I haven't really tried hammocks much in the past, but was interested in giving it a go. I figured that it will be used a fair bit anyway between me and my 12 year old son, so I did t mind paying the price for it.

Unfortunately, being in eastern Ontario (Kawarthas), we haven't really had the weather to try it outside yet (and now after the ice storm, finding two safe trees reasonably close together is a bit of a challenge). I borrowed a friend's hammock frame to test it out in my living room... Here's what I found (though it would probably be better outside, since the frame was just a tiny bit small)

The setup was easy. No issues there at all.

Once inside it, I found it nice and spacious. Very comfortable. While I am not claustrophobic, I am not overly comfortable in confined spaces, and I had no issues here.

The sleeping mat fits fine in the pocket under the hammock. However, it's rather noisy when you move around, even a bit. I may see if a sheet would help that between the mat and the fabric, although this may add a bit of weight...

I also noticed that the mat would stick out a bit at one end (after my son was in there and he moves around quite a bit.). This concerns me a bit as I would hate for that to happen if it's raining and a bit windy, blowing water in there... Hawk Nest, I wonder if maybe putting a couple of snaps on the openings of the pocket would eliminate this possibility?

Our next Scout camp is scheduled in May, so I am looking forward to being able to really test this hammock out.

It's a very solid build and great design. Haven't been able to use it yet, another couple months for suitable camping weather, but very excited to give it a go!

The Hawk Nest Hammock has become an essential part of my search and rescue gear. It’s always in my go bag, ready for quick and easy setup after long hours in the field. Packing it up is just as simple, and it’s surprisingly comfortable—even after exhausting missions in all weather conditions. I’m currently waiting on my mattress to make it even better, but so far, it’s been a game-changer for getting the proper rest I need. Highly recommended for anyone needing reliable, packable comfort in the outdoors.

Will send comments on the mattress once it arrives. I only ordered it yesterday. More pics to come

J'ai dormi 3 nuits dans le hamac, la troisième était durant une tempête de neige a -10°c avec des grand vents et une arche a plié et déchiré la toile coupe vent
J'ai contacté le vendeur pour acheter un nouveau kit d'arches avec une toile et il me les a envoyé gratuitement
Can't complain love IT

Stayed warm and comfortable all night in -6C snowy conditions. The design completely cuts the wind while leaving ample ventilation. Also, only needing two attachment points for the hammock and fly together is such a game-changer. No more searching for the elusive "perfect" set of trees to tie up 6+ lines. Setup & takedown is a breeze (5 min), even in the snow, as no part ever needs to touch the ground if you do it right (watch the very helpful tutorial video on YouTube for the proper technique).

I seen the adds on fb and after looking at some reviews I decided to get one. Tried it out in the middle of the winter. It was fast and easy to setup and tear down. I wanted something that would be off the ground and lightweight for winter use.

This past weekend I was able to use my new hawk nest hammock and couldn’t be happier. I’ve been learning and practicing survival skills and techniques for about two years now and the hawk nest has made winter overnight trips way more comfortable. At 55 almost 56 years old let me tell you that sleeping on the ground even with a pad or debris bed just doesn’t make for a good night’s rest. The hawk nest performs just as it says it will. From 15 degrees one night to ice and snow storm the next. I’m sure the more I use it the more comfortable I will be. Great hammock and I look forward to my next adventure with it.

Can't wait for summer to try it!

I haven’t used it yet. Still winter in Canada.

Initially decided to try a Hawk Nest hammock based on research and reviews as well as the return policy.
Received the first hammock and because it is winter have not spent a night in it yet; we do not winter camp.
After watching the instructional video we did venture out to give it a try. The video was spot on and we had it set up in 7 minutes and taken down/ packed away in less than 5. The lightweight design will be ideal for backpacking.
We were so impressed by the product quality, design and comfort we ordered a second one. Our communication with Lucas had been excellent as i messed up my second order and his attention and assist was far more than I expected, thank you again.
After we have had a chance to officially use our hammocks I will update it provide another review. We cannot wait to give them a try during our planned hiking and back country canoe adventures.
