Hammock Invention Huge Hit For Camping Fans

Inventor Joe Askey-Doran has come up with the ultimate for campers and beachgoers - a fully portable hammock. At just 4.2 kgs and folding down to 95 cm, the Aussie Anchor Hammock is sure to be a huge hit.

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (PRWEB) December 15, 2005 -- When inventor Joe Askey-Doran developed a lightweight and portable hammock he was unaware of what a hit he had on his hands – but with the launch of the first web site selling the hammock he now knows! Weighing just 4.2 kg and folding down to 95 cm, the Aussie Anchor Hammock can be set up just about anywhere without the need for support poles. And it’s proving a big hit with online Christmas shoppers at http://www.campwithjack.com.

"When I first appeared on the New Inventors TV show the response was overwhelming. Winning the People’s Choice Award was a big thrill, but it’s a bigger thrill to get the fantastic feedback we’re getting from happy customers,” said Askey-Doran.

“I think what impresses people the most is the innovative way the hammock uses the ground as a pin point to support the weight of the user. The hammock has obviously struck a nerve as a great Christmas gift for campers, beachgoers, in fact any person who wants a lie down!” said Askey-Doran.

CampWithJack.com boss Jack Sinclair says the Aussie Anchor Hammock is the best he’s seen.

“The frame is very stable and safe and using the lightweight parachute fabric for the hammock was a masterstroke – it’s incredibly strong but very comfortable. We’re delighted to be the only online distributor of the hammock and it’s already proving very popular,” said Sinclair.

“At just $99 Australian ($75 US) the Aussie Anchor Hammock will prove very popular for a long time to come,” he said.
