Ready for your first adventure? Here's your shortcut.

You now have everything you need to get started: knowledge, inspiration, tips, and tricks. Here we summarize the most important points – including a practical packing list for your first hammock camp.

Why Hammock Camping?

• You sleep freely and flexibly – even without a flat floor

• You need less luggage than with a tent

• You are closer to nature and experience it more intensely

What you definitely need:

• Hammock with suspension (e.g. moon straps or ropes + carabiners)

• Sleeping pad or underquilt (depending on the weather)

• Sleeping bag or blanket

• Mosquito net (for outdoors)

• Tarp (for rain or sun protection)

• Headlamp

• water bottle

• Power bank / cell phone / emergency contact

• First aid kit

• Garbage bags (for your waste & as a replacement for a pack bag)

Optional – but practical:

• Gear organizer / small bag

• seat pad

• Hammock sleeve

• Earplugs or sleep mask

• Top quilt or extra blanket

• Drip lines when it might get wet

For the first time:

• Choose a simple spot near you (e.g. forest, park or garden)

• Check weather forecast & sunset

• Make a test setup at home

• Don’t stress – it’s all about practice

Let's hang!

Pack your things, grab your hammock and rediscover the world – among the trees.
