I purchased this little hammock originally as a lightweight, portable hammock to take along on one day mountain bike trips. Works well, sets up super fast, fits neatly in my small handlebar bag and was surprisingly comfortable for me to rest in. I am 5’5” and also have an 11’ double hammock I use for camping. The 11-footer is probably a little bit too big for me so I thought I’d give this 8’ Daylite Hammock a try on a 2-day overnight trip. I added my top quilt and full-size UQ, tarp and bug net. Turns out I was still super comfortable overnight in this little hammock with no problems with calf ridge or shoulder squeeze...slept like a baby! Children and smaller women may find this little hammock a better fit for themselves than a full-size one. Thank you for your review of this DayLite Hammock. I trust your honest and pretty thorough reviews.
I was surprised how much comfort that I got in that small hammock. I took a little nap in it while making that video. If one where take their children backpacking with them. Let alone the weight. But I love the pack-ability of it. you can't beat it. If I had a large family. No problem. Always good to hear from you P Arnold-Mora. Thank you for sharing that.
Nice little hammock, I carried an ENO sub 7 for my backpacking hike on the Appalachian Trail. I'm 5' 2" so it was comfortable for me I even used a Neoair Exlite womens, in it and that worked out well. Not as comfy as my 11' hammocks, but well enough. I might be willing to give it a try. Thanks for the video.
It is a small hammock, but at 5'2", it might just work for you. If you where to get a 3/4 length under quilt and those ultra light suspension. That system would be just over a pound. Thank you for watching Nana. I really appreciate it.
I met Danny this weekend and he showed me one of these. It would be great for lounging on day hikes or in addition to a tent!! Danny told me this story!
I was taught in the Marine Corps. To overcome any obstacle. One must "improvise, adapt and overcome". I love how you improvised. Thank you Poppy321 for sharing that. Good stuff!
I get why UL hikers might like something so light, I guess. I'm not, but now I know. Thanks to you and Danny, now we know if it would suit our individual needs or not. 👍 Thanks and Semper Fi!
Great to see new ideas and innovations. I’m probably not one to use that size hammock but it sure got me to go and look at the full size on the web page. Thanks for the review. Great to see more and more cottage vendors pushing the envelope.
This seems like a really good option for me as a bring along for when I'm toting my "escape rope" a jungle knot rope I use to climb down and up steep inclines
Looks like Danny has a 10ft model of that now, could you demo that sometime? Thanks, the concept of a convenient day-hiking hammock is still a great idea and a better alternative to hammock chairs.
I did not know that. That might be a great option for an ultra light hiker. My next review will be on his Superior Hammock with the integrated under quilt. He has really come a long way now since I tested his equipment 5 or six years ago. Just got back from the BWCA. Used his hammock and tarp. I have to say I am really impressed. Thank you for watching. Scott.
Wow! That’s great. Too small for me and my comfort requirements, but makes me want to make another slightly smaller, far more packable hammock than my current behemoth.
This is more of a specialty hammock. I would never take this on a trip. Just for a quick nap at a park or on a day hike. I believe that one should always get a hammock that fits them. There is nothing like sleeping overnight in the great outdoors. Thank you for watching Johnathan. I really appreciate it.
The Daylight looks like a greate "pocket hammock" for fun days at the park but also for "Well, I'm stuck in the woods and want something okay to sleep on/in"
I prefer an under quilt. The best under quilt for someone starting out is a built in under quilt. Superior Gear just came out with one that has a synthetic built in UQ. Have the price. But heavier than down and much more bulky if you are backpacking. If you are into back packing. I prefer a 3/4 length UQ. But you have to adjust them every time you get in and out. Then you have the full length UQ. Not a lot of adjusting. But heavier and bulkier than the 3/4 length. I recommend Hammock Gear Under Quilts. Lately they have had some great sales. I have bought three this past year.
What hammock do you recommend for someone that is 6"4 , I'm also looking for a insulation compartment it's hard to tell if hammocks online have them or not. Thanks a lot. Edit: I've now seen your dutchware video can't wait to order and try out this bad boy
The insulation compartment would be a double layer hammock. For your height. I would get the Dutchware Gear wide 11ft netless. If you do not need a bug net. And if you do. I would look into the Dream Hammock Darien Or Sparrow. They custom make hammocks to fit you. You would want a 11ft. and the width around 70 in. Dutchware also has the Chameleon. But again, if you need that insulation compartment. Make sure you get a double layer. Thank you for watching MrReedTea.
Well…at 6’5” definitely not for me, but that whoopie sling interests me especially since you don’t even need carabiners or a toggle. Any thoughts on it vs. the Superior suspension?. I saw your video comparing between both types, but not specifically this one. I currently own the Superior suspension and a friend has Helios slings, and bought me it, but I think just by the looks of it Superior looks better with the less hardware needed.
It is one of the lightest suspension. And very strong. And also very packable. At 6'5". You would want a 12 ft. hammock. Nothing less than 11ft. With that Superior suspension. You would have a great setup. Thank you for watching MrBalas3. I really appreciate it.
Hummingbird Hammock Single hammock is 8.5 feet and 5.2 oz. Just long enough for me, at 5'10". I use it for long section hikes on the AT. I pull a zipperless sleeping bag with a foot baffle over it and go to sleep (actually, I pull the hammock through the bag). Hummingbird make a very light bug net with a vertical zipper (lets in fewer mosquitoes), and a whoopie sling suspension which is under 3 oz. I couldn't sleep in an 8 foot hammock, so that one wouldn't work for me. To get the sleeping bag to snug up to my backside, I adjust the angle of my diagonal lay until it does. Works for me, but not for everyone. I can vouch for the Hummingbird Hammock quality, but the tree strap webbing is thin and tends to fold on itself, requiring some attention when wrapping it around the tree.
I would believe that the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC double layer would work great for you. It has a built in self to store things in the hammock that I absolutely love. Other wise Dream Hammock Darien Or the Dutchware Gear 11ft wide 1.7 NylonD ( rating of 350lbs. A double fabric would have a weight rating up to 500lbs. ) Netless Hammock. Then buy there portable bug net. Would be the cheapest option for a great hammock that would fit you.
I have a small, modified, netting hammock for day hikes. I rarely use it (don't need to) but when I do : it's heaven 🤤. Weight is very important, but also speed, and ofcourse price. If it cost 30-40$ I'd buy it
I thought about doing one. I didn't know if anyone would be interested.So i will do one sone. Thank you for letting me know and also for watching xtra gaming. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Maybe they are worth it...I don't know?! The 4 ounce hammock is just too small for me as I am 6.3 and 225 pounds. I checked and they do have a Classic Hammock also around $100.00, but available in a 10.25 foot length, and wide width, add $15.00 for an 11 foot length, plus $25.00 for the suspension, and another $40.00 for the Insect Shield treatment, which makes a lot of sense, like wearing Insect Shield clothing. So an eleven foot hammock, suspension, and Insect Shield treatment would run about $180.00. Back in April I went hammocking without a bug net, and no insect repellent, and the night time temperatures were in the upper 60s, and just warm enough for the mosquitoes to buzz me all night. Luckily I was wearing an Insect Shield Shirt, but did not have my Insect Shield Boonie Hat, and my long pants and sock were not treated. I actually put on my jacket, and covered my head with the hood to try and stop the buzzing. End result the mosquitoes bit me on my feet and pants through my socks mainly. The Insect Shield on the hammock probably would have helped immensely, and it would kill any ticks that might have latched onto me, or my clothing. I am OK paying the $180.00 for something that is high quality, feature filled, light, and that lasts many years.
@@msilverhammer You will need a 11ft. hammock with a bug net. You would want a width of at lest 65 in. or wider.I believe that a hammock that would work great for you is the Dream Hammock Darien. ( www.dreamhammock.com ) Great hammock. Great price.
It is also a great hammock to keep in your glove box in the car. You maybe somewhere. Where yo can sneak off and take a little snooze. Thank you for watching Supernoob Smith. I really appreciate it.
I’ll take a couple more ounces with another hammock for WAY more comfort. There is a ton of hammocks out there a little longer and a little wider. I’ve tried the smaller ones and they just aren’t comfortable at all. My 2 cents
