I've been trying to get a combination of light weight under and overquilts and all packaged with a decent weight. I, at first avoided the Grand Trunk Evolution hammock because it appeared heavy at 4.2 lbs. Once I realized that adding all my gear together came out heavier, I went with the Grand Trunk. So much easier than worrying about hanging under quilts. So much more comfortable than any pod system. So far only tried it in summer temps, but it works great. I am looking forward to getting much use out of this.
I got 2 of them to take to the beach with us this summer. It also looks like it will make it into my backpack on the next trip out! Love the corner pockets to fill with sand or rocks, it keeps from having to carry pegs/tent steaks. Looking forward to many trips with the sheet!
I bought the hammock stand for a couple reasons, and the most pressing one was as a (temporary) replacement for my bed during a move. It has been super helpful because it’s light and easy to move (for what it is), and I honestly really like the little bit of flex from the frame. I’m sleeping so well and the only reason I haven’t paired it with my Grand Trunk hammock is because my cats sleep with me, so it definitely works with other hammocks, too!! I’m a bit annoyed with the Velcro on the carrying case as I prefer zippers, but that’s a me thing and doesn’t change my rating. If you’re thinking about this, it’s absolutely worth it. I currently (and open endedly) use it daily and it’s been an amazing investment. I can’t wait to use it outside this summer 😅
