Hammocks

Thecatal has some unique ideas about camping. After 2023's massive man-machine Magic Fort vehicle tent, the company has slimmed its camping conceptualizations way down into a new ultralight backpacking tent that pitches in as little as 10 seconds.

There are already inflatable-frame tents, so why not inflatable hammocks? That's exactly what the Atmos is, and it's claimed to keep users warm at night without adding to the bulk and weight they have to carry.

The SkyNest combines a hammock, bug mesh net and rainfly in a single package that can be used all together or in its separate components. It's claimed to be roomier than other hammock tents, and easier to set up.

Even if you've got less than a minute to spare, that's still enough time to set up this hammock stand. That's the claim made by Wyoming-based outdoor gear company Yobogear regarding its new Turtlebug stand, which is currently on Kickstarter.

Generally speaking, if you want to be warm and snug while sleeping outside, you sleep in an insulated tent. Crua Outdoors' new Culla Hammock Wrap Around V2, however, now brings the same sort of coziness to hammocks.

Although there are plenty of portable hammock stands on the market, their take-anywhere convenience may be negated if they take too long to set up. That shouldn't be a problem with the anymaka, as it reportedly goes up in just three seconds.

Tentsile has released a "Lite" version of its Stingray flagship tree tent. The three-person Stingray Lite isn't exactly ready to stuff into a backpack for a weeklong expedition on foot, but it saves weight and cost using lighter and fewer materials.

We've seen many portable hammock stands over the years, and virtually all of them share one thing in common: they hold just one hammock. The new Yobogear Hive stand travels anywhere to make treeless hammocking a couples-friendly affair.

Spending the night in a Tentsile tree tent can be a truly inspiring way to camp, but hovering in a mesh dome loses appeal once winter hits. The new Insulated Cabin supports cold-weather camping while creating impressive multi-story Tentsile setups.

Kammok pitches the Outpost vehicle hammock stand as an off-grid hammock and shelter solution for car campers and overlanders. Store it in the trunk, set it up and start lounging in about a minute, even when there are no suitable trees for miles.

A new startup looks to combine the primitive elements of earth, water and air into a camping experience unlike any other. The Dookan tent stands up over the ground on short or extended legs, lifting campers for a breezier, more scenic night.

A very different style of hammock tent, the iDome Shelter uses a stout aluminum, steel and carbon frame to hoist up to 1,000 pounds off the ground. It can keep you and a friend lounging blissfully while also holding gear over top the critters below.
