- Hello lovely people!!!
Blimey this video has been a long time in the making thanks to my flipping Sciatica!
So @OnewindOutdoors have been incredibly patient with me, waiting for my thoughts on this hammock. I was asked to give them some honest feedback on this product which is exactly what I have done.
I know some people think that once someone is working with a company that we will always lie about products and say they are good even if they are not....
Hopefully from this video you will see that I give my honest opinion and hopefully helpful feedback to Onewind on what works and what doesn't. What I love about working with Onewind is that they want this feedback, they want to know when something doesn't work and why and will use it to improve future models.
If you are interested in checking out this product then please use my affiliate links below and I will make a little bit of commission from each sale made. You can also use my discount code of KARENSGONEWILD for a 5% discount.

I hope you enjoy this little look at this hammock and if you have any suggestions for me on how to make this work I would love to hear them in the comments! Like I said in the video I am well aware that I am far from being an expert so some of the issues I experienced may be due to my own lack of knowledge.
Thanks again to everyone at Onewind for sticking with me while I have been unable to produce content but hopefully I am starting to get back to being able to do at least some videos now.
Lots of love
Karen 💕🦄

Thank you for your honest review Karen such a delightful soul bless
@@Stacity haha thank you so much for watching! 🥰
❤Enjoy your lovely weekend guys and gals!!!😊
@@tom-ehill2713 thank you lovely you too!! 🥰
Laughed at Kent survivals Andy,, his hammock tent thingy hanging from a tree limb, over a incline.. his first roost attempt, he fell into the thing and let out a hilarious belly laugh. As the thing gobbled him up!😅😅😅😅
Haha! I’ve not seen that one will have to have to a look! Love Andy 🥰🥰
I must say you got into your hammock very elegantly!! 😁
Haha why thank you! 😂🤣😂
I’ve not tried a hammock camp yet I don’t know how I’m going to manage it 😂 I’m sure it will be eventful after seeing this video x
@@Lilmissimaffitbackonit if you get the right hammock I think you’ll love it! Get someone to stop it swinging though 🤢😂🤣😂🤣
@@ksgonewild I was given one for free but I might invest in a decent one and use the free one for one of the kids 🤣😂
@@Lilmissimaffitbackonit haha not a bad idea! I can highly recommend my OneWind one and I’ve got a discount code too. I know others love the DD ones. Xx
Good wee review hahahah looks like a good hammock for chilling out in the garden, the open end would cause to much of a draft surely ???, thanks for sharing pal. Atb Wullie
@@wulliescottishoutdoors aah cheers for watching lovely!! Yes I’m just not convinced on this one, too many issues it definitely feels like a work in progress lol! Xx
@@ksgonewild no problem at all pal, it definitely looks like a work in progress lol. Atb Wullie
The one that I really like is anymaka so easy living chillax
@@Stacity I absolutely love my zippered Onewind hammock it’s just brilliant!
Great video, I’m still not sold on hammocking though 😂 ❤
My other OneWind hammock
I would very highly recommend. I thought I’d hate it and that it would kill my back but it’s the best sleep I’ve ever had camping! 🥰
@@ksgonewild I’ll try it one day 😊 I’m not sure the hammock would like it 😂 xx
@@bexm-a8293 don’t be silly you’d be absolutely fine!!! 😂🤣🥰
@@ksgonewild we will see 😂 🥰 xxx
i love mine, i find it very comfy i also use different straps. and i raise the head end more than i would with a standard hammock.And i shortened the foot end rope. i hadno issue with the bug net, it was easy to fit and it worked.
Ahhhhh see! Right, when we come to Scotland you need to use it and show me where on earth was going wrong lol! 😂
I have the same hammock and I get on ok with it. Only real downside I have found is its a bugger to fit the underblanket. So I just use this one in the summer.
Oh really? Honestly I’d love to understand how you’re meant to set up, I even see n struggled with the strap around smaller trees, it’s like they have to be the perfect girth (lol!) I just don’t get it lol! I’m glad you like it though! 🥰
@@ksgonewild Standard straps are too small, I use my normal hammock ones. I also find that I have to hang the foot end higher than I normally would, otherwise I wake up in a ball in the middle of the hammock.
Hi Karen! Doesn't look that easy for pitching and using😂, but finally you made a good job👌! I think the other one (wind😉) is better by far. Thanks for reviewing and as always all the very best from Austria 🤠👍🏕🔥
@@outdoor-suedost awww thank you Bernie! Yes the other one is waaaay better 😂🤣😂
I am not a hammock aficionado, but have used and slept well in a NightCat Lay Flat hammock, also a "bridge" hammock...easy to set up with the added bonus of being a excellent bivvy tent too.....
Oh really?! I would love to have made it work but just couldn’t despite numerous attempts! Wish I knew where I was going wrong as it frustrates me it beat me lol! 😂
@@ksgonewild Which one the NightCat or the OneWind? Or both🤨!!
The OneWind, I’ve not tried the Night at one. Xx
Thanks for an honest review... the best kind really. I was wondering if you have to 'thread' the hammock in at the ends of the bug netting... but I couldn't tell if there was a zipper - e.g. you mentioned not understanding how you then get in and out of it. Am also a big NO to the bugs - so that bit is quite important to us bug averse... I do have a hammock that I love - and the bug net is attached, then zipper at the side for entry... Thanks for sharing - Love your work Cheers.
Thank you so much, I’m hoping Onewind appreciate my honesty lol! 😬
There was no zip on the bug net at all and no clear place to thread anything in…. The whole thing left me confused lol! Xx
That hammock is pants! I'm more interested in Jasons neck knife.. what is it? Where did he get it?
I thank you
Hmmmm, not sure I’ll ask him! 😂🤣
And defo stick to your other OneWind one which is brilliant! 🤩
@@BurtonOutdoors it is this one from the incredible Willslock Forge…

