Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

Whether your plans this summer include lounging on a white-sand beach or pointing out constellations at your favorite camp site, they should include the Kelsyus Portable Hammock. I just picked one of these up and I'm quite impressed. The hammock comes neatly-packaged in a carrying bag and  portability appears to be a strong point. There's no installation required; simply pull the frame out of the bag, unfold it and hang the canvas hammock onto the two hooks. No need to stake it out and tie the perfect knot, you'll be relaxing in seconds. And isn't that how it should be? Great for car camping or an afternoon nap in the backyard. The Kelsyus Portable Hammock is available starting around $110 at Amazon and also comes in an Extra Large version.
