The Camping Hammock is made of the finest materials, including 420-denier nylon pack cloth bed, a urethane-coated rip-stop nylon rain fly and no-see-um netting. The hammock is safe, comfortable, easy to set up, and it really protects the occupants from insects and the elements. It is very lightweight and an excellent alternative to a tent, ground tarps, and thermarests. This is a hammock for people who are on the move, for people who need to set up fast and go. It can be used either as a hammock or on the ground as a bivy tent. With a weight of 4.25 lbs, the Blue Ridge Camping Hammock is the solution to getting off unleveled ground, away from torrential rain water channels, and up into a totally dry, safe, and comfortable nest for a great night sleep
