What if, when you went camping, you could leave the tent behind, as well as the sleeping bag, sleeping mat and everything else. What if you could instead carry a small package, no bigger than a folded t-shirt and weighing about one pound? With the Kammok, you can.
The Kammock is a camping hammock from Dallas, Texas. Made from a lightweight, breathable ripstop nylon called "LunarWave," the hammock apparently keeps you cool when it's hot and warm when it's cool. You probably don't want to sleep rough in a Kammock in the winter, but in warmer climes it makes a great lightweight tent replacement in the summer.
The sling is slung between trees, poles or whatever by a pair of "Python Straps." These webbing straps have a loop on one end so you can wrap them around a trunk and pass the end through the loop -- no knots needed. The other end fixes to the Kammock using a custom carabiner.
You can also adjust the Kammock, and most importantly you can lie flat if you want to. Anyone who has spent a night in a normal hammock, sleeping with an arched back, will know just how essential this is.
The Kammock is a Kickstarter project, and has already been funded. To get one after the pledging stage finishes in September 1st, you'll need to pay $85. Just add in a rain-fly (and a can of mosquito repellent) and you're done.
