Hammocking is just awful. There is nothing beautiful or relaxing about it, it is honestly just stressful and not worth your time. Don't let any of these chaco wearing, tree huggers tell you otherwise because if you dare try it, you'll see that it is absolutely horrible. Don't believe me? Here's 10 reasons why hammocking is truly awful.
1. Outdoors is just gross.
I mean who would ever want to sit outside? The air just isn't fresh enough and all that there is to do is stare at blobs of green stuff. Too many bugs and gross things to enjoy it.2. There is nothing pretty about it
There is no where to hammock with a view. I mean mountains? Tree's with a waterfront view? Nope. You definitely won't find any beautiful places to hammock; like ever.
3. If I swing too much I will spill my coffee.
I mean seriously how hard is it to sit somewhere and not spill your coffee. Now I have to change my shirt if I decide to bring a cup of coffee in my hammock because hammocks can't sit still enough-- how irritating!
4. I sometimes look ridiculous getting into it.
Getting into my hammock is a whole other story that can be so embarrassing. Hammocks are awful because my life would be absolutely over if I tried to hammock somewhere that people could see me getting into it.
5. Hammock pictures are overrated.
Talk about being basic. There is nothing unique or pretty about a picture from a hammock. I mean a cool picture from a special spot with a great view? Not possible.6. Odds of falling are too high
In fact I have fallen once so I can tell you that it isn't fun but since there are such high odds, I think I'd rather not risk it.
7. I'd rather hang with my friends
I mean no friends would ever wanna hang from a tree with you because they would think you are totally weird.8. It's stressful
Honestly, wrapping some straps around trees, clipping in and chilling in a tree is too stressful to enjoy. It just brings so much anxiety knowing I have to pack up my stuff after and so much has to be done to set up that I can't find time to relax at all.
9. It's just not fun
It is just so boring sitting in your hammock. Music? Nah. Read a book? Who even likes books. Homework? that's the reason I am not hammocking. You can't do anything from a hammock, you can't even eat ice cream so why would you even want to hammock?
10. Hammocking lacks adventure
There is absolutely no adventure in hammocking because you are just stationary. That's all that's to it so who would even wanna try it? You can't hammock anywhere neat and it definitely lacks all sort of adventure.
