>>693506I am from Germany. I use Hammocks only because I read about them online.
It's because Hammocks are unsual/exotic equiqment. In Germany most outdoorians still stick in the 1980/1990's. Now I use Hammocks for sitting ! A amazing different and groundbreaking outdoor experience.
Another example: I never ever see a person hanging/straping a backpack on a tree. German hikers always put their backpack onto the ground. While moaning about how bad their back hurts ...
The last 25 years I did the same until I see a english-languaged youtube. A
considerable rise in comfort was dicoverd this day ...
This is why I love globalization (internet).