This is not a hammock for camping. It is design for pack-ability and very light weight for storage. ( in a glove box, purse, small pack or even you pocket ). It is great to take a quick nap, on a day hike. Or to pullover the car at a spot with an amazing view and with a nice breeze, to kick back in. Or to pull it out of your pocket to hang at a park for a short time. But that is it. But if you are looking for an all around hammock. Then one should buy a hammock the fits them. You are right zootycoon246. Most hammocks on the market. Are made way too small ( too shot and too narrow ) They try to promote that one size fits all. But that is not true. There are only a few companies that will fit a hammock to your size. That is why a lot of people are finding it hard to hammock camp. Their hammock is way to small to be comfortable to sleep in through out the night. Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.
I think this hammock may work well for women. I am 5'6" and use my full-size hammock for day hiking, bike touring and occasionally in a park just to kick back and read. This new hammock may be something I could store into a daypack along with snacks, beverage, book, jacket and toss in the car when I feel the need to do a quick get-away. It may end out being comfortable enough for me to use on a multi-day bike tour where pack size is limited . Thank you Marine, for the info and thank you Danny for this new product!
Well said P Arnold-Mora. Danny just made me a hammock out of the same material that is 11ft. But 66 inches wide ( the average width is 58 inches ) that weighs under 9 ounces ( 250 grams ). Danny knows that I prefer a wide hammock. I am willing to sacrifice a ounce or two ( grams ) for comfort. A 11ft. hammock at 58in with this material. I would believe would weigh a little over 7 oz. Around 212 grams. But I have yet to test it. Thank you guys for watching.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine I hope you let us know how your new hammock works out for you. I just placed my order in today. Forgot to thank you and Danny for the discount as well.
I think a good hammock company needs to invest in ACME, and sell instant trees, those kind that come in pill form and you just add water. Wile E. Coyote probably used them.
Expensive for what it is, but for a Bug Out/Transit or Get Home/72 Hour Bag, or as a day hiker's "just in case"/emergency piece of kit, it could be useful.
n a nutshell: if you are SMALL or are counting grams in your pack, this is the hammock for you. if you are a backpacker or you are LARGE... your princess is in another castle.
1:30 -NOPE, not even going to waste my time on this commercial. WHY don't you just say "this is a sponsored ad" at the beginning? You made it out like you were really reviewing something. Then the owner of the company is on your video. PLEASE... dont pull this shit with us.
Good view good review marine… Absolutely no interest in that this ultralight backpacking thing… I’m a man I’m 60 and still benchpress 225 pounds I can handle a little heavy back
Good to see that you are still lifting weights. If you want to keep doing these outdoor activities into your 80's. I believe that lifting weights will get you there. I don't know if you ever heard the name Warren Tetting. He made and designed weightlifting equipment since the 60's. Magazines like Ironman and others would buy from him and sell through their publication. Three years, this October, he passed away. He was one of my best friend. We would meet every other Saturday for breakfast in the morning and afterwards we would go somewhere to just talk. My favorite was sitting on the bank of the Mississippi River. During the warmer weather, with a good cigar. I learned so much from him. But he would say from his mistakes. People from are the United Statas would call him all the time for advise on weight lifting. ( he also judge in power lifting competition for many years) If he was still alive. He would tell you Rod that the most important thing you can do is Squats. It works so many muscles and give you an foundation to build on. He would say: " you don't walk on your hands ( arms ) but your legs". A week before he died. He told me that he could no longer do squats anymore. And that it was over. He was 87 years old. Sorry for rambling on like that. It is just I miss the guy very much. Thank you Rod so much for watching. I really appreciate it.
For sleeping over night. Small kids. But it is great to take on a day hike. Or when I am fly fishing all day. After lunch on the stream. I will set it up and take a quick snooze. Thank you RebellisSpiritus for watching.
I would never bring this hammock on a trip unless I was bringing my grandchildren to use. I believe hammocks are like clothing. Always use one that fits you. Thank you for watching Greg.
If you are not interested in a hammock that is very light weight ( Ultra light ) and the packing size. Always get a hammock that fits you. My favorite hammock is the wide 11ft. netless. Thank you for watching Eric.
Thank you for the videos. I am 51 and just got into hammocks a few years ago. Now, I have 3 posts sticking out of the ground in my back yard for hammocks. And, I have a nice double hammock by FIELD AND STREAM, 30.00 hanging in my bedroom! I have a bad back and I love it! Lol, it's like COWBELL, I can't get enough of it!

