A basic guide that will help you avoid common mistakes when setting up your hammock and prepare you for a good night of sleep.

Traditional hammocks have that distinctive banana shape. Personally, I can’t stand being bent like a banana, and it makes sleeping on your stomach completely impossible. Imagine raising both ends of your mattress to mimic the traditional hammock shape. Again, you might be able to sleep on your back or side… but never on your stomach!

Let’s check this blog for some of the do’s and don’t of campaigning in the bear country. Continue reading to more about it and have a safe experience!

The secret behind the Haven Tent is revealed! Find out how the Haven Tent leaves you wondering how you weren’t sleeping in your bed the previous night.

Introducing Haven Safari. Now Live on Kickstarter!  Since launching the original Haven Tent on Kickstarter in 2019, we’ve been hard at work adapting our design. Year two saw the introduction of Haven XL. Now in year three, we're at it again. Haven Safari was designed to be the ultimate glamping basecamp, car-camping rig, or backyard lounge hammock. I was in Hawaii last spring, paddle boarding along the coast.

Whoopie slings are my single favorite Haven Tents™ accessory. They weigh next to nothing and give you much more flexibility in choosing your site to hang.

Condensation is something that happens in every tent… If you’re breathing in a small space for a long time, that 1 liter of water that you exhale during a typical night has to go somewhere. 

While scanning a Norwegian Facebook group, Geir stumbled onto our Kickstarter campaign. He was intrigued by the design and hoped our tent would address the two biggest issues he experienced from hammock camping. The banana problem, and the cold-butt syndrome.
