Hammocks for Outdoor & Camping
Snugpak, Grand Canyon & co. – from jungle setup to camping hammock

Q: Which hammock is right for beginners?

The Grand Canyon Bass is our beginner's tip: uncomplicated setup, rugged fabric and a comfortable lie at a fair price. If you spend your summers mainly by the water, go straight for the Bass Mosquito with mosquito net. And if you first want to test cheaply whether hammock lounging is for you, start with the Fosco mini hammock.

Q: Snugpak or Grand Canyon – which brand suits me?

Snugpak is the choice for sleeping outside: tactical Jungle and Tropical hammocks plus a complete, matched insulation system (Under Blanket, Cocoon, Quilt). Grand Canyon is the choice for comfort and leisure: the Bass series for garden, lake and campsite – also as a double for two. Rule of thumb: sleeping outside → Snugpak, relaxing → Grand Canyon.

Q: What is an under blanket – and why not a normal blanket?

An under blanket hangs outside under the hammock and forms a lofty, uninterrupted insulation layer there. A blanket inside the hammock, on the other hand, is compressed flat by your body weight – just like the sleeping bag – and loses its warming effect exactly where you need it. The Snugpak Under Blanket is matched to the Jungle and Tropical models and turns the hammock into a three-season sleeping place.

Tactical jungle hammocks from Snugpak, comfortable camping models from the Grand Canyon Bass series, plus mosquito-net variants, under blankets and tarps for the complete setup – the lightest way to sleep outside. From an evening by the lake to a bushcraft night in the woods. Shipped from our Swiss warehouse, with personal advice.

Hammocks – light, flexible, at home anywhere

A hammock is the lightest way to sleep outside: no flat ground needed, no poles, set up in minutes – two trees are enough. From an evening by the river to a weekend at a mountain lake or a bushcraft night in the woods, the hammock shines exactly where tents reach their limits. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find hammocks from Snugpak, the British specialist for tactical Outdoor equipment, and Grand Canyon with the comfortable Bass series – completed by Fosco, BCB and the Nordisk tarp for weather protection.

What do you want to experience? Use cases at a glance

The right hammock depends on how you want to use it. Here are the most important use cases:

Bushcraft and sleeping in the woods

For a night outdoors, the Snugpak Jungle Hammock is the benchmark: integrated mosquito net, rugged fast-drying fabric and a tactically designed setup that grows into a fully-fledged sleeping place with under blanket and tarp. Important for any overnight stay: insulation from below – more on that below.

Trekking and ultralight

When every gram counts, go for the Snugpak Tropical – light, compact and fast-drying – or the Fosco heavy-duty mini hammock, which takes up hardly any space in your pack. Both are pitched in minutes and also serve as an emergency sleeping option on multi-day tours.

Camping, garden and lake

For relaxed hours, the Grand Canyon Bass is the classic: simple setup, comfortable lie and rugged fabric. For two, choose the extra-wide Bass Double. Both are as much fun in the garden as at the swimming spot or campsite.

Summer nights without mosquito bites

By lakes and rivers, mosquitoes arrive quickly on warm summer evenings. The Grand Canyon Bass Mosquito and the Fosco Jungle Hammock bring the mosquito net with them – stretched over the lying area, you sleep protected and still enjoy a clear view into the treetops.

The all-season setup for advanced users

If you sleep in your hammock regularly, build a system: Snugpak Under Blanket against the cold from below, Cocoon sleep system or Quilt as the top layer and the Nordisk Voss Tech Tarp as a weather roof above. This turns the hammock into a fully-fledged sleeping place for three to four seasons.

Beginners and children

For getting started, a Grand Canyon Bass or the affordable Fosco mini is all you need: hang it up, try it out, get hooked. For children: hang the hammock low (seat height), choose soft ground underneath and supervise. As a storage net at the family camp, the BCB gear hammock does a fine job.

Our recommendation: For starters the Grand Canyon Bass, with mosquitoes around the Bass Mosquito. If you sleep outside, choose the Snugpak Jungle and add the Under Blanket and a tarp – the complete system for safe, warm nights.

Snugpak, Grand Canyon & co. – the brands in our range

If you want a reliable setup for real overnight stays, Snugpak is your brand.

Grand Canyon – comfortable camping hammocks

The Bass series from Grand Canyon stands for uncomplicated hammock comfort: rugged fabrics, comfortable lying surfaces and a fair price-performance ratio. Whether as a single, as the extra-wide Double for two or as the Mosquito with integrated insect protection – the Bass is the right choice for camping, garden and swimming spot.

Fosco, BCB & Nordisk – completing the range

BCB International, the British survival specialist, contributes the practical gear hammock.

Insulation and weather protection – the accessory system

In a hammock, the cold comes from below: your sleeping bag is compressed under your body and loses its insulating power exactly there. That is why every overnight setup needs an insulation layer under the hammock – and a roof above it:

Product	Function	Best for
Snugpak Under Blanket	Insulating blanket under the hammock	Cool nights, 3 seasons
Snugpak Cocoon	All-round sleep system	All-season setup
Snugpak Quilt	Light blanket as top layer	Summer, flexible add-on
Nordisk Voss Tech Tarp	Weather roof over the setup	Rain, wind, dew

You will find more weather roofs and shelters in the category Tarps & Shelters, and matching sleeping bags under Sleeping Bags.

