Any Good Hammocks Out There?


Recommended Posts

If this has already been covered, my apologies... anyone know where a good 19th century style naval hammock can be had?

The hammock is little more than a rectangle of canvas that is gathered at the ends by a hemp rope. Find some heavy duty canvas and put brass eyelets in the ends for the rope. Instant hammock.

You can order hammocks at this site. http://www.nicamaka.com/PG-InUseLandscapet.htm

Remember, it has to be big enough for them to sew you into it if you get killed.

Hmmm, while these are all nice hammocks, they dont address the question as they don't even resemble anything period, eh??...You might assemble your own, capt..pretty simple, but leave out the spreader board, definitely modern, mates....and yes, this has been covered in another thread.....'search engines, anyone?'

:huh:
