Hammock Camping is Great Fun!

What a way to enjoy the outdoors! I can’t imagine a better way to relax, than to kick back in a hammock stretched out over a stream, listening to the sounds of the water moving moving over the rocks below me or the sounds of a breeze moving thru the trees above me. The great thing about hammock camping is, the hammocks are lightweight to carry and pack down small. A single wide ENO hammock will pack down to the size of a softball, a double hammock will pack down to the sized of a grapefruit. Backpackers love the hammocks as another option to packing a tent simply because of the lightweight and small size. Most popular hammocks today weigh around 12 to 22 ozs. and are made from a high strength nylon that will support 250 to 400 lbs. of body weight. There are hammocks made from cotton, like the Roatan Hammock that will weigh over 3 lbs. and support 450 lbs. of body weight. Hammocks come in an array of fun colors! Hammocks are versatile and can be used in the backyard, for camping, on a boat, on a deck or anywhere your imagination leads you. Give hammock camping a try, venture out, create new experiences! Happy Camping!

Is Your Campfire Out?

Campfires are great! I don’t know one camper that doesn’t like a good campfire to cook in, tell stories around or just spend some quality time with family and friends roasting some marshmallows over the campfire. With all the pleasure we get from our campfire we want to remember some good safety rules, always make sure your campfire is out before laying down to sleep at night and before breaking camp when it’s time to head home. You’ll want to bring extra water to pour on the fire and a shovel to help stir the dowsed coals. Checkout the video below for great tips on putting out a campfire.
