weight, Grand Trunk had to skimp on the fabric. At only 9' by 4' this hammock is shorter and slimmer than almost all...

Chelsea: Small and light. Used many times and always enjoyed. Recommend the Grand Trunk tree sling to go with it, very convenient and easy on trees.

LaurenceLaurence: This is my second Grand Trunk hammock. The first was the one with the bug screen, which is super awesome on those buggy camping trips, but was a bit bulky for just throwing into my daypack. The nano is fantastic for that, packing into the integrated stuff sack and is really light. I use the hammock with the Vivere tree straps, which now weigh more and is larger than the hammock itself.

Size wise, it is definitely smaller than the other hammock, with the downside of not being able to wrap it around me when a cool breeze comes in. I'm 5'9" and the hammock fits me fine, but I can't see someone a lot taller being comfortable.

Anton61: Das Nutzen von Hängematten war mir bisher lediglich aus dem Home-Bereich (Also die Nutzung im Garten.), höchstens noch im Camping-Bereich, bekannt.
Und was sind das doch für große Hängematten, teilweise sogar ziemlich sperrig. Anders diese hier von Grand Trunk. Und obwohl mir die Firma bzw. die Marke im Outdoorbereich überhaupt nichts sagt, weiß die Hängematte zu überzeugen.
Mit Ihren Kompakten Maßen findet sie in jedem Rucksack Ihren Platz. Theoretisch passt sie auch in viele Handtaschen. Die Mitnahme zur Gartenparty von Freunden, sorgt auch dort für überraschte Gesichter. Doch zum Aufhängen benötigt man erstmal entsprechende Schlingen, die der Hersteller natürlich gleich mit anbietet.

Ähnlich wie bei manchen Regenjacken, lässt sich die Hängematte in Ihrer angenähten Tasche komplett verstauen. Dies geht auch recht problemlos und zügig, das Aufbauen auch.

Ich bin 181 cm groß und hatte gerade so Platz. Viel größer sollte man also nicht sein. Getragen hat sie mich locker. Das Gewicht wird also kein Problem sein. Mit Naßwerden hat diese Hängematte keine Probleme. Durch das Nylon, ist sie rel. schnell wieder getrocknet.

Fazit: Durch...

Captain Amazoni: Wir haben die Hängematte zunächst direkt nach Erhalt im Garten ausprobiert. Sie ist wirklich ultraleicht und sehr kompakt und "edel" verpackt. Ideal zum Wandern oder Campen oder auch in den Park. Sie ist auch sehr einfach in der Bedienung. Ich würde dieses Produkt auf jeden fall für alle empfehlen, die gerne wandern und gerne schaukeln. Sehr schöne Idee.

C. Martin: For actual sleeping overnight, it's just not roomy enough. Laying diagonally, my head and feet are at the margins. I'm about 5 feet 9 inches tall.

It seems to wrap around oneself more than larger hammocks do, which can feel confining. Using a ridgeline to pull the ends closer together helps with this.

Next I'll probably buy the Grand Trunk ultralight (with another 6 inches in each dimension).

Otherwise, great minimal hammock. It held up through a busy summer last year: probably 20+ nights, held two people sitting, cigarette burns, and so forth.

Amazon Customer: I have had my Nano for almost a year now, and I love it! We also have an ENO Double Nest and a few Grand Trunk Ultralights, which are all great, but the Nano is by far my favorite. First, it's just cool - how could something so small unfold to be such an incredibly comfortable and strong hammock? I've used my Nano in several types of situations, like camping, hiking, hanging out at the lake, and reading in the backyard. It is so light-weight that I can easily slip it into my purse and have it with me for whatever might come up. One time that I was very thankful to have the Nano in my purse was when I unexpectedly got stuck at an airport overnight and used the hammock as a blanket. After a year's worth of heavy use, my Nano is still in great shape.

2016 UPDATE: This hammock is still in great shape after several years of regular use.

2021 UPDATE: Still my favorite hammock after 10 years. The best upgrade I've made was getting a custom asym tarp from Simply Light Designs that covers my nano perfectly and is also light weight.

Cranky Old Guy: I bought this as part of my primary sleep/shelter system for backpacking trips. Hammock camping is completely different than hammock napping; staying warm over night takes more than just getting in a sleeping bag (you'll compress the insulation under you and it won't insulate) but once you understand the basics, it's a wonderful back country choice. (Hammockforums.net is a great source of information if you're interested.) I replaced the carabiners with "whoopie slings" (google it), a light weight tarp, a "top quilt" and an "under quilt" for under 3 pounds. Very few sleep/shelter systems can approach this weight and none that are close to this weight offer such a comfortable way to sleep.

This is a small hammock but I can lay at a slight angle across the hammock and sleep on my side. (I'm 5-10, 170 pounds.) Larger hammocks have more fabric that cradles you, with the Nano 7, you have to get used to the feel of being right on the edge. Using my extra clothes in a stuff sack as a pillow, I spent 3 comfortable nights in temperatures ranging from 80 to just under 50 and the very light weight kept my pack weight down and that meant more comfortable hiking too.

So, if...

Ryan L. Bowser: I upgraded my ultralight Grand Trunk hammock before my Appalachian Trail hike(half the trail), to the Nano 7; and I couldn't be happier. This hammock is nothing short of amazing. Super light, super comfy(the material stretches slightly to accommodate just about any position without hard spots). The shorter length is nice for extra rainfly coverage(I'm 6'2"). The only minor problem I've had, is that the sewn on storage pocket is unraveling.... but what can you expect from over a thousand miles of use this season? Awesome product! Don't think twice if you're considering purchasing a camping hammock.
