Four stakes are in the middle, with the combination tarp/bug net straps on the right. The sage colored item with the carabiner is the hammock with integrated bug net. Out of the stuff sack the complete system can be viewed. So, the sack never has to be completely removed from the hammock. For the experienced hanger, there are a few parts of the system that will make more sense after a quick read through.Īnother nice feature of the stuff sack is one of the carabiners feeds though a slot in the end. If you are new to hammock hanging, you will find these instructions helpful (also check my "Hammock Hanging 101" discussion at the bottom of this review). Although I was hesitant to carry the stakes with the hammock and tarp, I never had any wear issues in the bag.Īttached to the inside of the stuff sack are clear instructions on how to set up each component of the system. The stakes and straps have their own separate compartments in the stuff sack. One of the pros to the Hammock House is that this stuff sack is large enough to stuff everything back in without fighting for space or trying to reproduce factory folding. Inside the stuff sack, all the components of the system were neatly arranged. Placed on an official postage scale the system weighed 4 lbs 4.9 oz, which is nearly 9 ounces heavier than advertised (I will discuss weight issues as they pertain to individual components). The entire set up arrived in a 6.5" by 15" stuff sack. For all intents and purposes, this is a 9' hammock.) The extra foot is from adding in the sewn loops and carabiners. Hammock Length 124 in (This is a bit deceptive.Packed dimension: (Advertised) 9" x 15" (Using a ruler) 6.5" x 15".Weight: (Advertised) 3lbs 10oz (On a postal scale) 4lbs 5oz.During that time I have slept in and/or tested eight different hammocks, ranging in size from ENO’s tiny Sub7 to my massive DangerBird by DreamHammock. I’ve been exclusively a hammock camper since 2010. Most photographs were taken while car camping, but most nights of testing were on the trail. Rain occurred three of the nine nights of testing. Six nights were backpacking on the Ozark Trail. One night was in the woods I manage for work. The Hammock House was tested nine nights during April 2017. I went into testing with the assumption this was a “beginners” hammock setup and came out believing this is everything a hammock hanger ever really needs. While there are little tweaks that could be done here and there, I found the Hammock House to be a quality system that gives you everything you need as a hammock camper. If you are not a detail-oriented person, then you can stop with this. Because I feel the need to discuss each component of the Hammock House in detail, this is a very long review.