Hanging it safely – the most important rules

A hammock is pitched quickly – and with these five rules, safely too:

Choose solid anchor points: Use two healthy, sufficiently thick trees or firmly anchored points. Wide, tree-friendly straps spread the load and protect the bark. You will find fixing material under Tent Anchoring.
Tension correctly: The suspension should hang at a relaxed angle of around 30 degrees – not bowstring-tight. You lie flatter and the suspension points are protected.
Keep seat height: The lying surface belongs at about chair height above the ground – low enough to get in and out safely, high enough not to touch down at night.
Respect the load limit: Observe the manufacturer's maximum load – lie in it as a pair only in models designed for it, like the Bass Double.
Check before every use: Briefly inspect suspension, carabiners, seams and straps – especially after longer storage.

Maintenance and care of your hammock

With little effort, your hammock stays ready for many seasons. Three care rules:

Store dry only: After rain or dew, let the hammock dry completely before it goes into the stuff sack – this prevents mildew and mould.
Clean gently: Rinse dirt out with lukewarm water and mild soap, air dry. No aggressive cleaners – they attack coating and impregnation.
Check net and seams: Inspect the mosquito net for small holes and patch them early, keep zips clean and regularly check the suspension points for abrasion.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about hammocks

Which hammock is right for beginners?

The Grand Canyon Bass is our beginner's tip: uncomplicated setup, rugged fabric and a comfortable lie at a fair price. If you spend your summers mainly by the water, go straight for the Bass Mosquito with mosquito net. And if you first want to test cheaply whether hammock lounging is for you, start with the Fosco mini hammock.

Do I need a hammock with a mosquito net?

Not for the afternoon nap in the garden – almost always for sleeping outside. By lakes, rivers and near woods, mosquitoes are very active in the warm season. Models like the Snugpak Jungle, the Fosco Jungle or the Grand Canyon Bass Mosquito have the net firmly integrated – it stretches over the lying area and can be folded aside when not needed.

How do I stay warm in a hammock?

In a hammock the cold comes from below: your sleeping bag is compressed flat under your body and barely insulates there. The solution is an under blanket that hangs outside under the hammock and forms an uninterrupted insulation layer – or a sleeping mat inside the hammock as the simpler variant (matching models under Sleeping Mats). On top, a quilt or sleeping bag provides warmth from above.

Am I allowed to sleep outside in a hammock in Switzerland?

Free access to the forest is generally allowed in Switzerland – but for overnight stays and bivouacking, the rules differ by canton, municipality and protected area. In nature reserves, wildlife rest zones and on private land, overnight stays are not permitted without authorisation. Our recommendation: check with the municipality in advance, use tree-friendly straps, leave no trace and respect wildlife – then a night in the woods is usually no problem.

Snugpak or Grand Canyon – which brand suits me?

Snugpak is the choice for sleeping outside: tactical Jungle and Tropical hammocks plus a complete, matched insulation system (Under Blanket, Cocoon, Quilt). Grand Canyon is the choice for comfort and leisure: the Bass series for garden, lake and campsite – also as a double for two. Rule of thumb: sleeping outside → Snugpak, relaxing → Grand Canyon.

How do I hang my hammock correctly?

Choose two solid anchor points (healthy trees, wide tree-friendly straps), tension the suspension at a relaxed angle of around 30 degrees and bring the lying surface to seat height. If you lie diagonally in the hammock, you sleep noticeably flatter and more ergonomically. Carabiners, ropes and fixing material are in the category Tent Anchoring.

Are hammocks suitable for children?

Yes – with simple precautions: hang the hammock low (seat height at most), make sure the ground underneath is soft and do not leave smaller children lying unsupervised. Help with getting in and out until the movement is familiar. For families, the Bass Double proves itself: enough space to lie together and stable enough for daily use.

How do I care for my hammock?

Three rules are enough: First, store it dry only – let it dry completely after rain or dew, otherwise mildew threatens. Second, rinse dirt out with lukewarm water and mild soap and air dry; no aggressive cleaners. Third, regularly check the mosquito net, seams and suspension points and fix small damage early. A good hammock then lasts many seasons.

What is an under blanket – and why not a normal blanket?

An under blanket hangs outside under the hammock and forms a lofty, uninterrupted insulation layer there. A blanket inside the hammock, on the other hand, is compressed flat by your body weight – just like the sleeping bag – and loses its warming effect exactly where you need it. The Snugpak Under Blanket is matched to the Jungle and Tropical models and turns the hammock into a three-season sleeping place.

Hammock or tent – which is better?

The hammock wins on weight, pack size and pitching time – and it needs no flat, dry ground. The tent offers more storage space, protection for your equipment and works above the tree line, where anchor points are missing. Many combine both depending on the tour. If you prefer the ground variant, you will find our selection under Tents.

What accessories do I need for the complete setup?

For sleeping outside, the classic setup consists of four parts: hammock with mosquito net, under blanket against the cold from below, quilt or sleeping bag as the top layer (selection under Sleeping Bags) and a tarp as a weather roof above – for example the Nordisk Voss Tech Tarp or a model from the category Tarps & Shelters. Add fixing material – and your weatherproof night camp is complete.
