Wise Owl OutfittersHammock for Camping

Perfect starter hammock
I hang this under my dorm bed and it’s very comfortable. The hooks are sturdy and the length and width are perfect for one person, even though it can take up to 500lbs. I got it with the rope tie package so make sure you get those together

Perfect for First Timers
I've never had a hammock before and snagged this for a camping trip. I'm useless when it comes to outdoorsing so I was looking for something SUPER EASY to assemble and hang, and this one checked all of the boxes. It's so easy to use, take down, and pack away (the hammock packs away right into itself). I ended up buying one additional as a gift, and another for myself to keep in my car (you never know when you are going to come across some good hammock trees!)

Wish I had one sooner
I had debated getting one for awhile, they always looked fun but I was worried about how difficult it would be to set up. Now I wish I had gotten one years ago. Such an easy and fun way to spend a day in the park. The hammock is so simple to set up anywhere and lightweight to carry in the built-in bag. It was 10x easier to figure out the set up and packaging of it than I thought. I use mine almost every week now. Only concern is one of the straps that is connected to the hooks has been starting to fray ever so slightly. Overall one of my favorite purchases of the year!

Every Human Should Have One
Such a great hammock for two! You could absolutely fit more, size wise, but not recommended. We took ours to South Lake Tahoe and it was the best! So many people asked where we got it!I would recommend getting strap extensions or some sort if you plan to go where there are girthy trees. We ran to CVS and got vehicle tie downs that did the trick. That’s probably not safest, but it did the trick for us! Very very simple set up and repackaging!I highly recommend you buy one! You can use it anywhere….

You can stop looking for that perfect hammock!
Looking for the perfect hammock? You found it! I have tried a few different hammocks before this one, and this one could not have been more perfect!USE: The straps are STURDY and attach to the hammock with the carabineer clips included. The straps can be adjusted depending on how far apart or how big the trees are. The straps didn't slip at all the entire weekend. I purchased the pink one person hammock, and it stated it can hold up to 500 pounds.STORAGE: The hammock, straps, carabineers all store easily in the bag which is attached to the hammock. Packing it all back into the bag was a piece of cake! And to top it off, once its all packed into the bag, it is small, light weight and store easily with the rest of the camping items till next use. MUST HAVE camping accessory.