Great review. Would love an updated review of a larger “thru hike” hammock. Taking off for the AT in Oct. for a winter thu hike attempt
I was taught in the Marine Corps. To overcome any obstacle. One must "improvise, adapt and overcome". I love how you improvised. Thank you Poppy321 for sharing that. Good stuff!

My ultra light days are over Grumpy Grunt. I like a good balance of comfort. Thank you for watching sir.

I am with you OldPackMule. I just love seeing the cottage industry improving and innovating.
This seems like a really good option for me as a bring along for when I'm toting my "escape rope" a jungle knot rope I use to climb down and up steep inclines
The size is so packable. Thank you claymore steel for watching. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine it certainly looks it. I'm curious to see what the 10foot one is like

Danny is such a great guy. Thank you for watching Livin'Large. I really appreciate it.
It's very cool. I think it's pretty good for a small person and children definitely.
I could nap in it. But not more than a couple of hours at most. Thank you sevenEL Lomas for watching.

Could you please recommend what's best a sleeping pad or a under quilt for cold weather camping? And could you please recommend model and brand?

Make a paracord belt out of jungle cords and sew a belt loop on the hammocks stuffsack, nobody'd know you had sleep kit on you...
Thank you Old Navajo Tricks for sharing that. Good stuff!
This is perfect for me, I’m 5’11” but sleep on my side and bunched up! Every hammock I have feels unnecessary large for me
Thank you Erictanczos for watching. I really appreciate it.

Hudson Wisconsin. Winona is also beautiful. I have done a lot of fly fishing in the White Water area over the years.
That looks perfect for my kids.
It would be great for children. Especially when you have to carry their gear. Thank you for watching Bradley.
How would you set up a hammock for a big guy 6' 1" 350lb guy, and which one, with a bug net. Basically for over weekend fishing trips.
I would believe that the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC double layer would work great for you. It has a built in self to store things in the hammock that I absolutely love. Other wise Dream Hammock Darien Or the Dutchware Gear 11ft wide 1.7 NylonD ( rating of 350lbs. A double fabric would have a weight rating up to 500lbs. ) Netless Hammock.

So the hammock comes with the straps or you have to buy those separately. Sorry if u said this and I missed it.
No, the straps are sold separate. Thank you for watching William. I always appreciate it.
This is the point I am thankful for my short length. I would probably have no problems sleeping in that hammock even diagonally.

Im not sure about using a beefy underquilt on a 4 ounce hammock 😅
Only for a nap. Unless it is used for a child. Thank you for watching Anel Perez. I really appreciate it.
Wow...$100 for this 4 ounce hammock with the suspension!
The other Superior hammocks are very expensive also!
Thank you for sharing that. I am sure he is looking for feed back.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Maybe they are worth it...I don't know?!
The 4 ounce hammock is just too small for me as I am 6.3 and 225 pounds.
I checked and they do have a Classic Hammock also around $100.00, but available in a 10.25 foot length, and wide width, add $15.00 for an 11 foot length, plus $25.00 for the suspension, and another $40.00 for the Insect Shield treatment, which makes a lot of sense, like wearing Insect Shield clothing.

