I've used a hammock that was set up almost the same way but used spreader bars at the ends. Now I use a jungle hammock and can sleep on the diagonal in it which is almost flat. I also use a rain fly ( tarp ) over the hammock for rain protection. It allows for ventilation and visibility of the surrounding area. That Night Cat appears to be a good hammock. Over here in the states we have the flat hammocks styles , one term for them is " bridge hammock ". I have found most hammocks with a spacer bar ( or that style ) at the ends tends to be tipsy.

I discovered with mine that if you put the stabiliser tapes out at 90degrees it stops the role..great video new subber!👍

I love the hammock set-up. Something I would definitely like to try myself but minus the cold!

I have watched loads of camping videos and hands down I enjoyed this video the most. Very well done without the ego of( I know it all attitude) of lots of previous videos I've seen. AWESOME JOB!

Excellent! Can't wait to get them both out! Hope you are feeling better, am also recovering from the lurgy 😞

@divum 9 ай бұрын

Once strapped out with tension, the hammock was very stable. Its worth putting the tension straps lower on a tree trunk. Yes, looking forward to a shared camp. Cold lurgy thingie passed after 3 days...

Was considering one of these but one sided entry and poor ventilation, I live in a hot climate, plus the inherently unstable design, saw me go to a Hennessy hammock.

@boerinmetkoeien7190 8 ай бұрын

Wauw, that hammock looks beautifull and comfortable. Expensive, I guess? But when your sleeping, is it possible to roll over to the other side? Thanks for the video

@divum 8 ай бұрын

Yes, you can roll over and side sleep. I think it's a very nice design. They are about £160/€180 on Amazon

oh boy the way you set it up its only a matter of time before you flip over. I don't see why anyone would get this over the Heaven Tent

@lauriebloggs8391 3 ай бұрын

1/3 the price? Self supporting as a tent which the Haven is not? With some practice it is true, it works very well and is comfortable. The Haven looks good, but not £400 plus good.....oh and you have to rely on that specific airbed with the Haven?

@Roman-nu1om 3 ай бұрын

@@lauriebloggs8391 The Haven is definitely worth the asking price (450€ in europe for the complete kit). You can use it with the Haven airpad or similar sized pads like the Thermarest Topo Luxe XL. Biwak tent set up is possible by using two hiking poles but I've never tested that. I acknowledge that the Night Cat might be cheaper (obviously their main selling point) but I don't go camping to save money but rather have a good time which usually requires good sleep.

The company’s website doesn’t readily state the INSIDE dimensions. Is there enough sleeping space inside to accommodate a person who is 6’4” (193cm)?

Great comment. I'm 1.91 meters tall or about 6'3" and I found the hammock spacious. I hope this helps

is the bottom definetly waterproof

@divum 4 ай бұрын

I believe so. It's the same material as the ground sheet of my tents. Night Cat advertises it as a stand-alone bivi tent...so the hammock bit becomes a ground sheet.

@lauriebloggs8391 4 ай бұрын

It has a sort of rubberised coating?
