Spring is the perfect season for hammock camping to enjoy the gradual warming of temperatures and enjoy the vibrant colors of Mother Nature. If you’re looking to up your hammock game this 2021, there’s no better brand to help you do it than Kammok. Here are a few of their best new offerings.

Koala Hammock Underquilt, $229-$329

How to set up your Koala Underquilt

A hammock might seem like just an additional camping amenity for post-hike lounging by the fire. However, with the right accessories (and a working knowledge of how to properly hang one), a hammock can replace your tent and sleeping bag altogether. The Koala underquilt affixes beneath your hammock to create a soft, insulated cocoon. The durable ripstop nylon fabric and water-resistant shell are designed to keep you dry and provide maximum heat retention. The Koala is available in synthetic and down varieties, good to 40 degree-Fahrenheit and 30-degree Fahrenheit weather respectively. Add a traditional sleeping bag to the mix, and you’re ready for the winter.  Both varieties pack down small and weigh around 1.5 pounds.

Firebelly Trail Quilt, $159-239

Where the Koala is designed to keep your hammock’s underside toasty, the Firebelly keeps your top half warm. The purpose-designed trail quilt can be used like a traditional blanket, draped over you at night. On especially cold nights, however, a series of snaps and elastic bands provide a more secure fit, enveloping your body like a “burrito-style” sleeping bag. Firebelly uses many of the same construction materials as the Koala, including Atmos fabric and a ripstop nylon shell. Synthetic and down varieties are available with temperature ratings of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 degrees Fahrenheit respectively. The quilt spans 75 inches by 52 inches —roughly the dimensions of a full size mattress and large enough to sleep two comfortably (assuming you like each other). Firebelly packs down small, and both varieties weigh in around 1.5 pounds.

Now is arguably the best time to buy from Kammok. As part of a do-good initiative to help victims of the many recent disasters that rocked the U.S., the brand debuted three new state flag-print hammocks. Proceeds from the sale of these Colorado-, Texas-, and California-themed hammocks will go to support the victims of each of those state’s recent natural disasters. These limited edition hammocks are ultra-soft, featherweight (just 10 ounces), and sturdy (capable of supporting up to 400 pounds), and pack down to about the size of a softball.

I’ve had an outdoor couch like this for years, now’s your chance to save $300
Best Choice outdoor couch with seven pieces and coffee table

I had originally built a DIY paver patio before we eventually commissioned a pool and deck to be built in our backyard. After it was finished, I ordered a Best Choice wicker patio couch very much like the one I will share here. It has lasted all of that time, for years, and we've only replaced the cushions once. Why am I telling you this? Because every backyard setup needs some comfortable, reliable seating, just like the Best Choice outdoor couch that's on sale at Amazon today. Normally $800, it's down to $500 -- saving you $300. Not only is that one hell of a deal, but also, knowing pretty much the same couch has lasted me and my family years, even with some remodeling, I can tell you it's a great buy. Keep in mind, that there are a few different styles with varying prices for each. The brown wicker and dark rust cushions version, for instance, , so $100 more. That's still a great deal, but not as low. Either way, I recommend taking a look.

 
Why you should consider this 7-piece outdoor couch set with a coffee table and a cover
Since I didn't really delve into the set in the intro or talk about what you get, here it is: The entire set includes seven pieces, with two corners, four mid-section pieces, all the cushions, and pillows, plus a coffee table with a glass top and a cover to keep the couch protected from the elements. The only thing I didn't get with my set is that cover, which, honestly, will be a huge boon if you decide to grab this deal. You'd be surprised at just how fast those cushions get dirty or faded when exposed to the elements.
