Just sharing a silly Reddit argument I landed on today. This all started because I was shopping for beds recently and saw one in the store with a $20k price tag. I never knew beds could even be that expensive; turns out they can be way more than that (upwards of $1 million). Hästens is one such brand, with their most elite bed costing $500k. It is filled with horsehair and includes stingray leather, apparently.
Anywho, this is such a Reddity thread. If there is an opinion, there is a Redditor out there who will debate to the death to defend that opinion. Kudos to u/the_leviathan711 for arguing with that weirdo.
I’ve slept in a hammock for half a year, I can highly recommend it. The mistake most people make is they tie it up too loose, which fucks up the back. The hammock should be taut - it shouldn’t droop or have a curve, that’s something that comes when you lie in it. Keep your sleeping bag in the hammock and keep a bedsheet in the sleeping bag. This makes it easy to pack and unpack, keeps you warm without making your bag dirty.
Other bonuses of hammocks are that you have much more space suddenly - so much room for activities!
You can also modify your hammock to your hearts desire. Each line can be made shorter or longer individually, depending on what you need. I ended up making mine so when I put myself in it, it folded up around me.
