Trail-Buddy TeacherMeet Ben Hammockin
Hey there! I'm your trail-buddy teacher for all things hammock. Started hanging five years ago on a cold night in the Smokies—learned the hard way that a 45° sag and no underquilt makes for a miserable sleep.
Now I test every hammock with the same questions: Does it keep you comfortable? Is the setup actually simple? Will it respect the trees? I share the honest field notes—what worked, what didn't, and who each hammock is really for. No hype, just helpful hangs.
