Testing the Anymaka Hammock Stand - Kayak Hipster

[@Makingdifference100]

I got to have one of these. Man. I found my Christmas gift.

I hope they feel that giving you one is worth it because I backed them now as well. ;) Used to love sleeping in my hammock while backpacking, but in car camping with a family often have places without suitable trees. I also don’t have trees I can use in my yard. The great thing about this is that I will be able to use it regularly at home, but unlike a big yard mount, I’ll be able to take it wherever I go. Plus take it up and down at home as needs arise rather than needing a permanent spot all the time. Thanks for adding this to your regular kayaking output.

I love hammocks! I have one 2nd story deck and one in yard. Just saw this on Instagram and after this video, I’m buying one. Great video.

[@dennisbanaag9726]

Just got mine yesterday and am loving it already. Mostly for backyard use but will try taking it on the road.

[@Built05STI]

Just received mine. Very impressed with the quality and ease of use.

[@ryans.9405]

Thanks for the video

[@dave.in.oregon]

Great video. As an avid hammock camper, I've seen many of these out there but the Anymaka hammock stand has really nailed it. I just backed them on Kickstarter too. Also as a fellow Jeep owner I'd love to see your Kayak mounting setup for the Wrangler. Has anything changed since you last posted the video 7 years ago? Thanks.

[@KayakHipster]

Nice! Yeah, the mounting setup is pretty much the same. Different cage but same hullavator setup - I made two recent short clips that show it

Very cool !

[@favianngang3458]

Nice, will the canopy cover hold up against winds? It provides good shade against sun but feels like it’ll get destroyed by strong winds.

This doesn't look like it will work with most fixed ridgeline hammocks like Haven, Hennessey, or possibly Amok. (There are more like Warbonnet and Dutchware as examples. ) I have tried several stands with the several hammock models I have purchased since 2020. I sleep in a hammock every night in my room and a good stand for these types of hammocks has proven to be a challenge to find. (I have a Kammock Swiftlet, Tensa 4 and now a Yobogear Hive.) Any insights on using this stand with the hammlcks mentioned above?

[@jamesb8818]

i am only asking this because i want to understand size to hammock ratio - please no offense. how tall are you? you look around 5'8 maybe 150lbs?

[@Element0f_1]

I'm 6 feet tall, 270 lbs and laying very comfortably in it as I type this.

[@ulbushcrafting6592]

What’s the max distance you can set it at? For my hammock, I need a minimum distance of 2.5 meters or 8.2 feet. I don’t think the Anymaka will work 😢

[@aliciabarlow1446]

You didn’t show you folding it up could it easily be done with one hand? I only have one working hand is why I ask

[@JCThueson]

Would this work with an underquilt/overquilt setup?

[@cougarmeat8803]

Looks like that would be a challenge. Note none of the reviews I've seen so far mention the horizontal distance between support ends. The UQ normally attaches at the hammock end loops. But with this stand those hammock ends are folded over the stand ends. Assuming - and that's a big assumption at this point - the horizontal distance will accommodate the usual 11 ft hammock, you may have to go back to using a sleeping pad. Note the same, "How does this work with it?" question applies to a bugnet.

[@patrickbuick5459]

Their site has some dimensions on it when I just looked. I suspect it may be an issue within the maximum distance of 105 inches between arms.

[@anhtuanb]

I find it hard to get in for short people, like under 5.6'. If you lower it, then your butt will touch the base frame when you sit in.

[@dennisbanaag9726]

Easily solved with a small folding step stool.

[@Ryanstuff]

Would be beneficial to know how tall you are.

[@KayakHipster]

No problem, I’m 6 feet tall.

[@manuelmetallica]

Nice video and show off the stand, but as a hammock person the stand is too short, too heavy, no place for a tarp and expensive, eno nomad is a better choise. But thats just my opinion, greetings

[@ericmorris3509]

At least lay on it so we know it’s at least comfortable.
