  • Can A Parachute Hammock Be Used As An Actual Parachute?

    Because the material we use in our hammocks is what's known as "parachute nylon", and it shares a relationship with the same material used in actual parachutes, we suppose it's not completely crazy for people to ask whether the hammocks can also be used as mini-parachutes. We've heard it asked en...

  • Compatible Underquilts For Trek Light Gear Hammocks

  • Staying Warm In Your Hammock

However, Trek Light hammocks are also perfectly suited for hammock camping in any se...

  • Tree Safety 101: Rope vs. Webbing

    The question of rope causing damage vs. webbing causes a lot of heated debate in the hammock world. The argument we hear often is that flat webbing disperses pressure more than rope and therefore is tree-safe, while ropes are inherently bad.
