RothcoJungle Hammock with Mosquito Net and Rain Fly Roof – Portable and Lightweight – Great for Camping, Backpacking, and More

Tent, hammock, mosquito net all rolled into one. It's well made and strong. Might be a little heavy for backpacking, but then you're also not carrying a fly and net.I added a dowel to either end of mine to turn it into a bridge hammock. Good stuff. Be sure to get the Atlas (easily found) or Python (good luck - they are backordered everywhere) hammock straps for ease of set up. A couple of carabiners make them even easier to set up and attach to.

Tired of getting wet from ground water during heavy rain seasons while hiking? So long as you have 2 trees far enough apart and the ability to tie good knots, this solves your problem! I prefer to remove the cording on the head side and run a pole through the loops. I then tie the pole to 2 trees to stabilize my hammock and give me a better sleep. Make sure to hang a tarp above the tent as it's not the best for keeping dry with such a small fly. I love not carrying a pad or heavier ground tent.

This is a sub-optimal throwback hammock that I cannot recommend based on my assessment of the design and use. Pro: It is truly an "all in one" system (less suspension) that has a tarp integrated with bug netting, integrated with a hammock. Cons: 1) As you can see from the photos, it is not the modern "gathered end" style camping hammock, cut to permit diagonal sleeping- it is more of a "bridge" style hammock, that is long and narrow (preventing the diagonal posture). 2) The long narrow form, and the spread ends make it unstable. I flipped shortly after getting in, and that has NEVER happened before in any hammock. 3) The tarp has SIX distinct tie points that must be separately anchored for the tarp to be properly suspended and spread. 4) The ends, which the bridge rope making successive passes through a large ring, has a random knot at each end that is unsuitable for forming and holding the proper shape for the bed. I replaced all four with a "blakes hitch" and was able to reshape the bed somewhat to make it more stable (shortly after I was dumped out, on a cold dark evening).I eventually spent the night in the Jungle Hammock, with a Z-fold pad and sleeping bag on a 30 degree night. Although I was somewhat constrained in my sleeping position (not wanting to drift out of the stable envelope), I slept well- but what a PAIN it was to set this up. Although it does "look cool" once you have it all rigged, get one of the nicer (and less expensive) gathered end types, which are inherently simpler to set up and more comfortable. If you need a tarp, go for something simple- it doesn't take much!

Upon recieving this item.. i opted to use it on a one nighter.. I inspected all of it thoroughly and it seemed ok.. loaded it into bag along with rope etc... After reaching place to camp,, hiking in for a couple hours.. set up camp etc etc.. I set up hammock in local.. it looked good.. I settled in for night.. after about 5 min,, it had stretched to point of leaving 1/2 of me on ground. I re-tightened my ropes to point of no slack and set back inside.. One side of supplied rope came loose about 10 min after going to sleep.. dumping me on ground.. re-tied all and attempted to settle back down.. It became so one sided after a few min.. i finally had to abandon it resulting in sleeping on ground... would not have been bad if not for approx 29 degrees and slight rain. If not for MSS I WOULD HAVE FROZEN, Will not recommend this product and unless seller returns all funds incl shipping... will do all i can to degrade them as well.

This hammock is HEAVY. Not that there's anything wrong with that - but don't take it on a backpacking trip. It's just too heavy. It's pretty easy to set up, and the bug-guard works great. It will only protect you against extremely light and short duration rainfall though - you will need to put up a real rain fly if it's gonna be raining.The bug-guard is also tricky to set up. It will require plenty of nearby trees to attach to - there are 3 attachment points, all of which must be used to set it up right, on EACH end of the hammock. The center one can go to the tree you hang the hammock from, but the other two must go to trees which are out to the side a bit. That's 6 trees you would need, unless you found two perfect trees with just the right branches sticking out from them in the right direction at the right height...not likely. I also took a couple of thin (1.5" diameter) branches and cut them down to the width of the hammock and notched both ends, then stuck them through the loops at either end of the hammock where the ropes attach to. This helps to maintain the width and keeps it from becoming a gathered-end style hammock...which it is not really designed to be.So for like 35 or 40 bucks it's not bad as a backyard camper, or maybe a car-camper if you know for a fact that your campsite has tons of trees. But do yourself a favor and don't rely on it for a backpacking trip where making the most out of what you happen to find is necessary, and where carry weight is a factor.

It is a very nice jungle hammock that I use to sleep outside in the summer. It is easy to set up, especially if you use a commercial hammock stand. The only additional effort needed is to support the rain tent with additional lines. While I don't go camping or hiking, I could see this as very popular with hikers, since it is light, waterproof, easy to set up and it has bug screens.

This is very well made and really cool.

This was a great buy. The product was exactly as described and actually got to me a day earlier then initially expected. Its a little heavy but for the occasional hiker or camper its well worth the price.
