Ultralight Starter Hammock

I already own 3 hammocks and I'm always trying to go smaller and lighter. This hammock works. It's not too small that it's uncomfortable and it's lighter than my other hammocks. I love the size and the quality is great. Very happy with my purchase and it was on sale.

I had to replace my 10 year old ultralight when it finally wore out, and so am able to compare this new one and the old one side by side. I'm happy to say that functionally the new one is just as good as the old was, which is to say its the most comfortable hammock I've ever used. The new double size just isn't nearly as comfortable (I got one for my son). Although they don't have the camo pattern like my old one was, the shade of green is very nice, so I don't mind.

The only place where this one falls short of the quality they used to have is in the finishing touches, the branding patch and labels. There is no "ultralight" tag on this one so I probably won't remember what it was when it fails in another 10 years. The "Grand Trunk" patch on the old one was interesting and had a mountain with a camel on it. The new one is just the text. Same thing with the strap on the bottom, the old one had the logo with the camel and the new on just has the text.

I know I'm nitpicking here but it is a bit disappointing to hold both side by side and see the decline in quality. But it hangs just as well and I've gotten my hammocking back on so its all good. I might buy the other color for my wife.

I’ve been thinking of trying out a hammock while camping but was worried it would be complicated. Was I wrong! Set up took about 30 seconds with the Grand Trunk tree straps I purchased separately. Super comfortable and stable, being in that hammock is my new favourite place! Great product. Highly recommend!

I bought 10 of these for our summer camp! It has helped to create a relaxing, quiet outdoor space for our campers to chill and enjoy nature in. The kids LOVE them!

I absolutely love these starter hammock! Very easy to set up and perfect for all four of my little ones to enjoy!

Spent the whole day in their hammocks and didn’t come in til supper! Couldn’t be happier!

Feels strong but comfortable, super easy to fold into the pocket

They are great Hammocks. Love them

Got mine delivered yesterday, and immediately took it out to test. Great bang for your buck! Love the material as it breathes easily in the heat, actually got kinda chilly after a while to be honest haha. The fact that the stuff sack stays attached is a HUGE plus as well as it's the perfect place for a cold beverage (16 oz. in a coozie sits nicely) and my sunglasses(probably keys and such too if i used it for that). Paired with the tree straps and this was an easy set up and take down.

Our daughter chills out in this every day.

This was my first hammock and still my favorite after trying some larger and more expensive versions from ,ahem, competitors that may rhyme with "primo." I'm 5'9', but I find the smaller size of this hammock so much more comfortable than the larger and pricer one. So much so I'm getting ready to buy a second one.

This hammock if a very good hammock that is really affordable but also has good quality

I love this brand and all they offer

Awesome lightweight… comfortable… fits great on the hammock stand

This hammock was perfect for my young nephew! He is just starting out in hammock if with his friends. When he gets older I will definitely upgrade him to one that has the mosquito netting. You cannot and will not go wrong with any product from Grand Trunk. I buy hammocks and hand them out to homeless veterans in my community. Being a Marine myself the quality of product is beyond important since I am giving it to people who have valiantly served our country….this companies product fits that purpose. Thank you Grand Trunk!

Ultralight Starter Hammock

Works Great!

This is a birthday for a 9 year old scout, so I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but I see lots of fun in it's future! It arrived in a timely manner and appears to be good quality.

These are amazing hammocks

Haven’t gotten to use the hammock yet, but it seems strong enough. I ordered the blue but the color is more of a teal. My grandson is afraid it’s slightly feminine. Is there a really true blue color available?

The best hammocks for when you've just pressed start on the game of hammocking!

I bought my first Grand Trunk Hammock when I was traveling. The next day I set it up and it ripped! I only enjoyed 15 mins of bliss. I contacted customer service and, because I filled out the warranty, got a brand new one!
Ah life is good relaxing in my hammock.

I love my starter hammock, the blue color is beautiful and th a hammock is very durable, as well as comfortable 💙

True story: while sleeping in this in Yellowstone (a not fully calculated risk) I woke up to a massive elk chewing on this hammock near my face. I stayed still figuring it would move on, and it did...to chewing on the hammock near my feet. It got really into it there, throwing its head and swinging me around, in some misinformed quest for food. When I heard tearing noises I pictured my bundled self falling through at its feat and startling the majestic creature (not ideal), so I started soothingly talking until it eventually wandered away, confused, never recognizing there was something living inside the “green bean” it was chewing.

I bundled my stuff away to safety ASAP and was *shocked* to see that the abused hammock, covered in elk saliva, had NO DAMAGE. No rips/tears in the fabric at all- the ripping noises must have been the elk’s teeth sliding on the fabric as it pulled. All this to say- Very, very impressed with the durability of this lightweight starter hammock.

And this experience was after years of regular reliable use, including testing/exceeding its weight limit by having multiple friends sitting in it together with no issue...other than some non load-bearing carabiners not bearing loads, as promised.

p.s...no, I don’t believe the fabric attracts animals in any way, the park rangers identified this beast as “Destructo” himself, a notorious elk with some unfortunately...noteworthy habits.

Purchased this for my 10 year old's birthday and I am thrilled with the gift. She is an introverted kid who loves to read and having a little escape for her in the front yard is simply perfect. It might be the best present I've ever bought her. Fits her nicely, but I can relax in it, too. We have brought it along on our camping trips and easily been able to find spots to hang near our camper. I see more hammocks in our family's future! Thank you, Grand Trunk.

In the market for a first hammock? Me too! I'm a bit more familiar with silk hammocks but wanted something suited for outdoor use. The Ultralight Starter is a perfect companion hittin' the trails or for a quick hang out back. The hammock folds compact and does so with such ease. It doesn't have to be rolled or meticulously folded to be stuffed within its pouch: bring the two ends together, fold, fold, tuck it in. Same with the trunk straps (purchased separately from Grand Trunk), I rolled them fairly loose, but their pouch has more than enough room. This is all to say, setting up and taking down a hang requires only a few minutes! It's so quick to get in the air and tiny you'll find yourself taking it everywhere.

Comfy enough to fall asleep in, easy to clean. I snagged the single sized hammock and it's got more than enough room to lay on an angle back flat. Great for sitting, drawing, reading. That said, I suspect I'll be back to order a double just bc a comfy hang is best shared.

There is very little to say. This is great and I love it and I will continue to buy from them because its great!
