I hammock camp and I buy gear. I do the later more often than the former. I bought the stand so I could try out the different hammocks that I buy. Itâs easy to assemble, I love the connection points because they work with all my different hammocks, itâs long enough for my 11â gathered end hammocks. Living in suburbia I sometimes hammock camp in the back yard to try out gear before taking it on the trail. One night while doing just that my neighbors were finishing a kitchen remodel at 10:30 pm, I opened the slider and wrestled the hammock stand into the living room. The plastic supports/stand-offs kept me from scuffing the wood floors. Simply put, I like this stand.
