Portable Hammock Stands

[Slugger]

Last check of the website shows the double strut stand kit (no hammock) at Handy Hammock as "out of stock" - doesn't look promising.

I understand that you were not interested in a DIY stand, but the camoflage netting pole system is so light, strong, compact, and works with a number of hammocks that I have to suggest that. Note, I currently have the joints and the parachute cord taped, but I've have purchase the clevis pins to pin the sections together, just like the store bought version. Just need to drill them out with the drill press...someday when I'm not using the hammock!

Apologies if this has been asked before. I have a dozen tabs of threads I am reading on the forums.

Are there any good quality portable hammock stands I can purchase?
I have found a lot of DIYs, but I was wondering if there is anything simple, portable enough I can purchase.

Unfortunately "The Handy Hammock Stand" will not work for our 11' hammocks, besides it already comes with a hammock.

This would be my choice,

I have been researching this very thing. I found a great link with some good options for this type thing.

No problem with the Handy Hammock stand loaded into my camping vehicle:


Also, no problem using it with my Blackbird XLC:

Left side is a large tree, right side is the HH stand (black pole on an angle).

I think that I'd almost always be able to find one tree or structure to connect one end to, I just need to hold up the other end.
I've yet to see another portable hammock stand that will easily fit on the bike.

If Handy Hammock is no longer in business then I'd hope that someone else fills the gap in the market and puts out a stand that is portable enough for the motorcycle campers (and also the bicycle campers and maybe backpackers too) so that we can avoid sleeping on the ground like animals!

I just purchased a Hammeck stand as I like how it breaks down into a carry bag. I will be carrying it on my kayak often and this one seems to fit the best for what I need.

I wrote Jason ( http://www.handyhammock.co.uk/ ) yesterday, asking when he expect to have the strut kit back in stock. He replied that they're back in stock less than 12 hrs later.

Oh really? That is great news!
I have not yet seen any other stand that is as portable and last weekend when I tried the one-tree hang for the first time it was actually really easy to get it to work for my 11' hammock.
I'd happily recommend the Handy Hammock stand for anyone looking for a light & portable option.
