Chris's Review of Lawson Hammock Blue Ridge Camping Hammock
I did about a month of research before I purchased this hammock, and compared about 10 leading brands. Once I ruled out the gathered end hammocks (I am a side sleeper, and did not want to be wrapped up or cocooned) the Lawson BRCH was an easy choice. Campsaver’s price was about 30%, off with free shipping, and my hammock arrived in about 5 days. This is a very well designed and well made piece of outdoor equipment, that went up very quickly and easily.
I do recommend guying out the corners for increased stability, and if you experiment with the rain fly there are ways to install it about 3/4 of the way so that if it does begin to rain you can ‘deploy’ the fly without having to get out of the hammock. I have replaced the thin bungees meant to hold up the arch poles, using a NightEyz bungee which is more substantial, adjustable, and has better clips than what came on the hammock. Inside, the hammock is very roomy, and I have plenty of space to roll over, stretch, move to a diagonal position, and with lots of head clearance. And yes, the lay is flat enough that I can sleep on my side!
