Lawson Blue Ridge Hammock
Take your Lawson Hammock Anywhere
The patented design allows for use suspended, as a hammock, or on the ground, as a tent, greatly increasing camping terrain options that are often limited by shelter type. The spreader bar and arch pole system keeps the bed of the hammock flat and taut, eliminating much of the uncomfortable 'cocoon' and 'banana' effect.
Its built-in no-see-um bug net and attachable rainfly means you don’t need to worry about pesky insects or unpredictable weather conditions.
Versatile Sleep System Combines the Best of Both Worlds - Tents and Hammocks
The Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock is particularly versatile because it can act as a tent or a hammock due to these two features.
The first is two arching support poles for the mosquito netting and rain fly. The arched poles are attached at both ends and lift the top of the hammock up like an elongated dome tent, which gives you enough room to sit up and rummage around easily.
Second, a unique spread bar system, which is attached to the ropes at the ends of the hammock and spreads the support ropes over a flatter area. This keeps the floor more stable in the air as well as reduces the Hammock sag.
When pitched on the ground, it all comes together to create a small bivy tent.
Rated One of the Best Hammocks by Leading Publications
The Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock has proven itself as the go-to hammock by countless outdoor experts. From National Geographic to Men's Journal, the Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock has shown it's one of the best on the market for your needs.
Rainfly, Bug Net & Stuff Sack
Waterproof ripstop full-coverage rainfly attaches directly to the hammock with no need for additional trees or staking like traditional hammock tarps.

I've camped on several continents with this tent.It most certainly isn't for everyone, as it requires a bit of finesse when sleeping in it.However, if you want to pull up and pitch a tent in 5 minutes (realistically), and break it down again in the same timeframe, I don't know of a faster tent to pitch.Carabiners are attached to both ends for quick attachment to tree savers, which are straps with loops that go around trees as slip knots.Pitching is as fast as:1. Finding two trees roughly 15'-20' apart.2. Throwing the straps around tree one and then tree two3. Unrolling the tent and clipping it to tree one4. Hold it off the ground (yes! no dirt!) and clip it to the strap on tree 25. Adjust (if necessary) to level it out and stretch it tighter (if you like it tight)6. Push 2 4ft tent poles into place (takes less than a minute).Done.It reads about as long as it takes.The hardest part is breakdown, when you have to roll the tent back up.If the ground is wet, I do this while standing (granted, I'm a little taller than most, so it may not work for everyone) and straight back into the bag.Also, if you want, you don't have to put the poles in and can use it like an ordinary hammock.The trick to sleeping, is not to lie directly inline with the hammock but to turn diagonal, so that the ends twist.This makes it much flatter and more comfortable for sleeping.I get asked if it flips. The tighter you pull the tent, the more unstable it becomes. So it's a balancing act.Getting into/out of the tent is not for everyone either. This takes some balance.You lean far back onto the tent and then let your weight get carried. Then pivot and slip into the tent.To get out again, assume a similar position from inside the tent, then extend your feet out and rotate down onto them.I clip my shoes/boots to a carabiner on the loop right outside the tent door so that bugs and other stuff doesn't get into them, plus, they are easy to put on while still in the tent.I've slept on cliff faces, with amazing views in Europe, between palm trees directly on the beach, between mangroves over the water and right off the road in more places than I can count, as I could pull off and quickly pitch the tent.If there are no trees, the tent still works on the ground, without an issue.They say it is a 2-man tent, but I haven't tried that and am skeptical it would work...Finally, hammocks are cold at night which is great in hot environments, as it works like built-in air conditioning.The bottom of the tent is always cooled off by passing air.In colder weather, a sleeping pad and/or quilt is an absolute must. You'll get cold fast if you don't take a pad out with you.For me, it is the one-size-fits-all tent that I take everywhere.it isn't light, it isn't small, but it works nearly everywhere for one person.

The Lawson hammock is an awesome piece of kit. the quality is there in every aspect. I can now sleep actually proper comfortable sleep for a weekend in this brilliant hammock,if I were to camp for a week or 2 U can set it up on the ground for a night or 3 if your back is sore. A lot of people say it's too heavy 2.3 kg (straps,poles,rainfly), but the comfort u get is worth that wieght.

Ok, der Preis mag erst mal abschrecken, aber das Produkt hält was es verspricht: kompaktes Packmaß, durchdacht (die Stangen sind z.B. in der Mitte teilbar, werden zusammengesteckt), sehr schnell zu montieren und die Qualität stimmt. Ich habe bei ca. 3 Grad eine Nacht in der Hängematte verbracht und eine weitere Nacht bei 0 Grad auf dem Boden als Biwak-Zelt. In beiden Fällen hatte ich eine leichte leichte Alu-Isomatte mit reingelegt.Weil man in der Hängematte natürlich doch ganz leicht durchhängt (aber wirklich nur leicht, nicht vergleichbar mit klassischen Hängematten), wirkte der Innenraum, insbesondere die Höhe, erstaunlich groß. Genügend Platz auch für längere oder breitere Menschen. Wem es zu sehr schaukelt, der kann mit Zusatzseilen (nicht enthalten) rechts und links für mehr Stablität sorgen, Ösen vorhanden. Die Durchlüftung war sehr gut, es gab kein Kondenswasser.Die Nacht auf dem Boden als Biwak war etwas weniger komfortabel. Weil man nicht durchhängt, wirkt der Innenraum deutlich niedriger, wird schlechter belüftet, Kondenswasser war so nicht zu vermeiden. Zur Not und bei wärmeren Temperaturen aber voll in Ordnung.Bitte beachten, dass die Seile zur Montage am Baum nicht enthalten sind, muss man extra kaufen. Davon abgesehen klare Kaufempfehlung.

