Outdoor Camping Hammock
Mr. Questionable Approved
How the stars work · You bought that?!
Mr. Questionable Approved — solid, packs small, and cheap enough that I bought two more.
Who it's for
Dock naps, camping, and anyone who wants a hammock without a furniture budget.
Who should skip
People hunting a stand-and-cushion backyard hammock set, not a packable camping one.

I love a hammock. I love the idea of a hammock. I love the idea of having the time to take naps in a hammock. Bliss. So I needed to find a way to have a hammock on the dock, enter the outdoor camping hammock I bought off AliExpress.us.
This is a great item, very solidly constructed, packs away into its own small self-contained pouch and can be easily strung up using the built-in straps and clips. Comfortable to lay in, it also comes with a built-in bug guard that can be zipped closed. I ended up buying two more for other places. I trust it so much I'm happy to dangle over the river, even in colder temps.
Its a bargain under $40.
Pros
- Solid construction
- Packs into its own pouch
- Built-in straps, clips, and bug guard
- Under $40
Cons
- It is a packable camping hammock, not patio furniture

The Quintessential Questionable Gadget
I didn’t need an R36S handheld gaming device. I don’t have time for playing hours of video games. But at one time I had the time. And once upon a time I used to dream about having a handheld device for playing all my favorite games. And I love classic Atari, Nintendo, Sega and arcade games. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
