3. Do not light a fire or use an open flame near the hammock, do not smoke while in the hammock.

4. Always check the condition of the equipment - if it is dirty, clean it, if it is broken, replace or repair.

8. Is it comfortable to sleep in a hammock? Is it advisable to do this with a sore back?

Let's start with the fact that you have to sleep properly in the hammock - DIAGONALLY and nothing else. This position will ensure that your body is practically straight and relaxed. Unlike a bed or other flat or uneven surface, sleeping in a hammock places virtually no strain on the body. Many people who have back problems (yes, also pregnant women) admit that sleeping in a hammock creates a feeling of relief. It has been proven that sleep is tighter and it is possible to fall asleep much faster. Of course, in the beginning, you have to get used to sleeping in a hammock and find your sweet spot. It is also possible to sleep on your side and stomach. A simple inflatable pillow will provide special comfort.

9. Does your back freeze while sleeping in a hammock? When to use insulation?

According to our own and customers' experience, we recommend the use of additional insulation if the air temperature is below 18 degrees Celsius, as well as if there is wind. Remember the golden rule - at the level of the senses, the wind at 1m / second lowers the air temperature by 1 degree. The hammock itself does not retain heat, while the sleeping bag provides heat only from the top because the thermal insulation layer at the bottom is compressed and practically no longer fulfills its function.
