The site is great the guy who started this online store has a good story too. I encourage you to go read the story in their site just click about us and read. The short version is this man broke his back mountain biking, and once he was rehabbed he wanted to get outdoors again. He found that everything was really heavy, or expensive. The site has items that are smart, lightweight, sometimes with multi uses, and the prices can't be beat by anyone.
Back to Wednesday I spend sometime at work looking at each page. I found maybe a dozen items I liked, but I decided to get one that really interested me. It is a hammock, a net style hammock. I was interested because the web site said it could hold up to 2000 lbs. 2000 lbs thats amazing, Sarah and I and about 1700 lbs could lay on this thing and it would hold us, that just sold it for me. So it came Friday and I had a chance to take a couple naps on it this past weekend.
It is nice and light weighs about a pound, and small rolls up just a little bigger then a softball. Comfortable to sleep in, I have one made from parachute material, it is lighter and just as comfortable, but this one holds a hundred times more weight. Also this one is a net so if you are in a survival situation you could use it as a net, if you are a back packer you can hang your bag in it over night to keep bears and other animals out of your food. Sleeping in it in the sun this weekend, made me feel like I was on Gilligan's Island, and the style matched the feeling
Well hopefully I'll get out fishing this week sometime.
