Must-Have Gear: Camping, Hiking, And Backpacking With A Hammock

Whether you're a casual camper or hiker or a dedicated backpacker, a lightweight hammock is one piece of gear you should never be without!

Trek Light's portable hammocks are especially suitable for modern, active, environmentally conscious individuals who realize that healthy living includes both outdoor activity and ample relaxation.

More comfortable than a camping chair, and far lighter than a tent, a Trek Light portable camping hammock is the perfect addition to your outdoor gear collection. It slips into its own tiny, compact pouch, so you can bring it along on any trip no matter how much gear you’ve packed.

Setting up your hammock is a breeze , and you will rest easy knowing you have the most comfortable seat around. If you like to camp from the car, you can put your travel hammock up in minutes and leave it there for your whole trip. If you’re a backpacker, you can easily shave crucial weight from your pack by replacing your tent with a Trek Light camping hammock.

No matter what you do during the day, your campsite is your reward - the place you picked to unwind, have dinner, enjoy the stars, and sleep outdoors. Why deal with hard, uneven ground when you can relax, suspended in a hammock, looking up at the stars?

Since Trek Light was founded by a backpacker , we know the importance of keeping your pack as light as possible and one of the ways to do that is to bring along items that have multiple uses. A Trek Light camping hammock is a piece of gear that does just that.

If you’re backpacking in bear country, your Trek Light camping hammock can double as a bear pouch for hoisting your food and supplies out of a bear’s reach. Just wrap your food supplies in the hammock, pull both ends together and use a piece of cord or your hammock rope to hoist it up into the air like you would any bear hang .

If you’re into ultralight backpacking , replace your tent with a hammock – it weighs less, is low impact, does not require flat ground, and can be setup on the ground as a bivy shelter when there are no trees. Read more about the reasons to switch from a tent to a hammock here!

Do you usually take along carabiners with you to clip items to your pack? Upgrade to our ultralight, backpacking carabiners and at the end of the day use them to hang your hammock. Two for one! Trek Light portable camping hammocks can be used for everything from a picnic blanket to a makeshift stretcher if someone gets hurt.

Here’s a look at some of the benefits of adding a Trek Light portable camping hammock to your backpacking gear, your camping collection, or on any outdoor trip:

• Hammocks are ultralight and super compact - think outside the tent!
• Hammock set-up takes much less time than a tent. Before you know it, you are ready to relax, cook your food, hang out by the fire, or just close your eyes and sleep better than you ever have while camping in the past.
• No need for flat, even ground! Hammocks can be set up over rocks, roots, wet ground, even on a hill.
• Sleeping in a hammock is environmentally friendly. Hanging a hammock protects the land you’re enjoying by not flattening plants and packing the soil.
• Sleeping in a hammock is good for you !

Did we mention that all Trek Light hammocks come with a  Lifetime Warranty & Happiness Guarantee ?!

Here's What Our Customers Say:

"My husband went on and on...and on about these 2 person Trek Light hammocks. We just started hammock camping last year. We've always been big campers, just hadn't ventured into hammocks until recently. And we wouldn't go back! The Trek Light Double Hammock lives up to the hype!" - Kate T.

"Camping and sleeping on the ground was really rough on my lower back. After two surgeries I thought camping would not be fun anymore! My Trek Light saves the day! No more stiff back from sleeping on the ground!" - Pam G.

"I picked this up before I went backpacking in South America. I cant tell you how many times it made my day (or night for that matter). So light and worth every (tiny) inch of space in the pack!" - Adam F.

There are many reasons for hikers and backpackers to embrace hammock camping: the use of tree hugger straps for suspension allows hammockers to follow Leave No Trace ethics (although officially LNT has no recommendation for or against hammock camping); the flexibility of setup allows one to camp in areas where rocky, damp, or uneven terrain might make tent camping impossible; hammock and tarp options can shave grams off one's base weight, and more.

But I love them because they are fun! Get in a hammock and feel the world float away. Stretch in one in the sun and waken to find yourself refreshed from an untroubled dream. Stretch one between two trees and discover the leaves have turned into dollar bills . . .  oh, wait! That was just the dream. But they are fun.

One recent day I went for a day hike along some lakeshore watershed trails. I was hiking along a ridge I'd not explored before, and the trail suddenly curved directly toward the lake, up the hill. Where the trail veered back to my left to follow the shoreline, I went straight, just over the crest of the ridge and a few steps down the precipitous slope that fell away to the water below.

It was here that I pulled out my Trek Light Gear Double (hereafter TLG Double) and relaxed for an unhurried rest. An envious hiker walked past; a seagull cried out over the lake. This was heaven!

Trek Light Gear was founded by Seth Haber and a friend; it is a company with a refreshing philosophy (reducing stress and more), and I have been impressed by their customer service. Seth and friends have also created a good supply of information for prospective hammockers on the TLG web site, a useful resource for those sorting through various options and techniques. The TLG Double hammock is made of anti-mildew, anti-rot parachute nylon. Seams are triple-stitched for durability and strength. Fit and finish are top notch. A convenient design feature is the integrated storage pouch that--when the hammock is in use--serves as a pocket for glasses, keys, etc., or which holds the hammock when it is not in use. I own both the TLG Single and the TLG Double; what I notice with the Double is that--unlike the TLG Single's--this storage pouch gets quite full and it is a bit of a struggle to squeeze in my whoopee slings, tree hugger straps, and carabiners for suspension. A modest enlargement of this pouch would make this no problem.

The TLG Double comes in any of 20 color combinations, including camp for those who wish to stealth camp or who wish to protect their rest by escaping undisturbed from prying eyes. Mine is the khaki and green model, purchased when TLG had a killer sale before the holidays (look for those if you're interested).

I like the parachute cloth; it creates an interesting shimmer for the eye, feels luxurious to the touch, and dries quickly. Weighing 20 ounces (567g), the TLG Double fits easily into pack, a compressible wad of material that adapts well to nooks and crannies. The suspension elements that the TLG Double comes with include two short pieces of static cord attached to two S-hooks.

These I promptly replaced with whoopee slings and tree hugger straps (not TLG products--I made my own; see image above) to shave weight and add versatility, but TLG does offer a separate rope and carabiner bundle kit for those who wish to go that route.

Measuring 6x10 feet, the TLG Double allows one generous space to stretch out, more than six feet on the diagonal, which is the preferred mode of resting or sleeping among hammock devotees. When prone on the diagonal, one is close to being flat--the banana effect of lying in the hammock in line with the suspension points is negated. Add a sleep pad inside the hammock or an underquilt below, and pull a sleeping bag or top quilt over your body, and the TLG Double will permit you to get a great night's sleep.

It took me awhile to get my angles just right, but then--wow! I was out cold and awaking from deep REM sleep, refreshed and amazed by the comfort of my hammock. I consider myself a relative novice in hammock camping, but the bug has bitten me, and I don't see going back to tents of my own volition. 

The TLG Double is my constant companion on more ambitious day hikes when getting off my feet for a while is a welcome break; within a minute or two I can be reclining in comfort, swinging in the breeze. It is also the basis for my hammock camping system (I added the bug net TLG offers to stave off skeeters and the like). So far, so much fun!

This hammock is awesome. it is so comfortable, even with me and my girlfriend in it. Way better night's sleep than in a tent on the ground. Very lightweight.
