Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Hammock (500 lbs) with Tree Straps – 10 ft x 6.5 ft Portable Nylon Hammock Kit
Product description
The essentials (and the reality check)
If you want a portable hammock that’s actually meant for outdoor use—not just a backyard toy—this Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Hammock kit is built around an easy hang setup and comfortable lounging. It uses parachute-grade breathable nylon with a roomy double layout (10 ft x 6.5 ft wide), and the kit is designed to work with trees via included tree straps. It also claims a max capacity of 500 lbs, plus triple-stitched seams.
On paper, it reads like a backpacking-friendly hammock with a practical “no stand required” approach. Still, a hammock is only as good as your ability to find good anchor points—so if you often camp in places without suitable trees, you may feel limited.
What you get and why it matters
This is an all-in-one hammock kit. Besides the hammock itself, it includes 9 ft tree straps, carabiners, and a built-in stuff sack. The setup is described as tool-free and adjustable thanks to 5-loop straps, which is the kind of detail that makes the difference between “it’s usable” and “I’ll actually bring this on trips.”
A small but real advantage here is packing convenience: it weighs 24 oz and folds down smaller than a standard eggplant (yes, that’s how it’s described). For travel and hiking, that matters because gear weight and bulk tend to add up fast.
Key features you’ll notice day to day
The hammock is made from quick-dry, parachute-style breathable nylon fabric. The idea is comfort over long sits—especially when humidity is in the mix—because breathable material can feel less stuffy than heavier or less airflow-focused options.
The fabric is also positioned as wearable for outdoor use, with a focus on resisting daily wear and being suitable for long-term use. If you’re the type who uses your hammock more than once a year, this kind of “built for repetition” framing is worth paying attention to.
And then there’s the construction: durable nylon with triple-stitched seams, designed to hold up to 500 lbs without stretching or tearing. In hammock terms, that’s aiming for stability when you settle in—though no product is immune to misuse, sharp edges on trees, or incorrect setup.
Size and comfort: single vs. double
The double hammock measures 10 ft x 6.5 ft wide. That’s marketed as fitting two people, or one person who wants extra space. If you’re planning a couple of cozy sessions—post-hike wind-down, camping downtime, or even a slow afternoon by the fire—this larger footprint is the kind of difference you’ll feel.
It also makes sense if you’re sharing setup responsibility with a partner or family member. But if you’re strictly optimizing for solo ultralight comfort and minimal bulk, the “double” footprint might feel like more hammock than you need.
Setup reality: tree straps are both a plus and a limit
Tree straps are included, and the kit is explicitly meant for hanging without a stand. That’s great when you have solid trees at camp. It’s also how most people make hammock camping work—quick anchoring, simple adjustments, and no extra frame to carry.
However, you’ll want to be honest about your typical destinations. In areas where trees aren’t available or trees are too small/awkwardly spaced, you might spend longer figuring out anchor points than you’d like. A stand-based hammock setup can be more forgiving in those cases.

Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want a portable hammock kit designed for camping and backpacking, with included tree straps and a setup approach that doesn’t require a separate stand. The breathable nylon fabric and double-size footprint make it especially compelling for comfortable lounging—whether that’s two people sharing the space or one person who just doesn’t want to feel squeezed.
Skip it (or think twice) if your trips often lack suitable trees, or if you prefer a stand-based hammock solution for more predictable setup. Also, if you’re expecting “set it up anywhere, no adjustments” convenience, keep in mind that the whole system depends on where and how you can hang it.