Yup, definitely a kids' hammock. Might be good to introduce them to backpacking.
It is a tiny hammock Poppy321. Not for an adult to sleep in. Thank you for watching sir. I really appreciate it.
I wonder if they have a ten or eleven foo long hammock that weighs a few ounces more?
I think this hammock may work well for women. I am 5'6" and use my full-size hammock for day hiking, bike touring and occasionally in a park just to kick back and read.

A ¼ of an ounce is seven grams....unless your ounces are bigger than ours
Thanks for that tip Dave. That will come in handy.
Cool and light weight but just not enough room ,
If you are going to have one hammock for all around. Especially if you are going to sleep in it. Always get a hammock that fits you.
nice little hammock ,, good video my friend
Thank you sir.
This is the lightest chair in the world not a hammock:) why not just make it bigger it should still pack up small
Expensive for what it is, but for a Bug Out/Transit or Get Home/72 Hour Bag, or as a day hiker's "just in case"/emergency piece of kit, it could be useful.

1:30 -NOPE, not even going to waste my time on this commercial. WHY don't you just say "this is a sponsored ad" at the beginning? You made it out like you were really reviewing something. Then the owner of the company is on your video. PLEASE... dont pull this shit with us.
I don’t consider an 8 ft hammock a real hammock
I would not recommend anything under 10 ft. for overnight of sleeping. Thank you Greg for watching. I really appreciate it.
Good view good review marine… Absolutely no interest in that this ultralight backpacking thing… I’m a man I’m 60 and still benchpress 225 pounds I can handle a little heavy back
Good to see that you are still lifting weights. If you want to keep doing these outdoor activities into your 80's. I believe that lifting weights will get you there. I don't know if you ever heard the name Warren Tetting. He made and designed weightlifting equipment since the 60's. Magazines like Ironman and others would buy from him and sell through their publication. Three years, this October, he passed away. He was one of my best friend. We would meet every other Saturday for breakfast in the morning and afterwards we would go somewhere to just talk. My favorite was sitting on the bank of the Mississippi River. During the warmer weather, with a good cigar. I learned so much from him. But he would say from his mistakes. People from are the United Statas would call him all the time for advise on weight lifting. ( he also judge in power lifting competition for many years) If he was still alive. He would tell you Rod that the most important thing you can do is Squats. It works so many muscles and give you an foundation to build on. He would say: " you don't walk on your hands ( arms ) but your legs". A week before he died. He told me that he could no longer do squats anymore. And that it was over. He was 87 years old. Sorry for rambling on like that. It is just I miss the guy very much. Thank you Rod so much for watching. I really appreciate it.
Only for kids
For sleeping over night. Small kids. But it is great to take on a day hike. Or when I am fly fishing all day. After lunch on the stream. I will set it up and take a quick snooze. Thank you RebellisSpiritus for watching.
9 grams, that's a FAT hammock.
I'll take 2 please.
Way to short and narrow. More of a kids hammock
I would never bring this hammock on a trip unless I was bringing my grandchildren to use. I believe hammocks are like clothing. Always use one that fits you. Thank you for watching Greg.
Wow my coffee bag is bigger and weighs more!
It is amazing how small that hammocks packs down to. Thank you for watching Spiro Dotgeek. I really appreciate it.
Thats one silly hammock..i'll stick with my dutchware.
If you are not interested in a hammock that is very light weight ( Ultra light ) and the packing size. Always get a hammock that fits you. My favorite hammock is the wide 11ft. netless. Thank you for watching Eric.
Too small to be practical.
It depends on what you are going to use it for. It is not a hammock for backpacking. Thank you for watching Joe.
Lol! Too small for a kid!
Not for this kid. Well maybe.
Thank you for watching Micheal Horn.
Ya, it looked real small, or you could be a giant! Lol! Great video!
Thank you for the videos. I am 51 and just got into hammocks a few years ago. Now, I have 3 posts sticking out of the ground in my back yard for hammocks. And, I have a nice double hammock by FIELD AND STREAM, 30.00 hanging in my bedroom! I have a bad back and I love it! Lol, it's like COWBELL, I can't get enough of it!
