Where It Really Shines Yes, it’s a hammock. Obviously. But where it genuinely surprised us was how often we used it not as a bed, but as a chair. Set it up right, and you can sit at a comfortable angle, lean back and… just be. Read a book. Tap away on a laptop. Watch the world go by. There’s something oddly civilised about it, even when you’re parked up in the middle of nowhere.
