Easy set up and super comfy!!!
I finally went hammock camping and can't believe I've missed out of the practicality and comfort of it! I bought the single owl almost 2 years ago and only had tried it once for a few hours last year. I purchased the rain tarp and bug net as well which I would consider a necessity for any camping trip. I was advised to bring an airpad which I couldn't get in time for my trip, so I substituted using a yoga mat. I definitely recommend using something for a bottom layer. It will flatten out the hammock and even though the night temps did not fall below 74F with 90% humidity, it can still get a bit chilly in the hammock.The ease of setting up was my favorite part. I got to the campground at 1am with limited lighting and all in all my hammock, bug net and rain tarp were up in less than 15mins. And that without ever having tried the whole set up before. The rain tarp did an awesome job keeping everything dry during a day time shower. I have not yet had a rainy night to try it out. The bug net is an absolute life saver. And I believe that because of the layers, mosquitoes can't bite through the bottom or side of the set up. When first looking at a hammock I wanted to make sure I get everything from one company. Wise Owl really impressed me with their variety of products, their continuous drive to improve and the great quality of what they offer.Next I want to see if the lightweight hammock matches durability and comfort as I am all for carrying less weight on these weekend trips. Happy camping y'all!

Fantastic Hammock: just buy It.
This kid did a lot of reading before purchasing this hammock. Up until now I’ve been dependent on my ENO. I’ve spent long days in the Amazon rainforest with my own hammock an knew that I didn’t want anything less than perfect for my husband’s hammock from WOO. Everything about his new Wise Owl Outfitters hammock is great! We recently took both hammocks to the park and compared them side by side. Mine is the blue/gray ENO double and his is the burgundy/gray WOO double owl. There a few differences in the way the ropes knot at the end points, and a few minute differences in the way the two are stitched, but overall both hammocks are equal in length, flexibility, softness of material and performance. The WOO comes stock with chunky carribearers and a basic short rope for suspension if you want to use it right out of the bag; however, I purchased a strap set that came with lighter weight carribeaners that I have now used to replace the stock ones.I will update this post with weights for each hammock and possibly more photos if requested. Overall I would absolutely buy this brand again. The price is unbeatable, and it’s on par in quality with the best in the market. Stop thinking and just get one! :) I was not paid to write this review. I’m just an English major who believes in the product.

Awesome hammock
I've never liked sleeping in a tent. I'm always too hot, and it's stuffy in there, and all the nylon, plus the weight and the setup... no thanks. So, for a recent two night hike I thought I'd try a hammock. After doing some research, I settled on the Wise Owl Outfitters Single Hammock. I'm a convert for life! It's lightweight, easy to setup, sturdy and comfortable. I'm a big guy (6' 4", 250lbs) so I was a little concerned with how well it would hold up. I was also a little afraid of whether I'd find myself dragging the ground because the straps had stretched out overnight. My fears were completely unfounded, however. There was absolutely no stretching, and it held me up just great over two nights.The straps are a fabulous idea. I'd never used them before, but they were great. They make it very easy to fine tune the tension and length of the hammock set up.

Straps are included!
I reached out to Wise Owl Outfitters (WOO) right after placing my order in regards to the mixed reviews of people stating instead of straps, they received rope instead... WOO confirmed they are shipping them with straps and insisted my order would arrive with straps, and if not to reach out to them and they will send me some. That was good to hear. So for everyone questioning if they come with straps, as of this review date 3/24/2019 they DO come with straps.i was able to set it up yesterday and found a couple trees i thought were far enough away, but rather thick, so i didn't have my slack left in the straps so had to include some paracord. The paracord stretched quite a bit so after the initial setup i realized i needed to leave much less slack in the paracord. Once i did that i was able to get in and try it out. This is my first hammock, so i have nothing to compare it to, but this WOO met all my expectations! Can't wait until it gets a little nicer out to get in it more :)

Nice!! BAD in rain though
I've tried out a few hammocks before, but for some reason this one is one of the more comfier ones. Ususally the edges are very tight and hurt if your legs are over the edge, but this 2P hammock feels really nice. Very spacious and it does not fold in on itself when you're inside like other may.The strap with this are great and easy to put on. Love it!I need a bug net and a tarp with this--------UPDATE:The hammock straps/carabiners are NOT good when it rains. Water will run down the tree and onto the strap. The water will then flow down the strap and eventually onto the hammock. I was laying in the hammock under a tarp (not provided by them) and after a while my back was feeling cold. I realized the entire thing was soaked.My friend's hammock was dry, not a Wise Owl Hammock. What I did was take a piece of string and tie a knot on the carabiners with loose ends of the knot hanging down. That way, when the water ran down the strap and onto the carabiners, the water would then go onto the string/rope and drip off, rather than continuing down and soaking the hammock.

Great quality hammock; heavy carabiners
Wow, what a great hammock!The quality of nylon and the stitching on this is amazing. Even the straps seem like they'll hold up to some serious abuse.My one concern is how darn heavy the carabiners are. I would estimate that the sheer weight of all that steel accounts for a very large portion of the pack weight.4/5 stars. Consider offering aluminum carabiners as an upgrade; I think they would sell well!Update:Took this beast out to Algonquin park for a 32km hike in the back country, not at all disappointed. I compared it to a MEC model that a friend brought for about $90, and the WiseOwl held its own.The MEC version had far more anchor points on the straps, and the bottom of the hammock had a water resistant coating on it, which made me a little jealous until it rained.The WiseOwl hammock dried in about an hour of wind exposure, but my friend's MEC held the water because of the water resistant coating.Quite satisfied.

Great hammock and super comfortable
Great hammock and works amazing. The straps are good quality however in my case need to get longer staps. On a hot day in the shade you will be cool, so a underquilt will be needed if you plan to use in fall or winter.For the seller the delivery was quick, I purchased in 2020 and wanted to use it good for an accurate review. Seems to hold up well under regular use this far. Product is as described by seller.I can not comment on customer service but would order again from this seller.
