| NY City Urban Hammock Install |

 | | The new Urban Install in action. |
|
We just received a great photo from another happy Treehugger Hammocks user. Here's what Cat had to say about her urban Hammock install.
"Hi Treehuggers - First of all, thanks for all my past emails in helping figure out if I could actually hang a hammock inside my New York City apartment.
Well, as you can see by the attached photo, it worked. I love my hammock! I sleep in it about 3-4 times a week.
I love how it can easily fold up. I love the carabiners. I love how I can also use it for camping. It's just a great design.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am so happy with my Treehugger hammock!
Cat"

Hi Trina!
Just feel like I can't go anywhere with out my hammock, and the need to share with you my hammocking adventures! This time we went to Guinea West Africa! And boy I had no idea what a hit it would be! I thought it would be nice to sit in after a long day of drumming and dancing, but i almost never got in it! It was already full! Around the clock one or more people were swinging, sleeping and laughing in my treehugger! It was so great. It was even wonderful to see "mama" (my dance teachers mother who worked so hard for us cooking and cleaning for 3 weeks) get in cautiously, but then have a huge smile on her face! It brought so much joy to everyone there! And when we traveled it always came with us, and the first thing i did in every new place was find a nice shady spot for it!
Now I have 4 months in europe! I wonder what cool places i will find to hang out!
Love from africa!!!

| Treehuggers Trek to Patagonia |

Hi Trina! hope you are getting ready for hammock season!
I just wanted to let you know i took my hammock with me to Patagonia! WE had a blast hiking 11 days in Chile and a few days in Argentina, it was the best feeling in the world to find an amazing spot at the end of the night and life my tired feet and body off the ground! I got some really amazing views of glacier and Lago Dickson in Torres Del Paine national park.
I also took it to a cabin and found ways to hang them there too! I continue to love and enjoy my hammock just as much as when i first got it!
Even being a very light weight hiker, it was worth every ounce!
Here are a couple more photos for you to see, of my amazing trip!
Have a great summer! Maybe i will see you around the festival track, i have been passing out the stickers you sent me, and will be sure to spread the work when we are hanging 7 hammocks high this year!
Peace and Light
Stephie

"Hi, I have a couple more photos for you "use at own risk." We actually think we might have to make a sign and some rules for getting up to the top. We went 7 high this summer at the northwest string summitt! With-in my group of friends we now own 13 Treehugger hammocks! They have become a huge part of our camp. We also have a blast spinning around in circles inside the hammocks. It looked pretty cool when all 7 were full and all of us were doing flips! People really get a kick out of us at festivals! And we are spreading the word about you guys for sure!!!
"Thanks again..
Peace and light

| One of our first rain fly customers... |

July 1, 2006
Hi Trina,
I've used your rain fly on several outings already and it's become one of my favorite pieces of equipment. The size of the rain fly easily covers the entire one person hammock and protects a large enough area from the elements that I can place my touring bike on the ground under the hammock and not worry about it being exposed to the elements. It's size and weight are almost insignificant; in fact I can carry it in one cargo pocket, and the hammock in another when I'm hiking.
The price is by far the best I've seen. Your website lists the rain fly at $48.50. Similar fast and light products, like the Mountain Safety Research Trekker Wing ($200.00) and caribiners Expedition A-sym Hammock ($119.00) are a lost more, without having much to justify their costs.
The quality appears top notch as well. The tie down cords are sturdy and haven't frayed or come unspun during my use. The rain fly itself is durable despite its light weight so that I never have to worry about protection from the rain and wind.
One one occasion I had to stop hiking and pitch camp right where I was or I would have gotten soaked from a sudden downpour. It only took me about one minute to have the rain fly tied off to some trees and staked to the ground, which then let me set up my hammock underneath it while staying completely dry. If I had been hiking with a tent it would have been about thirty minutes before I reached a place open enough to pitch it without being right in the middle of the
trail.
My only suggestion for the rain fly is to make the tie off cords longer. When used with the hammock and tree straps there's no problem because I can use the loops on the straps, or tie it off to the caribiners.
To set it up without the other two components someone would need to be in an area with a lot of narrow trees or find branches low enough to the ground to still allow the other two cords to reach the ground to be staked in. I haven't encountered this as a problem myself; and it's really the only improvement I could think of making on your excellent rain fly. I know it's meant to compliment your hammocks (which are perfect), but if it could stand alone it would be a very competitively priced warm weather shelter for those in the ultralight backpacking community. Keep up the great work.
Thanks again,
Michael

Hey Peter,
The hammocks have continued to be great on the trip. We have been talking more and more about throwing away the tent. We thought that we might not have many places to use the hammocks in Kansas (this is our second day riding in it) but it turns out that most of the towns on the route let bikers camp at city parks, which all have gazebos that are perfect to hang the hammocks on and they also provide rain cover, though it hasn't rained in a while. It's been up in the 100's the last couple of days, but it's supposed to cool off tomorrow.
-Ben

Welcome to the Treehugger Hammocks Blog. Hopefully, I'll get some cool pictures and stories up to let you know where we've been, where we will be, and what we liked best. I will also post photos and stories from your trips and adventures. Please send them to: trina@treehuggerhammocks.com, and I'll get them up as soon as I can.
To give you a little background info, Treehugger Hammocks has been in business since 2002.
When we first bought a Treehugger Hammock in July of 2004, we had no idea we'd be buying the company a year later, but the hammocks were just so great we couldn't resist. David and Louise, the original creators, did an amazing job researching the industry and refining the Treehugger Hammock to the point that we believe it's the best hammock in its class. We remain friends, and they're still involved, putting up with all our questions. Since then, we have been working from our home in Asheville, NC and traveling part-time going to festivals and expos around the country. Fun!
Hope you enjoy!
Trina and Peter
