Double Hammock by Bear Butt

I was staring this hammock while laying in it in frustration because the edge seams are starting to come apart when I realised, I have had this hammock for 9 YEARS. I was going to change brands until I realised how long I've owned it!When I first bought this hammock, I wasn't sure if I would even like hammocking, so I didn't want to spend a bundle. I figured I would upgrade if I liked the idea, but this one worked great- I had no reason to upgrade.I use this hammock heavily- I nap, read, and sleep in it at night multiple weekends a month. I also usually just ball it up and stuff it in my car at the end of the weekend, no special care from me.Last year I bought a quick-stand to be more tree-friendly and it's so easy to set up literally anywhere, so I get even more use of this hammock! I also have a $10 no-see-um net that slides over it and has a zipper on one side for bad mosquito days, (and to keep the spiders off me overnight -just give a solid couple shakes before you unzip or they will fall in with you).I highly recommend this hammock!!

This hammock lets the air flow through to your skin while providing wonderful support. Its much cheaper than a box and mattress and better for the heat in Summer. I use mine on a stand in the bedroom. It can sleep two people so it’s oversized for one person but perfect for spreading out in! No struggling with shrunken fitted sheets ever again! I’m a Senior Citizen and I think I stay flexible with the routine exercise of getting in and out of it! 🙂

Bear Butt Double Parachute Camping Hammock: UPDATE:This week marks one full year of sleeping in my Bear Butt Hammock every night, in lieu of a bed. (Technically next week, but I didn't want to forget) I just re-read what I wrote last year and there is nothing I want to change or add except possibly this little anecdote. Next month I will be spending a couple of weeks in NYC. I just bought another hammock stand to take with me to use in place of the hotel beds. By having a second stand, I don't have to dismantle this one, plus it will be shipped up in advance. I Love my Bear Butt so much, I don't want to do without it. Plus, wouldn't you take your bed with you if you could? :-D Thanks Bear Butt!!By the way, I did see some questions about getting a stand on a couple of Bear Butt pages and this is the one I use, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015ZK6VA2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . (Zupapa Hammock Stand Fit for 12-15ft. Hammock, 2 Person Heavy Duty 550 LBS Capacity with 2 Steel Chains 1 Carry Bag) I use Bear Butt Straps instead of the chains that come with the stand because they don't make noise and they are just fantastic straps! Soft and Strong! Go Bear Butt Go!!Below is the original review, intact from one year ago:I cannot say enough about how much I love my Bear Butt hammock(s). It is exhausting to see all of the options you have on Amazon and of course everyone claims to be the best. I bought Bear Butt because of their size and load rating. I'm a pretty big guy, (6'4", over 200) so if it doesn't say specifically that it is big, I won't bother. Often enough even when they do say big, it doesn't mean big to me. But Bear Butt delivers!The hammock is 10' long and very spacious. I bought a standalone frame and I sleep in it every night in my apartment. It is super comfortable and the material is luxurious. I now have three Bear Butt hammocks! I keep one in the Jeep - you just never know. I use one every night in my apartment and I bought a backup for that one. The inside one is the All American which is beautiful - Stars and Stripes. I just had the feeling that would be limited edition, and if anything ever happened to it,... well, let's not think about that. The outside one is blue and grey.Recently I bought a second kind of hammock stand so I could hang when I travel for work. I intended to use it in hotel rooms etc. It was made by another manufacturer with a solid reputation (ENO), but it was too small for the Bear Butt. So I bought one of theirs. They were both ENO, who, by the reviews seems like they might be kings of the hill. I could not have been less impressed. The stand was of good quality, but too small. The hammock was horrible. It was small (9'-3" according to their literature), and though it claimed to be a double nest, there was no way I was getting someone else in it. It was a coarser fabric than the Bear Butt and it generated static electricity like you wouldn't believe!! Not the case with my Bear Butt.I now have three Bear Butt hammies, two sets of Kodiak Straps which are incredible, a BB Bug net, two rain flies and one plastic, solar powered dancing Bear Butt bear. I wish they would make an under quilt to fit their hammies, but we'll see. I would Highly Recommend Bear Butt products and I don't impress that easily. Go Bear Butt!By the way, don't let the low price fool you. Once in a great while you actually get great quality at a low price. This is one of those times. Inexpensive. NOT Cheap.Hang Safe

Editing after using for 10 days of camping.....I love this hammock more! The easy set up, long straps you can buy separate are just fantastic. I intentionally skipped by campsites that didn't have trees because I couldn't set up my Bear Butt hammock. Love this and it was enjoyed by the entire family, 2 and 4 legged.I love this hammock! I have wanted a hammock for years and finally used an upcoming camping trip as a reason to buy one. When browsing through the multiple choices Bear Butt caught my attention but so did the reviews on quality and customer service. Those reviews were spot on! This is one nice hammock at a fraction of the price of comparable ones. I'm talking a good sized fraction too like 1/2 or 1/3 not the ridiculous fractions like 1/457. When the hammock arrived I stared at it for a bit because I never can get anything back into the original carrying case correctly. It always looks like the item vomited part of itself out of the bag. I didn't have anything to worry about, after testing the hammock out it easily fit back into the attached carrying bag with room to spare. The bag being attached is beyond fantastic because I know if it wasn't I'm sure it would be lost at some point. I ordered the hammock straps from the same company and they are a great pairing. I was set up and relaxing within minutes, and I've never set up a hammock before. I'm a bigger girl so I often worry about true weight limits or if I'll fit on some items and that was a zero worry once I climbed into the hammock. The hammock held me well, and maybe a little too well because I was so comfortable I didn't want to get out. I did see some reviews where the person did not feel this was a true double hammock and that was not my experience. Like I said I'm a larger woman and I fit in this comfortably with enough room to spare I was able to share the space with a 10 year old and my blue heeler with plenty of room still on the sides. I am excited to take this hammock with us on a camping trip next month to Utah and Colorado and will update my review once it really gets some use.I know the claim is this can withstand a bear but I'd like to offer one better. This hammock can withstand a cattle dog and that really says something. In my pictures you can see Teague the cow dog not only loves this hammock but she give it two paws up. You can also see the space left over with an average size pre teen inside of it, which there is a lot of space so I would consider this to be a double hammock.

Really great. Love it
