hammock is urethane coated. We have had customers use our hammocks all
over the world with great success - from researchers spending months in the
South American rainforests to a lone canoeist spending a week in the
Boundary Waters area.
IS THE BRCH ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?
If used per the instructions and set up as a hammock, the BRCH is extremely
friendly to the environment. It will not harm trees or other sturdy objects
used to secure the hammock, and it almost completely eliminates
disturbance and destruction of underbrush. We also strongly support and
are members of environmental organizations such as Leave No Trace, Sierra
Club, and Outdoor Industry. We also ship our products Carbon Free; our
partner, Verde Fulfilment, purchases carbon offsets for our shipments,
ensuring they are carbon free.
CAN YOU USE THE BRCH ON THE GROUND OR AS AN OPEN/REGULAR
HAMMOCK WITHOUT BUG NETTING?
Yes to both. Ground/Tent: Set up just as you would as a hammock, but
instead of connecting to trees, just stretch tight and stake the two ends (can
use tent stakes or even sturdy sticks).
Open Hammock: take out/don’t use the arch poles and lay on top of the bug
netting or flip the hammock over and lay on that side (still remove arch
poles for this option).
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO INSULATE FOR CAMPING IN COOLER
WEATHER?
Our underquilt is the best option and is designed for our hammock, but also
works great with all gathered end/parachute hammocks. Lining the interior
of the hammock bed with a pad/blanket is also helpful. Space/emergency
blankets work well too. Lastly, keep the rainfly on to help retain body heat.
I’M NOT USED TO HAMMOCK CAMPING (OR AM USED TO GATHERED END
HAMMOCKS) AND DON’T FEEL STABLE, WHAT CAN I DO?
