Parachute hammocks are light, compact and very practical. You can take 'em anywhere… and hang 'em anywhere. Parachute nylon is quite strong and will easily hold 2 persons, just check that your hanging structure is strong enough. Like any decent hammock, the parachute is wide enough to lie in comfory, diagonal position. Ok for over night sleeping, if necessary with mozzie net, rain shelter, anti-wildlife cage. Just make sure you hang it level because you will slide to the lowest point of gravity. No problem if it gets moist, but protect from direct UV-sun light. Careful with sharp objects & ambers from campfires or cigarettes.
