Did you choose the hammock life? Or did the hammock life choose you? When and how did your start hammocking?!

Truthfully, I had always been a skeptic of the hammock life. Being on a college campus, it was impossible to not see someone hoisted between two trees. I kind of thought it was a waste of time, or maybe I was secretly jealous deep down.

Fast forward a few years and I started dating this girl who loves her some hammocks. It only took one hammock cuddle-sesh to convince me that the hammock life was for me. No regrets.

An Interview with Tree Climbing Expert & Wildlife Artist Richard Symonds

Richard Symonds generously agreed to share his experience climbing trees with the folks from Hammock Town. Richard has been committed to wildlife conversation for over 20 years. Entirely self-taught Richard dedicated his life to painting and drawing wild animals in their natural habitat. He’s held various exhibitions and auctions around the world. 🗺

In 2006 Richard hit headlines completing his first life-size oil painting of an African bull elephant named “Tembo”. Richard’s painting sold for a staggering $100,000.00 to a private collector with a large donation from the sale going directly to The Born Free Foundation.

Richard has a rare ability to capture the true essence of each animal he paints. His artwork
has been published in many leading magazines, books, Limited Edition prints, greetings cards and multi media.

Did you choose the hammock life? Or did the hammock life choose you? When and how did your start hammocking?!

Ive owned a hammock since 2003 but was not part of #hanglife until 2016. In the beginning of spring I randomly brought the old hammock out and hung it in my son’s room…watching him do some unorthodox entry and exit methods I was inspired to hang more often…within weeks I was hooked and I’ve been pushing hammocking to the limit ever since.
