The hooks are question mark shaped and are labelled as hammock hooks and able to support over 300 lbs. I’m just wondering if my wall will fall down or if the 2×4 inside it can really support that sort of tension.

I want to hang a hammock in my room off two studs (either in the wall or in the roof). I expect to place less than 400 lbs in the hammock at any given time. i would use two s-hooks and hook screws. Is this sufficient?

Tent, check! Flashlights with batteries, all working! Jugs, spoons, and plates, all here! Jacket, extra clothes, caps, all in the bag! Matches, utility knife, I almost forgot! Sleeping bag, ok! Hammock, why not? Camping chair, hmmm… My Coleman Camping Chair that I had for Christmas. Should I bring it with me? Naah, forget it! Too impractical! I have all I will ever need.

Sounds familiar? Before a camp trip, we hustle and bustle searching for the right camping equipments. We grab and go, while reminding ourselves of the last camping experience and what we brought along. Typically, our list comprises of the bear essentials, with a few luxury items we can never go without. And most of the time, the camping chair fails to be on that list even as a luxury item.

Most of us consider it best to just sit anywhere. People considers it as part of the camping experience to sit on rocks, logs and tree stumps, while the majority find it more practical to squat, avoiding the dirt. However, whenever we see someone able to sit with ease and comfort in one of the Coleman Camping chairs, we tend to be a little bit envious. And what happens when that person leave the chair? Oh yes, we, who sit on the dust look at each other from the sides, sensing the slightest movement, the slightest hint of intent. Then we walk ever so carefully yet hurriedly towards that small camping chair, and we sit like we have never sat before. I may have exaggerated a bit, but the point is that everyone enjoys the luxury of a camping chair however impractical it may seem at first.

And this scenario usually repeats itself, especially on long hikes. The fast walkers moving too quickly, later realizes that some of their companions are getting weary and wanted to take a rest. So they stop for a while and find a spot to relax. Some sit on big roots, others squat, while a few sit on their ever so reliable camp chairs. “What! Where did that come from?” is the typical response.

Some of other uses of camping chairs, like as an elevated platform for big water jugs is usually overlooked. We only realize the need when it arises. So why not just try to bring it with you the next time you go on a camping trip. You will not regret it.

I’m going camping with my family and another family this weekend, and I have a new tree hammock that only holds 200 pounds.

The other family members are all quite heavy - well over 200 pounds each. What is the proper way to make sure they know my hammock will not hold them?

Steve Cagney asked:


What comes to mind when you think about hammock swings? You think of lazy summer days just relaxing in a comfortable hammock. Did you know that hammocks actually provide some health benefits as well? Recently, many doctors and therapists have been prescribing hammock usage to patients with chronic pain of the back and legs. Why is this?

It really comes down to gravity. A hammock forms to your body when you lay on it. Due to the hugging effect that occurs when lying on a hammock, your body weight is distributed evenly across the surface area of your body. All your weight no longer rests on your muscles. Removing the excess weight from those muscles allows them and your spine to relax and help to reduce pain in those areas. This is a huge benefit for those that suffer from bad backs and pain in their lower extremities.

Another benefit from using hammocks is that they are a great stress reliever. In today’s world people’s stress levels are getting higher and higher from the world around them. Lying in a hammock once a day can give your body a reduction in your stress level thus helping to increase the strength of your immune system.

Focus is a third benefit you can receive from using a hammock. It is believed that the swinging movement caused by a hammock stimulates the brain allowing for increased concentration. The motion helps stimulate the cerebral cortex, the area of the brain known for concentration. Tests have shown that people that read while in hammocks tend to comprehend the material better than those reading in a chair or a bed. Think about to when you were a baby. Most of the chairs you were in offered a swinging movement. This helps remind the baby of being in the mother’s womb. When the mother walks the baby naturally feels a swinging type movement.

The best part about a hammock is that they usually fit all sizes of people. Since the hammock conforms to one’s body anyone can lay in a hammock. Due to this the comfort a hammock can provide is unmatched to many other types of chairs and beds. Because hammocks are so comfortable many Americans are using them as their main bed to sleep on.

As you can see hammocks provide many health benefits to their owners. This should make the decision of buying a hammock or hammock swings that much easier. Who said you can’t enjoy something that is so good for you. Cause lets face it, it doesn’t happen that often.
