I'm a Beautiful Butterfly


I occasionally just get in those caterpillar moods, where I want to curl up, take a long nap and awaken feeling great about myself...and NOT covered in mosquito bites.  I feel like this hammock was made for me.  I AM a beautiful butterfly, after all.  I could sleep in this hammock for DAYS (or 1-2 weeks depending on how long it takes me to go from the Pupa to Butterfly stage).  The biggest issue I have while sleeping in hammocks?  MOSQUITOES!!!  They're so overly annoying and flock to me, like I'm just one big meal. 

This hammock is easy to set up.  It has straps and carabiners that connect to both ends, so you can easily attach them around some trees.  I used my hammock stand, because my yard only has one tree.  There are elastic cords that you can run through the mosquito netting and hook up the carabiners, to keep the net from falling on top of you.  There's room to move around, even though all I do is sleep.  There are two mesh pockets in the netting and the original bag that the hammock came in remains attached to the outside of the hammock, for additional storage space.  The netting only zips up along one side, but there is a zipper on both ends, for ease of opening.  There is nothing that I would change about this cocoon... er.... Hammock.  I can get a decent amount of rest and wake up feeling great and not covered in itchy mosquito bites.

I have received this hammock at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.
