I’m a hammock guy. We added an ENO hammock to our gear collection long ago, and it comes out whenever we get the chance. We read in them, work in them, and even snuggle the kids in them. The ENO DoubleNest hammock we’ve been using have been good, but we have not been happy with…
Sam and I have been Chaco Sandal owners since a few months after we were married almost twelve years ago. I loved using them on my river trips in college, and they are fabulous for casual, everyday summer wear. Plus, Chaco tans just make you look really hard core, right? When I started hunting around…
During our visit to Austin, we made a visit to the Woom Bike USA Headquarters. You might remember Woom Bikes from our experience teaching Cara to ride a bike last year. We’ve loved Cara’s bike, and it has been a wonderful year zooming around. We were pretty stoked to visit HQ and meet Mathias and…
That balance bike looks great! My three year old has just started to get interested in the one he got for Christmas, and I’ve been kicking myself for not getting one with a hand brake for him. We love the greenway near our house for bike rides….but this summer we’ll be getting back to the Cape Cod bike paths that we haven’t been on in years–can’t wait!ReplyCancel
Would love to win. We have 3 kids ages 2-6 and would love to check out the pinch free buckle on this helmet! My husband and I love going on bike rides down the canal, to our kids favorite park, Castle Park in Yuma, AZ…. I love what your family is doing and hope to embrace the travel life with my own 3 kids someday soon!ReplyCancel
For those of you that have seen the inside of our Airstream closet, you know we don’t have much room. Its not even the size of a normal person closet, yet we cram 5 people’s worth of clothes in it. Top a small closet off with the extreme dislike of shopping and its a wonder…
That clothing line looks adorable and so versatile, I would wear that Kyle Wrap with everything! My boyfriend had a similar (though shorter!) adventure with his parents when he was a child and he refers to learning more during that time than years of “regular school” frequently, so I could see this sort of life unfolding for me as well- happy to have found you here and on ig and fb to follow! Thanks!ReplyCancel
After spending months wandering around Florida, we were starting to miss our summer backpacking adventures. After some research on The Outbound, Jess found Cumberland Island, located in Georgia, just North of the Florida border. Although we could do just a day trip, we kind of have a thing for camping on islands (see here and…
We love hammocks when we camp. But the right straps are always the issue for keeping trees safe and the hammock secure. We’re heading over to check out this Kickstarter campaign now. Thanks so much.

Awesome! Hope you were able to get in on it!
Looking at the photos of your Atlas straps, it’s very obvious that they’ve been left in the sun for a loooong time (thread is bleached). I too am curious about the long term durability of the ultimate straps but you should know that ANY strap exposed to long term UV will eventually fail. Safe hammocking!
yeah those straps do look way better! i love hearing about kickstarter projects like this. we have a super old eno hammock that’s really bulky and heavy that we’ve been meaning to upgrade. 🙂
[…] Hammocks are all the craze right now and for good reason. We use ours all the time and have found ways to rig it to the truck when two trees are not readily available. We’ve been impressed with the quality of Ultimate Hammocks, their prices, and most recently their Ultimate Hammock Straps. Definitely the lightest, smallest ones on the market right now (blog post here). […]
