So my wife went out of town this weekend for a surprise birthday party for her grandmother. What that really means is three nights in the hammock for me.

Lucky dog!
Where the trail ends the adventure begins!
I dunno...no tarp, bug net, or underquilt - kinda feels like you are cheating
Ocean view hang, what a spot!
If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.

Technically, the hammock is in my office. I'm in grad school right now and do a lot of reading, so I figured what better way to read than in a hammock? Though I was sleeping in my camping hammock, I have a basic gathered end in there on most days for normal lounging/reading. Turns out my wife actually loves my reading hammock, especially since it's not in any of the other rooms.
I have it hung with two heavy duty stainless steel eye hooks that I picked up from Home Depot. I was very careful to mount them in the dead center of the studs and they've held up to near daily use (lounging/reading) for several months now. For reference, I'm around 175# so I don't know how well they would hold with higher weights. However, they haven't given the slightest indication of moving or failure since I put them in. Here are a few pics of the setup (though I don't use the carabiners anymore).

I have the same eye-bolt setup in my bedroom. They've been there for around 2 years now... They seem very secure so far!
Enjoy your nights in the hammock! I know I enjoy every night on mine!
I'd rather be hanging.
