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/