This is a quality piece of outdoor gear. Overall very pleased after using for several camping/outdoor trips.A couple small gripes about the product...It takes some tweaking to find the sweet spot for set up; ie the correct height and sag, dependent on the tree distance. You cant just use a one size fits all approach to set up. And, it can be a bit tippy depending on how its set; if its too tight, it becomes more tippy. Too much sag and its uncomfortable. If using a nylon/slippery surface sleeping bag you will find yourself sliding down (I am going to try some grip/spray adhesive on the bottom of the hammock to help prevent this. Also, a sleeping pad helps the slippage). I have tried guy lines but found them not to be overly helpful because once you sit in the hammock the guy lines become loose and not effective essentially unless you are rolling completely over. Sleeping on a diagonal within the hammock seems to be most comfortable and stable for me.Also, the hammock can be hot during summer camping, not a lot of airflow due to the tight bug netting (good/bad). The zipper looks to be a potential fail point in the future, not overly heavy duty, but I have not had any problems yet. Since the zipper/door needs to be completely opened before climbing in/out, the far end can be a bit tricky to reach. One last mention, that when using the hammock as a stand alone tent on the ground, I found it to be not roomy at all. I am just a tad under 6' and around 200lbs, and I had very limited space in almost every direction. All that being said, it is much preferred and more comfortable than the standard ENO hammocks that I have used. The spreader bars make the Lawson very comfortable (no cocooning) and it is an easy unit to set up. The rain fly is easy to attach and is effective. I like that its all one relatively affordable package; the easy to adjust straps, bug net, and rain fly. Its not the lightest package, but is my go to hammock for short or long adventures that I presume will last for a long time.

I'm 47. 220lbs. This is my first hammock.Preparing for one week trip to Boundary Waters; I've slept in this hammock a few times overnight to work out any issues.1. I really need those side tie-downs. The stability is awesome with those. And, you don't need all four. Just two works fine. I'm more than happy to deal with those with the incredible comfort this product supplies. I've slept on my back, side and belly with no issues at all.2. The space is incredible! The little rings that hang down inside can be easily tied together with some cord for a long "ridge line" to secure things to.3. I bought a 10X10 tarp because I like the open air. I am also worried about having to set up or tear down in the rain. I still bring the Lawson Tarp in case the wind is very very bad or the rain decides to come sideways. Love the Larson Tarp, I just don't want to be so bottled up.4. This is my under quilt: OutdoorsmanLab Lightweight Camping Sleeping Bag. I used wife's sewing machine and stitched on some webbing and shock cord. A few clips. And there you go. Its a perfect summer under quilt. I don't need my ThermoRest now.5. Had a simple issue upon purchase and the owner of Lawson fixed it immediately without any hesitation. GREAT CUSTOMER SVC!I LOVE THIS HAMMOCK. Pics are from my backyard.UPDATE: after my trip to the Boundary Waters I learned a lot.1. IF you like a lay flat like me, I keep the hammock tightly pulled between the trees. Needs guy lines.2. IF you like a more traditional curved lay. It is more stable and does not need guy lines.3. This is not an ultra light set up. The weight really added up over the miles. OK for me, not for everybody.

I had a few practice sleeps in the garden first.... glad I did! A bridge hammock is very different than sleeping in a regular gathered end hammock. I fell out the first time! But.. you quickly get the hang of it (no pun intended!) The issue being the centre of gravity. Adding a guy line to the tabs provided really helped though.Last weekend I took it out to the jungle and we actually had a tropical thunderstorm break out on us just as we were setting up! I just about got the rain fly fitted in time and believe me - this hammock performed great! I was dry as a bone even though I'd fitted it rather hastily. A little spray came in with the wind for the first few minutes, due to my loose fitting, but after a quick adjustment I was sorted.I love how roomy the thing feels. Again, very different to my other other hammocks. Of course, you lie almost completely flat too which makes getting in the morning rather hard... cos it's so flipping comfy!For added comfort I strung up a tarp over the whole thing too and fitted a roomy gear sling underneath, which made for a great set-up in my opinion.I feel like this hammock is a great addition to my kit, especially the fact that if trees are in short supply this has to be the best hammock to set up on the ground. Very easy to do. Not quite as much room as when suspended, because the floor is much closer to the mosi net but still really good. Again, if you add a tarp, using your trekking poles you have a fantastic ground option.
