Anyone interested in getting into hammock camping, but don't want to spend a lot? The Grand Trunk Ultralight is the go to recommendation for cheap entry level hammocks, and at $20 it's a great price. Today Amazon has them for $13.50.... for that price, why not?

Also hammock thread. Will post a few hammock pics.

I'm 300 pounds should I just skip this and sleep on the ground with the rest of the animals until I lose some weight?

Yeah the Grand trunk ultralight is a little smaller, as a big guy you'd want a double hammock anyways. Just get one that's rated for like 400 lbs.

I have a Yukon Double, and the Grand trunk ultralight, I'm 6'1" 225lbs. I def like the size of the double better. You can still sleep in the Grand trunk though, will just be a little smaller.

i just bought that gand trunk ultralight b/c it was 13 dolla but i goit $6 straps from china- i'm assuming i can just use truck tie down straps in the mean time. i'm not gonna use it for primary shelter- just for drunk naps innawoods. can a pad and a sleeping bag fit in this thing?

Yes the pad and bag should fit fine. You can make some straps out of strong rope or 750 paracord very easily.

It's that a weatherproof rain fly or just a cover? Would be awesome if I could ditch my tarp and use that as my weather protection. Right now I generally only camp if the weather looks good, so I only need the tarp in case the weather really turns on me.

it's a waterproof tarp! the DD jungle hammock it comes with it. the bugnet is also removable of course.

I bought an extra tarp because they're designed to go over the top or bottom. when i put both on i can withstand horizontal rain. in the cold i use a (rather expensive) underquilt and the lower tarp allows me to protect it from the elements. it's pretty dope seeing as you don't have to run any lines or cordage for the tarps.

the top tarp clasps over the bottom of the spreader poles and has drawstrings to tie it down over the ends and the bottom tarp velcroes to the zipper webbing and also ties tight around the ends. its a joy.

Nice! Literally just got my DD travel hammock. Looking forward to trying it out any day. Didn't get a tarp because DD's were too expensive and I don't mind the extra load of a moderately cheap one.

that's a jim dandy! i love how the netting can be rolled-up and away from the hammock on that model. the jungle hammock isn't as accommodating, you kinda have to have it on or off. no biggie though, still love the thing

Yeah I just unrolled it and it seems so nice. Pretty light, too.

Plus the shipping was ridiculous. Ordered it two days ago and didn't pay any extra for shipping, came from UK.

I once ordered something mid-afternoon (after the last post-collection times) from DD and it still arrived the next morning. I swear they're magic.

Is there a good hammock for a 5'2 dude and 40 lb dog? I dunno if we could both fit in one and be comfortable.
