5 Ultralight Hammocks

Now that you know how to tie a nag’s head hammock, you can start looking for trees and other materials to make one! Gather up all the people in your neighborhood and have a contest to see who can make the best nags head hammock design. At the end of the summer, you’ll also be able to show it off while camping with friends or even inside your backyard.

“I don’t want to buy a hammock,” was my protest when friends were planning a backyard barbeque. “You could just tie some ropes between the trees, you know. You do have trees, don’t you?” When they insisted that I at least get some rope, I found myself heading out the door with a shopping list in hand.
