Grand Trunk Hammock Review
Happy National Hammock Day a little early.
In honor of National Hammock Day, I reviewed the Grand Trunk hammock. Boy things have sure changed in the hammock industry. I was amazed by how easy it was to set up the Grand Trunk hammock. I was able to get it up and ready for sleeping within 15 minutes. And that was on my first try. I’m sure I’ll get faster with time.
Sleeping on the Hammock
But the big test came a little while later. How comfortable was it? Well so far, I’ve only napped in it. And it was incredibly comfortable. I slept like a baby. It’s been awhile since I’ve slept in anything suspended from a tree, so I was a bit apprehensive. Will it flip? Will it hold me? Will I end up with a stiff neck. The answers were no, yes and no. Everything went well with the trial hammock nap. I can’t wait to try it overnight. But I knew there wouldn’t be a chance for that to happen before National Hammock day, so a nap was an adequate trial.
Best Uses for Grand Trunk Hammock
Where can you use a Grand Trunk Hammock? How about these suggestions?
- backpacking – It’s way lighter than old-school hammocks.
- car camping – Tents are so 1990s. Try a hammock on your next camp-out.
- overnight ticket sales – Okay, most ticket lines don’t have a pair of trees nearby but if you’re waiting for the annual Personal Transportation Vehicle Show to start, you can pitch your hammock in Community Park.
- boating- Just like intrepid sailors of old, you can hang your hammock between the spar and the mainsail, (okay, I have no nautical background, so I may have made those terms up) and sleep with the ocean breeze rocking you gently to and fro.
