I love this hammock! It is easy to set up, and it can be put up just about anywhere where there's trees. Not only that but you can get creative with it too and set it up on rocks, cars, in the kitchen...just about anywhere! ENOs are pretty comfy too, and the material is very breathable. The only problem i ever have with it is the banana shape it puts your body in when you sleep in it, but you just have to work around and find your comfort spot. I definitely recommend it as a backpacking tool or just to relax in the yard.

As for the banana shape... Lay on the diagonal. That is to say, dont have your head and feet pointing towards the suspension lines. Instead lay diagonally so your head is off to the left or right of the suspension and your feet the other way. Play with the amount of sag in the hammock and you'll find a sweet spot where you can lay with almost a pretty good flat lay.

You can throw a sleep pad in the hammock and you end up laying almost flat also helps keep your bag from getting cold if you sleeping in colder weather :)

Is it possible to lay properly in this hammock to avoid being in the banana shape? Check out this link to see what i'm talking about. http://www.jasminhammocks.co.uk/hammocks
