How to Use a Hammock (2): step-by-step guide

Getting out of a hammock uses the same motion in reverse. Watch the video, then try it.

  1. Lie back and let your arms rest inside the hammock while you relax.

  2. To get out, swing your legs down toward the ground one at a time.

  3. Sit up in the middle with your feet flat on the ground.

  4. Hold the edge of the hammock with one hand and stand up slowly.

  5. Untie or unhook each end if you are putting it away.

  6. Fold or roll the fabric and store it somewhere dry.

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
