I'm sure we've all seen those funny videos on YouTube of people attempting to get into or out of hammocks often with varying degrees of success.

It really is not a difficult process though once you know what you are doing.

First ensure you have your hammock setup and hung at the correct height as per your hammock instructions. The lowest part of your hammock should be between your hips and knees. This provides a good height to ease yourself down and into your hammock. As you do so hold each side of the hammock and spread it out, so you are sitting right in the center. The extra ends of material then can be pushed out with your feet and your arms, so you have full support from your feet to your head.

Have a look at the video below demonstrating the best way to do this. The hammock shown in the video is a Mexican King size nylon hammock.

Have a safe end of winter and a fun and relaxing start to the warmer season from the Hammock Shop USA team.
