When traveling, managing to stay is often the first thing that comes to mind. Obviously nobody wants to have to sleep on the streets, even in a hot country. When we landed in a strange and remote place, and no hotel or benevolent soul is there to accommodate us, an ideal solution: the travel hammock!
Frank is passionate about hammocks since he experienced the first night in a remote village in Mexico, The Cla-Tix (Colima). While searching or sleep he decided to get his first Mexican hammock, who became his companion for many years! For sleeping in a hammock, there is nothing more enjoyable ... Wedding snugly around your back, comfort is guaranteed. Bonus? The view of the stars.
Mexican hammock (here) net-like has the substantial advantage of taking up very little space in luggage, and weighs between 1.2 and 1.6 kg for the larger models called "extra family".
It was during a trip to Brazil Franck discovers an even lighter hammock: the Garimpeiro. A small model weighing only 400 grams used by road by installing it under the axles of their truck. But its very plastic canvas was not one as comfortable as the Mexican hammock model.
In the early 2000s, well inspired travelers have had the ingenious idea of creating a canvas hammock nylon (like parachutes), which brings many advantages: windproof, dries quickly, stays cool in the sun, nylon is also a micro-porous fabric "breathes". Moreover, its own storage bag is sewn on to the store or unpack a few seconds. For 40 €, you can then stay for free wherever you like!
This travel hammock weighs only 600 grams with the strings of skirmishes for the trees! Find your happiness here for installation do not panic, Franck and his assistant Kimi we propose a very simple and essential demonstration to install a hammock where you are.
And if it rains? I know you're asking the question and I'll answer! Using a very thin covering called Tarp (80 grams per m2) you can stretch a cord above your hammock and you just have to put your tarp covering over your "bed" to sleep dry.
The hammock has so many benefits, besides the fact that it is available at a reasonable price, it is ideal for sleep comfortably everywhere. The only thing required here is to find two beautiful trees welcoming to spend a beautiful night under the stars.
