A Hammocking Tip

There have been several questions concerning insulating your Green Armadillo Backpacker Hammock. When you sleep on the ground heat gets trapped between your body and the ground. If you are sleeping in a hammock, that heat is lost because the distance between you and the ground increases therefore causing you to lose that important body heat..well here is a simple solution to fix this! The easiest way to keep your hammock insulated is to put your sleeping pad at the bottom of the hammock before you get in with your sleeping bag. We also recommend using a ultralight backpacking pillow for increased heat retention and comfort. When you do this, the heat will now be trapped between you and the sleeping pad. For those of you who just can't wait until summer to get out to the back country, this is a simple solution for you to stay toasty on those cold spring nights. As always, thanks for choosing Green Armadillo Gear for your outdoor adventures!

Hammocking 101

As the spring approaches and the snow begins to melt, everyone gets the itch to get outside!! Many of you may not be avid outdoorsmen or women and may think that a Green Armadillo Hammock may not be for you. For this reason we have created a product that is suitable for everyone. These ultra-light parachute-nylon hammocks are so comfortable and convenient for all occasions. Whether you are gearing up for a two week hike in the back woods of the Rockies or if you are going to the park for a day out, these unique hammocks will make your experience more enjoyable.

Forget your tent and gear up and go. Many of you may be wondering why you would drop your tent for a hammock...well here a few reasons why.

1- GA hammocks are extremely lightweight (1lb) and they can fit in the palm of your hand. Unless you pay more than $200.00 you can't find that in a tent.

2- Not only can you leave your tent behind, you can leave your sleeping pad behind! Green Armadillo single and double hammocks are way more comfortable than sleeping on one inch of foam.

3- GA hammocks work as a seat and a bed.

4- GA hammocks are elevated above the ground and allow one to "Chill in the Trees" have you ever got to a camp site and tried to find level ground to set up camp on but couldn't? With a GA hammock you can sleep on any slope because you are not on the ground!! Not only is this better for back country camping but it supports the "No Trace Camping" guidelines.

5- Set up and take down is more than easy. It literally takes less than one minute to set up or take down the hammock.

6- Have you ever bought a tent that wouldn't fit back in the bag after? This doesn't happen with our handmade hammocks. The stuff sack is carefully crafted to minimize volume but allow for maximum capacity of storage of the hammock without the hassle of putting it away when you take it down.

and so on and so on..... if this doesn't convince you to switch from traditional tent camping to hammocking, I don't know what will!!! check us out at http://www.greenarmadillogear.com/
