I'm 5 years into it now,it is amazing sleep,my military wooby prevents cold butt.i do use the end hammock pillow to put under my knees.Usually one blanket is enough.i used to wiggle and toss and turn,but not anymore with the hammock.I love people's reactions when they find out I sleep in one as well as their faces as they see how much space I have in my room.Definately a great lifestyle change.Thumbs up here
About the size. I sleep in a tttm double hammock and have tried a smaller one and I'm almost 5'2" but I think a wider hammock is comfortable if you want a more comfortable option and are planning to sleep in it a lot. In my experience it's also easier to find the best angle when the hammock is wider. Great video!!!💪💪🌼
Cheers Roy! Very useful information.. I'm going to covert the V-berth on my tiny 25ft yacht into extra storage for longer passages, so this gives me more confidence to make those changes. The other thing you said about controlling sleeping heat I'd never thought of. I always boil in bed especially on hot nights and of course, that's from the mattress, so I should be able to regulate that a lot better. Take care!
@@MrDeanDog91 If you see at 5:25 in the video, the cord takes a bit of the tension from the straps. If you can zoom up/look at the connection between the cord, strap, and hammock. I hoped that helped.
Hi ! I sleep in cotton hammock but It's used/worn after one month of use. From France and I just want where you buy your hammock and or you have solutions for not quickly used a hammock 🙂 Thanks you so much !
Rocket man, I love the video and I’m getting into hammocks. Okay, so the prussick ridgeline set at 9 ft... Can you explain that? Are you trying to find consistent tightness each time you set it up? How does the prussick come into play? How’d you do it?
You have that exactly right. You can set up a hammock so it is parallel to the ground, but that isn't all that comfortable. You want a certain amount of 'sag'. The hammock I have is over 9' but I experimented with where I hooked the biners into the straps I have. Once I found what is comfortable with me, that's when I measured from biner to biner, the ridgeline. With a rope set to the right length using the prusssick, when ever I set up the hammock, it wont extend past the distance of the ridgeline rope. This means I get the same sag, so the hammock feels the same every time I get in.
Hello. I'd say hello in German, but I can't spell in English well as it is XP I do sleep on my side in the hammock so you can too. I do find that in a hammock I will naturally spend more time on my back than I would in a bed without being restless.
@@ChasingCornfields Thanks for your reply. :) Yesterday i ordered my Mexican King Hammock from ebay. This hammock is ideal for any single user or two/three/four adults. I will sleep alone in it and hopefully, this hammock will replace our bed. Because since over a year i wake up with back pain and stiffness in my neck. Please wish me luck, that it will turn out great, because i'v spend 130€ on this hammock and i never slept in a hammock before. I'm not pregnant, but i wonder, if a pregnant women can sleep in it too, without getting hurt. Sry for my bad english.. :)

Just bought my first hammock and it’s amazing
10/10 video! Buying a hammock stand and hammock for my bedroom to replace my bed due to back pain. Big love g
Good for you! I've been hammock sleeping indoors for 17 years.

I just started sleeping in a hammock. I'm sleeping so much better now!
Doing my research on hammock full time sleeping. Really really considering it.
I hope you've switched over! I've been sleeping on a Hammock for over 10 years
you doing it yet?
@@foxgamer900 Just added my 11th year
That cord is genius! I always have trouble getting the angle right
Makes all of the difference!!!!!
Can someone explain me this trick, my english is not the best so i dont get it how that cord helps ?
@@MrDeanDog91 If you see at 5:25 in the video, the cord takes a bit of the tension from the straps. If you can zoom up/look at the connection between the cord, strap, and hammock. I hoped that helped.
That accessory cord trick is so smart, I need to do that but cba to experiment lol
I personally find that a memory foam computer chair pillow works amazing in the hammock
Great video man.
Nice video :) Thinking of buying one, bougth a new bed 2 years ago.. Its not very good. Have a nice day
5 years later.. only 5-10 nights in a real bed.. Love my hammock.. Update from you Rocket Roy?
I sleep in an ENO double nest as well but my colors are the exact opposite of yours! Lol

Try buying a double hammock for camping. The wider the more comfortable they are I have found. Good luck to you! Hammocks rock!
@@michaelhorn9114 Thanks for the information.
You can buy hammocks that come with a stand. Just got my hammock today. It came with metal frame stand.
How long do your hammocks usually last?
Pretty long from what I have researched, (currently into sleeping in one). Only thing to wear it down is a hole created by something.

God, where have I gone wrong in life to be taking advice from this guy.
Lmao first thing out of the way..SEX. You earned a subscriber lol
Neanderthals probably wished they had hammocks.
