When asking most backpackers and hikers what they carry in their packs, most of them will answer with things like a first aid kit or an extra pair of socks. What is surprising is that when asked what they take to sit or rest on, the answers are varied and inconsistent. Many people take folding camp chairs or folding stools while others prefer not to take anything because they don't want the extra weight or oversize items in their pack. Careful consideration must be given to the size and weight of the items included ones backpack, after all, space is limited and weight equals energy.
Appalachian Outdoor Supply offers its Ultralight Hammock as a solution to the problem of comfort, size and portability. When it is stored in its attached stuff sack it is about the size of a grapefruit so it can be carried virtually anywhere and because it only weighs 1 pound, most users will not even notice that they are carrying it. It contains everything needed for use and can be set up in just a few minutes.
