Hammock

Hammock
Hammocks are a Luxury in some places and a necessity in others.
Worldwide there are still a very large number of people that sleep every night in a hammock. These people all treat these hammocks as a daily part of their lives.
Now in other parts of the world the hammock is traditionally seen as a leisure item.
You will find hammocks strung up at the top resorts around the world. They will be at backpackers and beach resorts.
The well publicized picture of a beautiful woman lying comfortably in a hammock in a bikini sipping a colorful drink with an umbrella in it is well known. We all aspire to being part of that idyllic picture.
Now while I do not say that that specific setting does not exist, you have to carefully decide your style and think of the different uses that you want to apply to your own hammock use for yourself.
I very strongly suggest that you work backwards in the planning of your hammock purchase.
First you need to think very carefully as to what exactly you want from your hammock. For example in my case I would have only three different hammock applications in my life.
One where I can sit in the shade during the day – and then light a fire in the evening. This would definitely be a hammock chair, and a padded one at that. This would be my social chair and I would have at least 4 other similar chairs in a cozy design. This setup would be for living loving and laughing. Thank you.
Two would be a traditional lying down hammock hidden far from everybody deep into a shady place so that I can enjoy a siesta whenever I want to.
Three would be another hammock chair, but this one would be my personal one and I would be very selfish with it. It would be for deep thought dozing and reading.
Meditative stuff
Brilliant
Putting my years of happy hammock use into written advice is easy. I have personally used hammocks and hammock chairs for hundreds of different things and can happily tell you that most of them worked brilliantly.
One specific use that I used to use my hammock for was to sit in a hammock chair when I went fishing. I need to tell you now that the hammock chair worked very well, but my fishing suffered very badly.
Well think about this carefully – you are sitting very comfortably totally relaxed for quite awhile and then suddenly you get a strike on one of you fishing lines. Are you going to bolt up out of your chair?
I can tell you categorically that it didn’t take me long before I had cast out my fishing lines onto the water without any bait at all. It was important that I actually had some lines out into the water so that any visitors were convinced that I was actually fishing. But I was really sitting and dozing in a hammock chair.
I suspect that you didn’t visit my hammock website here to have to listen to all my ramblings about all the cool hammocky stuff I have done in the past.
What I can tell you is that I have been a hammock manufacturer for more than 12 years, perhaps even 14 or 15 years – that does not matter, what does matter is that I have a wealth of facts and information that I will share with you.
I am going to create a different page for each topic so you would need to scroll down the different options available in the pages section down the side of the website.
Please do not hesitate to email me if you have a query about anything related to hammocks.
I am probably going to be adding pages of totally irrelevant hammock stories over time and I am not sorry about that.
Some of the happiest times of my life have been spent in a hammock.
You see I am of a very sure belief in the given that your life is always “RIGHT NOW” and if you are not trying to enjoy every conscious waking moment of your life then that is so sad.
So sad
Now for me, I am happiest just sitting and chatting with people that I love and love to spend time with. Now does it not then make 100% sense to do that sitting in the very best chair that was ever invented?
Equally I absolutely love to simply sit and enjoy all aspects of nature. Mother Nature is the most beautiful part of my life and I am constantly enjoying all her different moods and most often from a comfortable hammock.
Finally I have an incurable addiction to both food and reading. Do I really need to tell you that it is obvious that both of those addictions are perfectly matched with hammocks?
Just to end off this introduction page I will be adding and subtracting to this website as time goes on. The main change will be that I am going to stop manufacturing the products that I have developed myself over the years.
No big reason other than it has had its day.
I have a very inquiring mind and I am always seeking answers to all sorts of unimportant things and with this problem that I have comes a constant need to design things.
I designed so many new hammocks that I have totally exhausted my creative juices in that department.
If you had to ask me “what was the best one that I designed” I would say the baby crib, but more importantly the “drinking” chair.
I loved that chair. No, I really mean that I loved that chair.
I digress.
So sooner or later you will arrive here at this website and not be able to buy any of my own products.
I will very likely still be able to offer South Africans local hammocks and international visitors will be sent on to buy from the very extensive ranges from Amazon.
From my side I am possibly going to convert my products to a how-to-format as some of them are extremely unique. Also the standards that my wife and I set on the quality were of an extremely high level and I would be very pleased to see someone take the templates and styles further.
Great – enough for today.

Hi Rob,
I love the way you explain your love of hammocks. Although I have never been in one, I can imagine the comfort and pleasure just from your words. Lovely! Now I must see if I can find a spot for one out in the garden somewhere.
Keep up the good works
Cheers,
Tomas
