I plan to order one before our Thanksgiving trip.

I swear, Coleman comes up with the neatest stuff... that hammock is too cool! I wonder how much it weighs to carry, though?? I couldn't find that info, even at the Coleman site... That's a great idea, though!

That would be nice to take camping with us (we camp with a pop-up camper). I wish it said how much it weighed too. If it is 'portable' it should be too much.

Thanks for posting it.

Target has it, not too heavy, 43 lbs. :

43 pounds...Yikes! At least it would help me walk off the Palo souffle.
I did find another model that is only 16 pounds, tho'. I guess I'll opt for that one.

Barb, tell us where you found the 16 lb'r. That would be great, even around the house

 

[MarkRG]

The only thing I'd be worried about is at 16 lbs I'd probably collapse it. I'd like to see that one too, who makes it?

Barb,

Did you end up buying one for your trip? Have you tested it out yet. If you have the link for the 16lb one I would appreciate it. This would make a great gift for those travelling with us.

Thanks

I've been keeping an eye out on Ebay for one, as I have seen some great bargains over there. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time online yet, so I haven't had a chance to snipe one. That will be my project for after Christmas so I'll have it in time for our Feb. cruise. We got some camping chairs that are very similar, and we love them!

Now if only they sold a portable palm tree to place it under...

They do!!!
Have you ever seen those palm trees that are made of lights? Last year, I almost convinced hubby to buy one for my condo balcony! Once I get the hammock, I can set it up out there and pretend I'm on Castaway Cay (at least during the summer months). Hubby actually keeps a little bag of sand from CC on his desk, so my experience will be complete

Barb,

Here in Chicago you can leave them up on the balcony and pretend the snow is the gorgeous white sand of CC, turn on some Buffet...and grab another blanket as you stare at it out the window.
