FACTS ABOUT PORTABLE HAMMOCK

Hammock has been used since the 15th century by sailors who work on ships as their beds; they get tired from standing on their feet all day long while they are on duty so they need to lay down to rest at night.

History Of The Hammock

THE HISTORY OF THE HAMMOCK

The hammock is a very old invention that was first used by the native people of the Amazon rainforest in Central and South America. These natives made hammocks from tree bark or fibers such as cotton and jute. The original hammocks were woven from tree bark that is why they are called “hammock” which means “hamma” which means “of” and “noc” which means “tree bark”.

The hammock was later adopted by the European explorers who came to the Americas; these explorers brought with them their own materials for making hammocks such as cotton, linen, and silk. The Europeans also brought with them the idea of hanging a hammock in between two trees to use it as a bed.

Pirates and Hammocks

HAMMOCKS AND PIRATE SHIPS

The early British and Spanish sailors used hammocks to sleep on their ships instead of using regular beds. There is a very famous story about the pirate captain Henry Morgan who was supposed to have taken over a Portuguese ship and killed the crew. When the Spanish soldiers came looking for Captain Morgan, they found that he had already escaped by hiding in one of the ship’s hammocks which is how he got away.

Hammocks in Peru

HAMMOCKS AND PERU

The native people of Peru were also known for making hammocks; they even made them from colored cotton fabrics. The Peruvian hammocks are considered as some of the most comfortable hammocks in the world; they are usually made with bright colors such as red, blue, yellow, and green. They have beautiful designs which make them look very attractive. The Peruvians also make huge hammocks that can be used to sleep up to four people at a time! These big hammocks are called “hamacas” which means “hammock” in Spanish.

SETTING UP A PORTABLE HAMMOCK WHEN CAMPING IS EASY.

It can be set up in a matter of minutes. You just need to find two trees or posts that are strong enough to hold the hammock and some rope. The rope is used to tie the hammock between the trees or posts and can be any type of rope. The hammock is then tied to the rope with a knot called a “bowline” which allows you to adjust the length of the hammock and make it stable as you lay down on it.

Hammocks can also be set up indoors if you have a tall ceiling for example in your living room or bedroom; this will give you more space when you are inside but it might not be very comfortable if there are people walking around on the floor above you.

Hammocks can also be made out of different materials such as nylon, cotton, polyester, silk, and even denim! The most common material used for making hammocks is cotton however because it is very strong and soft at the same time. Cotton hammocks are typically filled with cotton fabric but they can also be filled with foam or feathers depending on your personal preference. When buying a cotton hammock, make sure that it has triple stitching which will make your hammock last longer than usual because triple stitching means that each strand of the thread was stitched three times through all layers of fabric instead of just one time like regular stitching does; this makes your hammock much more durable!
