In the market for a first hammock? Me too! I'm a bit more familiar with silk hammocks but wanted something suited for outdoor use. The Ultralight Starter is a perfect companion hittin' the trails or for a quick hang out back. The hammock folds compact and does so with such ease. It doesn't have to be rolled or meticulously folded to be stuffed within its pouch: bring the two ends together, fold, fold, tuck it in. Same with the trunk straps (purchased separately from Grand Trunk), I rolled them fairly loose, but their pouch has more than enough room. This is all to say, setting up and taking down a hang requires only a few minutes! It's so quick to get in the air and tiny you'll find yourself taking it everywhere.

Comfy enough to fall asleep in, easy to clean. I snagged the single sized hammock and it's got more than enough room to lay on an angle back flat. Great for sitting, drawing, reading. That said, I suspect I'll be back to order a double just bc a comfy hang is best shared.
