I've never had a hammock before and snagged the one I did for a camping trip. I'm useless when it comes to outdoorsing so I was looking for something super easy to assemble and hang, and this one checked all of the boxes. I'm so fortunate for my husband and my kids. They take care of all this for me. It's so easy to use, take down, and pack away. The hammock packs away right into itself. I ended up buying one additional as a gift, and another for myself to keep in my car. You never know when you are going to come across some good hammock trees. Amazing product Stealth. Thank You so much.
