Getting in a Hammock
When getting into a hammock turn with your back to the hammock and simply sit into the hammock. As you sit down, reach back with your hands to ease yourself into the hammock. If the hammock does not have spreader bars, spread the hammock bed apart. Once you are in a sitting position lay back in the hammock and swing your feet in. NEVER enter a hammock feet first.
Laying in a Hammock
When laying in a hammock, the best position in on an angle. This allows better distribution of your weight within the hammock. Some of the wider Yucatan and Mayan hammocks can be laid in perpendicular to the hammock. Double hammocks may be used in a variety of positions. With each hammock you will have to experiment to find what is the most comfortable for you.
Getting out of a hammock
To get out of the hammock, simply swing your legs out and then stand up. You might need to push with you arms against the hammock to get your upper body up out of the hammock.