The head end (lol) looked like it needed to be even higher up the tree... or at least notably higher than the footend... yh looks a bit of a pain tbf... cheers Karen 😎👍
Honestly, I should have shown it, that was set up way above head height! Just doesn’t work for me! Thanks for watching lovely xx
Ive always been concerned that with back problems it wouldn't have the support needed and I'm a side sleeper as well...good video Karen.
Hey Renee!! I hope you’re well! I have back problems and hip issues and a hammock is the most comfortable sleep I’ve ever had camping, honestly… and I’m a side sleeper too. If you tried one like my other OneWind hammock you might just love it! 🥰
Thank you for watching lovely xx
@@ksgonewild ok I will give it a try..Thank you for the help and advice...
Any time! Sorry for the slow response! Xx
@@ksgonewild never worry about that..
@@Solosouls06 thank you 🥰🥰
Good review Karen.
Hammocks are not for me though.
You were brave in your pink skirt, careful though you nearly did a Sharon Stone😁
Good video again👋❤️
Haha I know it was a bit risky 😂🤣😂🤣 thank you for watching! 😜😂🤣😂
Admiring your honesty, Karen. Admiring your hubby as much for helping you with the ins and outs of set up 👋🏼😉👍🏼
Haha yes no way I could have got up without help! 😂🤣😂
Hopefully this will prove to any doubters that I am honest in my reviews! Hopefully OneWind appreciate it too!
Jolly splendid transmission! Thanks for flashing the troops your product on the wireless 😅 morale is high.
😂🤣😂🤣😂 it was a close call, Jason said leave it in…. Hope it tickled your fancy! 😜🤣😂🤣
This is the funniest thing I have seen all day. Well done Karen!! Am in stitches you should be on stage
@@rogerhowis well I’m glad you enjoyed it lol! Thank you for watching! 🥰
@@ksgonewild love your videos x x
Great to see another good video out. :) Was hoping you'd found the solution to getting it up, but... Seems like ages ago when we were in the woods with you first taking a look at it.
I know right?! And it was, it was back in February as it was just as my sciatica was starting. Not like me to struggle with getting it up but I guess we all have our off days 😂🤣😂
@@ksgonewild February. No! Really? Good grief. Where did that time go?!
@@clairesoutdoorodyssey I know! Yep, the first bit of filming was Feb 😂🤣
Nice to see you nice with your friend claire camping again long you enjoyed your self that's the main thing but stay safe and stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
Awww thanks lovely! 🥰
Nice try but it’s defo not perfect, ditch half the cordage and use the original straps with cinch buckles both ends
Tension on the fabric at the head end is way too much not sure how long that will last 🤷♂️ mk 2 ?
@@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301 definitely needs a rethink for sure. I’m hoping they take this on board and look at it again. 🥰
I tried hammock camping. I don’t get on with it, I can’t get comfortable. It’s not normal for a human to sleep hanging in trees. A platform in a tree, fine, but to be lead bent like a banana? Show me in nature, where that is natural.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
I was extremely dubious and expected to hate sleeping in a hammock and for it to hurt my back…… I absolutely love it and it’s the best nights sleep I ever have camping! My other OneWind hammock is absolutely awesome and you can sleep almost diagonally in so you’re basically flat. I love it! This one? Me no likey! 😂🤣😂🤣
@@ksgonewild Do you move around a lot in your sleep? I do. It’s a survival instinct.
@@Soggz7785 only from one side to the other when my hips start hurting 😂🤣
@@ksgonewild you use an air mattress in your hammock?
@@Soggz7785 I’ve never tried an air mat in my hammock. I just wake to turn all the time anyway 😂
I'll be honest, I just don't see the point in this hammock. It's like trying to reinvent the wheel. DD travel hammock, one wind normal hammock and those Amok ones are all you need in a hammock. This one feels a bit prototypey to me, like half an idea that had been rolled out. But what I did learn is next time I'm in the woods setting up one, I'll dig out my mini skirt 🤣
Yep I absolutely think you should! Sooooo practical! 😂🤣😂
Dear Points Of View,
I was very disappointed in this video. I was only watching for the eyeful in the pink skirt and didn't even get a flash.
3/10 - Must try harder.
😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 now there’s a blast from the past! 😂🤣😂
@@minerwilly 😂 😝
It's not your fault.
That's the worst hammock design I've ever seen.
Have a look at DD Hammocks, Frontline with built in bug net
also see "Tree Hugger" (straps) and whoopie slings (adjustable method of attaching the hammock to the tree hugger straps.)
Thank you lovely, my other Onewind hammock is just awesome, they need to stick with that one lol! Thanks for the advice! Xx
