Did you have a nice Labor Day Weekend? It always feels like the last slice of summer. Did anyone go camping? If so, I’ve got a hammock to talk about that I know you will want to take on your next adventure.
Do you ever see a product and think, “Wow, how absolutely clever that someone thought of that!”? A few months ago I saw a photo of my adorable sister in law in this really cool hammock. She was for sure living her best camping life. I had to know more about where she got such a cool hammock.
Turns out, the clever someone that created this hammock with a mosquito net was Ridge Outdoor Gear. This hammock is now providing a peaceful place in our backyard.
As much as we love to sit outside in the evening, we are often carried away by mosquitos. This hammock has provided a safe haven where I can read my book after the hot sun goes down. We are all enjoying it and doing our best to take turns. Annabelle rigged her battery operated lantern so she could read even longer.
If you like to camp, you could really use this hammock. It’s very easy to hang between two trees, folds up compactly, it’s light weight, and it keeps the ‘squitos away.
We spent some time in Michigan this summer and found a really great lookout spot to hang it where we could see the lake and the sunset. It was in the middle of the woods so you know the mosquito net was appreciated.
I should also mention that this hammock is also great without the net. You know, if you want a clear view of the fly fishing show or if it’s a time of day that you don’t need bug protection. That’s why they call it a 2 in 1 hammock. The photo below is my brother fly fishing and his wife watching.
It’s so easy to hang! You just need two trees folks. They can be pretty far apart too, the straps make it very easy to adjust and hang properly. You’ll have it hung in a snap, especially if you guess your strap length right the first time. We typically have ours hung in a minute or less.
Now that you know about this self-contained hammock, you want one too, right? Or maybe you are looking for a gift idea for your mother-in-law who loves to hike and camp. Oh wait, that’s me! It’s available on Amazon (affiliate link) for $49.96 or their website. Maybe you should throw it on your Amazon wishlist while you’re thinking about it.

We had a bonfire at our house and made lots of smores.
We had a cookout with the family – last get together before the kids headed back to school!
We went swimming at the pool!
We stayed home and enjoyed time in the pool with a nice bbq. The kids had a great time.
It was a nice, long, quiet weekend spent pretty much indoors as it was still over 100 degrees here in Tucson.
We stayed home and went to local places like parks. Too much traffic!
We spent the weekend at the cabin with kids and grandkids — had a great time.
I spent Labor Day weekend at a campground with some friends. We played Bingo, cooked a lot of food, and sat around the bonfire. Thanks.

We barbecued and got ready for the new school year which started the day after.
Took our kiddos to Dollywood theme park in TN!
We didn’t do anything! I had to work that Monday so it was a regular day for me! LOL
Me and my husband did some ribs on the grill and went fishing!!
I went camping with my family!
We grilled out with my husband’s family on Labor Day.
I spent it working in the yard and babysitting a friend’s children. Fun stuff!

Wow, the mosquito net is a great idea (especially as I spent labor day weekend being eaten by mosquitoes)!
We went fishing for the first time as a family.
Going out to eat and playing board games with friends
Unfortunately, I had to work that weekend. But work slows down after September so I’ll make up it up to myself and my dog. We will get some outdoor adventures during Fall in our Utah mountains!
We went camping and then to a park for a cookout!
I spent my Labor Day weekend tubing with family and friends and a BBQ cookout.
This looks cool! The mosquito net is amazing because the bugs here in Northern Virginia are so. crazy. 🙂
We were trying to dodge a hurricane.
Spent my Labor Day avoiding all the people who wanted to come to Santa Monica on their day off! Our hammock from Venezuela finally broke, so we need a replacement 😊
I spent Labor Day weekend at the hospital with my dad recovering from surgery. I did though get to eat crabs as my hubby and daughter went crabbing that Monday.
You’re a sweet daughter. I hope your dad is doing better. I’ve never been crabbing, but I have a friend that loves to go. I need to try it sometime!
I spent my labor day hanging out at home with my family because it was raining.
We enjoyed it by BBQing and relaxing on the deck.
We really enjoyed our Labor day weekend by relaxing mostly but also enjoying some burgers & hotdogs around a fire during the late hours of our Saturday night.
Time around the fire is always a great time! Sounds like a good holiday!
We noodled around in the yard with the dogs. It’s still very hot here. I cooked some Tomahawk steaks.
We actually spent Labor Day weekend getting ready for Hurricane Dorian.
Oh no! Did you suffer damage? I know it’s always stressful wondering if it’s going to hit hard.
I’ve been wanting a hammock. This one looks perfect. Thanks for the great blog about it.
My Labor Day weekend was quiet. Lots or reading and relaxing.
We spent Labor Day weekend with our son who went to college two weeks ago!
I bet you were extra happy to be together. I remember how much I missed my family when I went off to college. I can’t even think about my own kids leaving.
I spent my Labor Day weekend with back pain. This hammock would have been nice to have! Haha It was also my hubby’s birthday so we went to the park to play one of his favorite games and bbq.
We planted fruit trees.
This is so great!
We went to Indiana to visit family for Labor Day weekend and had a great time. 🙂
I spent my Labor Day weekend drawing, going for a long run and shopping!
Attended a get together with grilling and conversation.
We spent it at the fair!
Quality time with family including the furry ones! Hitting the trails is the best!
We did house work! My husband spent much of the weekend underneath our house installing jacks for the floor joists, while I cleaned the house and reorganized our guest room for upcoming visits. We did take some downtime on Monday to grill burgers and binge watch some HBO series. It wasn’t the most fun weekend, but it was productive and relaxing!
Sometimes it’s nice to have time to get to the things that never get done. Productive and relaxing are good things!
We grilled, smoked meat and relaxed a lot! I hope you had a fun one!
