Crazy Crib not so crazy
By Sean P. Owens
I've had mine for about 11-12 years now. Back then I paid $24 at a local outfitter. I spend probably 3-4 weeks out of every year in the back-country so needless to say I use my favorite pieces of gear often. My Crazy crib still looks like it will handle another decade of use easily. I suppose many of you reading this are here because you may be looking at getting into hammock camping. I'm sure you have looked at some expensive models too. Well let me tell you about this Crazy Crib...It's a very simple design compared to some other hammocks. 16 ounces. Set-up is incredibly simple. 1) Find two trees about 10-15 feet apart. 2) "Slap" the strap around one tree and run the working end through the webbing guide on the other end and about half-way. 3) Repeat step two for the strap on the opposite end. That's it. It usually takes me about 2-3 minutes to set up my hammock and tarp. .If you are new to hammock camping.... You will want to hang this hammock up a little higher and tighter than you think you should. This will account for you body weight and sagging during the night. I'm 6 ft tall and 215 lbs so usually if I position my straps about head high, my rear end is about ~3 feet off the ground. At that height I can sit sideways in the hammock and it makes a great camp chair! The straps have never worn out although they look easy to replace. This Crazy Crib has no bug mesh like the LEX version, but the price reflects this.The hammock is a two layer sandwich that you can put a sleeping pad inside. I bought a $5 reflective sun shade (like for your car)... I cut it to fit a cheap 3/4 length closed cell foam pad and used spray adhesive to bond the two. I put this between the hammock layers during winter months and it works amazing for insulation and lessening the "taco" effect many hammocks display.At home I'm a "side-sleeper" but I can't do that in this hammock too well. Make sure also to hang it level before you go to sleep, otherwise you will slide to one end or the other.Once I'm ready to break camp, I don't have to follow any special procedures to take the hammock down. Just undo the straps, wad it all up and stuff it away. Stuffs tightly to the size of a cantaloupe. Mine has been very durable over the years and probably has well over 1000 trail miles on it by now. If you are looking to try hammock camping, this is a great model at a fair price. Get you a couple different style tarps and a smart sleep system and you can comfortably use this Crazy Crib year round, at least here in the southern Appalachians. See some of my other reviews to check out the tarps I use.Thanks for reading.
