I love camping but really hate the backache, which I get by sleeping on the ground or on rocks. Even inflatable bes are no good. I tried them but suffered from backache after sleeping on them. I was looking for a comfy hammock that is comfortable and convenient and most importantly easy to carry. After searching for hours online, I found Coghlans 0115 Compact Hammock at Gorillasurplus.com.
The best thing about this hammock is its weight, which is just 16 ounces or roughly 750 grams. Since I carry many things in my bags like most of the campers do, so it was quite essential for me to get a hammock, which is light weighted and easy to carry. This compact hammock is made of polyester and the Spreader bars are 21 inches apart, which is the usual size. It completely serves the purpose of any hammock available in the market with similar specifications. I checked its features and specifications while buying. Being an average sized adult, I weigh 70 Kgs and this hammock serves my purpose very well with a capacity to take a maximum load of 250 lbs. (114 Kgs). It is very comfortable to sleep in and I did not experience any backache as such. In-fact my friend gave me some tips to sleep comfortably in a hammock which really helped. He asked me to sleep diagonally and/or with stuff sack between the legs. If you want a comfortable sleep while camping, Coghlans 0115 Compact Hammock is just right.

I also needed a high visibility vest and I found a HIGH VISIBILITY GREEN SAFETY VEST on Gorillasurplus.com. It is made up of super fine fluorescent polyester mesh, which makes it almost glow in the dark when light falls over it. It also has EN4711 reflective tape covering the waist and the shoulders to reflect the light of the oncoming vehicles etc. The Velcro is also a fluorescent coloured one. I love the adjustable waist and loops that have been provided with this vest. I got the option of ONE SIZE but it fits perfectly because of the adjustable loops and waist here. The price is quite reasonable and the quality of materials used like the polyester and the reflective tape is excellent. The visibility of this vest in low light conditions or in the dark is very good and gives a great safety advantage. It is truly value for money for the quality.
