JUNGLE HAMMOCK INFORMATION |
  The Jungle Hammock is
designed for extreme wet conditions. It is extra-long and extra-strong with
a sturdy YKK zipper which you can open from the outside or the inside. The
dark colored netting is very fine mesh which is easy to see out of. It will
keep out mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and black flies, and the elastic cords will keep the netting away from your
face and body. In many countries of the world, with different types of
resistant malaria, sleeping sickness and dengue fever, the best prophylactic
is "not to get bitten." This hammock is designed to keep you from being
bitten from insects and prevent disease. |
  The hammock comes with two
12 foot long (1/2" nylon web) straps. It is important to use the
Correct Knots in hanging the hammock. The
ends of the hammock are reinforced for the strap to pass through, and these
straps can easily be slid out and replaced by a longer rope if desired.
Jungle Hammock Review.
Comments from our customers. |
  The stuff sack for Jungle
Hammock and Fly measures 13" high x 6" wide and weighs 1.6kg
(3.5lbs). This hammock can also be used on the ground or on your bed as
a personal "mosquito tent" if you don't like sleeping in hammocks (or if
there are no trees nearby). It also very useful for keeping out snakes,
scorpions and everything else while you sleep. The lines can attach to a
tree branch or a stick to hold up the netting away from your face. For more information,
read Allen Leigh's basic instructions for "Camping
in a Hammock." |
  The Diamond Rain Fly comes with 4 lines for the 4 attach points. There is also an additional long
line as a spare. The attach points on the corner of the Rain Fly are
reinforced with nylon web, and we suggest you use a double sheet bend for
attaching the line to the Rain Fly loops.
Double Sheet Bend Knot |
  The Diamond-shaped Rain
Fly Sheet is made of waterproof Nylon Tafta (210T) and provides the maximum
rain shelter with the minimum amount of material. This rain sheet only has 4
attach points, so that you can tie two lines to the tree and then the other
two lines you can stake out perpendicular to the hammock. The rain sheet extends
50cm. beyond each end of the hammock. You can tie a knot in the line for the
rain to drip from, so that it does not run down the line to the rain fly.
