Cheap Kit Review: $15 Hammock from Amazon. Perfect backpack camping chair and lounger!

The warm weather is getting nearer! It got up in the 50s today in Buffalo. I bought this hammock last month, and today was the last day I could return it. I figured I'd make use of the sunshine and set this hammock up at the park and make sure everything was OK before I decided to keep it. .

I've been shopping for motorcycle parts and kit for this summers riding season. I impulse bought this $15.00 hammock from Amazon when it popped up as a special offer.

For $15 I couldn't resist, I had to try it. Hammocks are the perfect solution for lounging and relaxing when camping. I had a really cool tie-dye one since the mid 90s. It was all cotton and a freind of mine bought it in Bali. The thing lasted me forever but the material finally wore thin from years of wear and me gaining weight over the years certainly hasn't helped. 🤣 I got a lot of use out of it over that time and you could feel the fabric getting thin. I was really bummed when it ripped. The landing wasn't much fun either!

This new hammock isn't as stylish as my old one but the quality seems like it's there. The fabrick is very thin nylon parachute material. Seems legit. I sat on it slowly and it seemed to take my weight no problem. I didn't hear any ripping and the fabric seemed stronger as I sat down. It's supposed to hold up to 500 pounds. So far so good. We'll have to see how it fares over this riding season.