The near perfect Wise Owl single
I typically never leave reviews, but this hammock deserves to be recognized. Let me start by saying that if you don't want to read the whole review and you're looking at this hammock and you're on the fence about whether or not to buy it, buy it right now -- you will not be disappointed, if you're over 6'2" and/or over 180lbs, I would strongly suggest getting the double and not the single. For the price I don't think you'll ever be able to find a hammock that can rival it in quality or comfort.Full review:Before moving forward there are two things that should be kept in mind 1.) this is my first single hammock 2.) I've only had the hammock for a few weeks so my time with it is limited. I do however have a Grand Trunk double ($70) that I've had for nearly a year now that i'll be comparing to the Wise Owl ($26). My friends also have ENO's, so i'm familiar with them as well.BUILD QUALITY: 5/5 : The stitching is superb, no fraying, no popped stitches, no corners were cut when constructing this hammock. The colors are also top notch, true to the pictures that are posted here on amazon. If anything the hammock colors may actually look better in person. When compared to my Grand Trunk (GT) it's hard to say which is built better, due to the relative newness of the Wise Owl (WO). That said, when my GT first arrived their was some fraying at each end of the parachute where the material ends and meets the exposed cords. It should be noted that the fraying has not hindered the strength of the GT. I've taken it backpacking in Colorado and Michigan and allowed my younger cousins an nephew play around in it and the GT still doesn't even have so much as a snag or run in the material, but at a $70 price tag I would expect better craftsmanship out of the box. The cheaper WO is cosmetically perfect and therefore wins as far as aesthetics, and my hanging experience with it so far indicates that the WO is just as strong and durable as the GT. (for strength perspective, i've had a total of 340lbs in the GT with no issue, and i've had appox. 250lbs in the WO with 20mph winds and 30mph gust and the hammock remained solid despite the sway).COMFORT: 3/5 : OK my size DEFINITELY comes into play here. I'm a 6'4" 210lbs male and width wise it was noticeably cramp. The material of the hammock is exactly what you'd expect from other mid-ranged ($50-$80) hammocks, but this WO hammock only costs a mere $26 so you're getting quality material at literally a 1/2 or 1/3 of the cost. The material is soft, comfy, and breathable. And I can hear it now "yeah, but is it as soft and comfy as my ENO"? To you I say, yes, the material was just as comfy as an ENO. In fact, 3 sorority girls who were stacked 3 ENO's high right next to me all agreed that they were mad that they bought their ENO's after I asked each of them to try mine so I could have their opinion. They weren't mad because their ENO was uncomfortable, but because you can get the same level of comfort for half the price. Now for the reason I took off a star and rated the comfort a 3 -- for someone my size the 4"6" width just doesn't cut it, my shoulders were being forced inwards towards my chest in nearly every position i laid in, which really ruins the experience for me. My GT double obviously had none of these space issue but it's not really fair to compare the two. The WO double has the same dimensions as the GT double so I can assume it would be just as luxurious.PRICE: 5/5 : Are there other hammocks that are cheaper? Yeah. Are the other cheaper brands quality just as good? It's hard to say, I haven't seen or used their products. What I will say is that I have found no other company that offers such a high quality product with such a wide variety of color options at the price point that Wise Owl is at. For this reason I don't see any reason to buy any other brand.OVERALL : for me 4/5 : for the average person 5/5 : If you're in the market for a double, don't hesitate and buy a Wise Owl double. I know I will when I'm in the market for a new double. If you're a girl, or a guy who is under 6'2" and/or under 180lbs then the single will probably work fine for you. If you're around my size and need a single then, and I hate to do this Wise Owl, but I'm going to recommend the Grand Trunk single. Yes, the GT single is more expensive, but you get 6 extra inches of width which for me is worth it. Wise Owl, if you're reading this, PLEASE make a single XL that gives an extra 6 inches or foot of width, make it 30 or 35 dollars and i would buy it in a heartbeat.

Hammock What
I spend a lot of time, watching primal hunting videos, and just very curios about backwood adventures, I've been trying to invest in a tent for about 10 years now, I like high quality items, like Supreme, and what matters most is how fast can I set up a "tent" and take it down.Not only is this super easy to set up, theirs all these accessories that allow you to really enjoy the outdoors, and there all super friendly for hiking, or for commuting if you have a small sports car like muah,Every item is fabulous the blanket, easily goes back into it's traveling case, unlike the Supreme one, if your wondering about the quality of these compared to the best.Overall I really like how you can easily add a sleeping back to this hammock, and how everything goes back into it's bag with like no hassle... it's crazy!If you camping, enjoying the lake, hunting, this shh is a must have on top of what ever you already own, it gives you a place to sit, as well as a full on bed.... that's comfortable.but 2-3 hammocks even if you plan on just getting 1 for yourself, there so much fun to set up.

Great hammock
Great hammock easy to set up and pack away , nice long straps as well with 3 different points to clip to for adjustments.It’s only downfall would be no mosquito netting as for around the same price you can get one with a net so if you live in the uk like me or a place with bugs that will bite you go for a netted one other wise this hammock is great

Easy to erect
Always thought putting up a hammock would be difficult but it’s not at all. Great material, 2 of us manage to sit in it no problem

Nice!! BAD in rain though
I've tried out a few hammocks before, but for some reason this one is one of the more comfier ones. Ususally the edges are very tight and hurt if your legs are over the edge, but this 2P hammock feels really nice. Very spacious and it does not fold in on itself when you're inside like other may.The strap with this are great and easy to put on. Love it!I need a bug net and a tarp with this--------UPDATE:The hammock straps/carabiners are NOT good when it rains. Water will run down the tree and onto the strap. The water will then flow down the strap and eventually onto the hammock. I was laying in the hammock under a tarp (not provided by them) and after a while my back was feeling cold. I realized the entire thing was soaked.My friend's hammock was dry, not a Wise Owl Hammock. What I did was take a piece of string and tie a knot on the carabiners with loose ends of the knot hanging down. That way, when the water ran down the strap and onto the carabiners, the water would then go onto the string/rope and drip off, rather than continuing down and soaking the hammock.
