Nice review. I love my Lawson hammock. I made several mods to it though. I added a sleeve on the bottom so I can slide in a full length pad. Then I added fixed polyester rope to each end as my suspension. I use repel rings attached to carabiners to adjust the hammock. I also tied shock cords to the four corners and stake them out to make the hammock more stable. Simple mods that make this a perfect set up. Thanks for the review. I enjoyed watching.

I have this and slept great in it the one night I was able to stay in it and not run to the car because the wind picked. What happened was the winds shifted and were coming off of the gulf of Mexico at a rather high speed and the rain fly started flapping so fast it was buzzing. I've never slept in a hammock before so I have nothing to compare it with. I can't wait to try it again. Just not sure what to do about the rain fly if the winds start blowing hard.

I use a warbonnet ridge runner that is very similar but is more stable than this one and can highly suggest trying to get the hammok as close to in the middle of the trees as you can. While sleeping in it with it being off center of the trees, you WILL end up bunched up towards the longer suspension line. It does not matter if you stake it down, many nights of camping in jungle hammoks, ridge hammoks and gathered end hammoks can attest to this happening.

I think he forgot the tent pole support bungies...

[@tylerhill1438]

Nevermind, just saw he addressed that...my apologies

[@HappilyEverOutdoors]

No problem Tyler, good looking out! When the bungies are in place it works just fine, it was my bad for not double-checking the design features beforehand. Thanks for watching!

Where did you get the cords to stabilizing the hammock?

[@timhikes8624]

I love mine, I bought a underquilt from jacks r better that works with it.

[@tylerhill1438]

Looking at buying one, would you recommend it?

[@HappilyEverOutdoors]

Yes, I would, unless you are looking to go ultra-light, then there may be better options out there for your needs. That being said, this is a well-built and well-designed hammock that I think is excellent for rugged use in the woods.

Looks like an uncomfortable, finicky PITA. No thanks. Plus, you didn't demonstrate getting in and out. Do you leave your boots on, leave them outside, etc? I can't see one appealing thing about this hammock. I'm a side sleeper, so this wouldn't work for me in a million years. Maybe to take a short nap, but not an overnight sleep.
