 this video has nothing to do with the most videos on my channel which which are about software and stuff like that i'm in my backyard look at that cool little tree i planted seven years ago and it's grown like a foot since then no it's actually doubled in size but it's still pretty small anyway uh i want to make a suggestion again this is this is just me talking i want to make a video about this so i'm making a video about this because this is my channel i can make videos about whatever i want this hammock when i i moved out here um actually eight eight and a half years ago uh two two the swamp uh and one of the things i wanted was a hammock uh because growing up my dad always had a hammock but i wanted a hammock and my dad had one that had a you know the hammock stand that went in out i'm like no no no no i want one i'm just gonna hook between trees um which is actually very hard to find because i moved in here in the fall and most places in town back in 09 um only sold hammocks in the summertime which is because i live in florida it's like what does it matter that it's summertime that's just what they did um and i got a hammock like this you know which which you know a beach hammock i guess you would call it where it's it's ropey and these aren't cheap they're like you know a cheap one it's probably 30 40 bucks for this you know but it's nice it's hard to get in and out of if you have kids they want to climb in with you and you feel like you're gonna flip over now i uh sometimes occasionally go camping with my family and sometimes we just camp in people's backyards like this and uh i hate setting up tents and everyone brings big old tents and air mattresses i also don't want to sleep on the floor so i quickly looked on amazon and they had and again this is not a sponsored video or anything like that i'm gonna say a name brand or anything like that there's very lots of different companies to make these i got one of these hammocks and they make different ones and and they actually make ones with like mosquito nets on top or they're kind of like what's the word i'm looking for i just said it a second ago the thing you sleep in when you're camping um a tent yes they have little tents on top like i got this thing it was $11 on amazon most of them are like $15 to $25 this one was $11 so it came it came with straps strap it to the trees and if you look at this on the side it has this built-in little pouch and everything the hammock the straps the d-clips all that stuff fit into this pouch now i haven't tried putting it back in here since i got it and i got it just you know in case i ever wanted to go camping i'm just like don't have to set up anything just tie this thing to a tree and you can sleep in it and it's actually pretty cool because when you get in it you can actually like cocoon yourself and it's nice if it's windy out it protects you it's kind of like a windbreaker if it's sunny out you can put this over your face and it's still breathable um but it is awesome and uh and i put it up just to test it out and end up leaving it up because it's actually more comfortable than that and me and my son can both get in here and lay comfortably he can actually climb in it without flipping over and um i don't know again how easy it is to put it back in this little pouch um but should be able to go back in there and i mean it's just look out look how small this is anyway um again this is not a topic that i normally have on my channel again i'm usually talking about tech stuff or computer stuff so i guess this is tech this is technology you know um what i'm saying here is if you have two trees and eleven dollars this is worth it because i lay in this thing almost every day i try to come out here for 20 minutes to an hour a day just to relax you know and just get out in nature and look look up at the trees look at the look up at the tall trees um and uh i hung this one up just testing i got it you know for camping and stuff but i actually like laying it more than that one is this one this one is nice um but again if you're not careful you will flip over i once i was here had some friends over and they had a couple of kids and we had four or five kids laying long ways across this and my daughter decided to hop out and the other four kids completely flipped over the entire thing flipped before they hit the ground they all and and really this sometimes i bring a towel out to put under my head and lay on because the rope really isn't all that comfortable i mean it is comfy but not compared to that thing this thing is super comfy i didn't think it would be um so if you if you'd never lay in one of these i suggest getting one and just lay 11 bucks 11 bucks amazon prime and you know i'm not promoting amazon prime i'm not promoting a particular brand of hammock but like this style of camping hammock and uh they range in price a lot uh but i said the average they're usually 15 to 25 bucks if this one was 11 bucks and it is great you know um that one i always put away in the summertime and i i use it in the wintertime in the summertime i don't use as much because because the um the cotton that it's made out of uh from what i've read they fall apart in here in florida it rains like crazy in the summer and that thing will just fall apart but this one i might leave out because it probably dries out real good i'm assuming it's an nylon um it probably won't mildew and fall apart like that one and you know if it does it's 11 bucks i'll buy a new one and next time don't leave it out but it's a lot easier to to to put up because this thing you know you take it down you have these big wood beams here and you're trying to carry it and there's a chain that you try to carry all falls apart this thing rolls up and i can carry it and bring it inside if i want to probably have it up in a couple of minutes super super easy hey it's just i've been so happy i got this thing maybe a month ago and i've laid it in almost every day well actually at first i didn't i i laid in it once and then i kept laying in that and my son would come out and he would lay in this one in fact he says it's his he'll lay in that and i'd lay in that and we'll just talk and talk and talk but then for the last like two weeks if he's not out here even if he is out here we'll both lay in that one you know i forget it does have a weight limit um but me and my three-year-old son both fit in it fine i bet it can hold two adults i forget what the weight limit is um but it is super awesome and i'm just so happy with it i wanted to share it with you guys so you know check those out you know just search hammocks and maybe camping hammock i think it was might be what i looked up and uh and i told my son you know so now that i got one i like it i might get a second one and then the future someday you know when he's a little older he's only three now but we'll camp out in the backyard we'll just put them up and sleep in them how awesome would that be oh the weather is so nice right now you know you're probably watching this video much later than this but it's i think last week was the first day of spring here and it has been super cool which is nice because the last couple of years here in florida have been super hot and super dry and i know this winter this you know last couple months a lot of people up north have had horrible horrible winters it's been nice down here in florida finally and the fact that it's this late in the year and we're still getting nice weather where i'm not i don't have sweat pits after being outside for i think i've been out here for 40 45 minutes now um is awesome anyway so off topic but i thought it'd be nice to share with you guys that's a banana tree banana banana no no it's not a banana tree i've always corrected banana stock got one up front too maybe i'll begin some bananas later this year i hope i hope anyway have a great day
