    Yobo Hammock Stand

    Anyone ever heard of Yobo Gear Hammock Stand? I did a search and didn't find anything. Looks interesting.

    Looks nice. We'll see when they get the Kickstarter live.

    Pretty cool idea. Interested in the retail cost.

    Welcome to HF.

    Product looks unstable and a lawsuit waiting to happen imho.

    Unlike other stands of this type, it appears serious injury can result from a collapse.

    Yeh, curious how well a couple stakes on each side are going to guy that thing out. Probably no different than the DD version: http://www.ddhammocks.com/product/ul...nd?from_cat=30

    My portable stand guys out made by a HF member - total cost was under 200

    This design looks interesting!

    The DD looks like it would be much lighter

    HMMMM... I like the portability, but it's pricey and the whole setup seems a bit sketchy. I don't think I'd sleep well in it without a ridgepole

    The kickstarter campaign has an early bird price of $85 for one and $150 for 2. But the campaign is not live yet, so they could still change that price.

    I totally agree on the stability uncertainty. I hope they have some independent reviews of the product. They should really reach out to the HF members to do a test/evaluation.
