It's been awhile since I have posted here but I have always lurked in the shadows from time to time. I have been scouring this site as well as the net to find an easy to build, easy to store, and easy to set up hammock stand for car camping. There seems to be a lot of diy turtle dog stands being built. I have contemplated building one but just haven't pulled the trigger yet because there is just something about it that just doesn't sit right with me, probably the long legs that don't break down for storage or hauling in the car. Today while searching youtube I saw Shug reveiw the Hammeck stand and I was intriged as to the simplicity of it and the ease of set up, as well as it's relatively compact size while stored as compared the the turtle dog stand. Of course I immidiately checked out the Hammeck websit and found out that they are no longer in bussiness. I then read the reasons in the manufacturer and services section. Thats sad to hear but I wish them the best in their adventures.
As I mentioned will be using this for the back yard and car camping so weight is not an issue. The reveiws seemed good on this stand so this is the stand I will be making. I'm surprised though why there are not more of these made in the DIY section. Are there any that have built a diy version of this stand?
