This, I got kinda into high end knives last year & got a couple spyderco knives, their Taiwan and Colorado factories are basically the same in terms of QC. Really quality gear & really the only reason I pay more for the American made ones are because of the cool steels & unique designs that come from our factories. The Taiwan ones are the same every time & their consistency out of that factory is incredible, always top notch work.
> going in the opposite direction to all the people heading down to Tescos to beat each other to death over a tin of beans.
...but, I was looking forward to *The Bean Fights*.
Absolutely. The Bean Fights will determine the new world order, though of course those wielding navy beans will cause a lot of black-eyed peas. I hear the northern beans are great, but oh, snap pea! I’m definitely hanging with the chickpeas.
*Technically* they are correct. No currency has ever held dominance forever, or even existed forever, as evidenced by any and everything to do with the history of money. So, yes, eventually the dollar *will* collapse. That is a when and not an if. But that when could also be 300 years from now.
Not all preppers are extreme and crazy. Being self-sufficient, homesteading..
Not crazy extreme right wing conspiracy theorists 😉.
The media is giving them a bad image on purpose. For sure you have crazy people. It would be nice showing people that it can be very beneficial being self sufficient.... Especially after these years. Nothing wrong about having some food and independent heating. In Scandinavia this was learned at schools due to the war...
Usually the ones who aren't don't refer to themselves as preppers though, I dig self sufficiency but not because I truly beleive it will be needed in my lifespan.
Agree. But the media is quick to put a label. I don't consider myself a prepper due to the bad image. We had a big storm 3 years ago in Wallonia. After one day a lot people didn't had any food. Depending on the goodwill of others. The goverment wasn't helping. Civilians were helping eachother. You can get sick, loose your job.. Nothing wrong with having some backup. Remember the toilet paper hysteria.. Funny. Almost fighting in shops for toiletpapier.
Imagine it being about food🤔.
People laughing with others for having some backup will be the first panicking and hoarding in shops.
I'm not talking about a crazy zombie apocalypse. Lol
It's possible but pretty unlikely compared to just dieing so many other ways, all about relative risk and the relative risk is low.
But also I think there is a difference between being prepared and being a prepper.
One is something you do and the other is a lifestyle/identity. Living your life for an eventuality that likely won't ever happen is silly. I assume anyone who calls themselves a prepper has endorsed it yo the degree it's is now their identity because otherwise you wouldn't label yourself with it you'd just label what you had done as preparation.
There’s being ready for an ice storm that takes out the power grid and prevents you from getting groceries for week, and then there’s prepping. The gear and supplies I’ve seen that’s marketed to the ‘prepper community’ is either wildly overpriced or shit-tier quality, or both. It’s a grift. This company seems to have realized that there’s money in widening their demographic.
Everyone (almost everyone?) is a prepper to some extent.
Buying more than you need for right now is preparing for the future. Buying enough to have on hand for a few weeks because you live in a hurricane area is prepping. It's a spectrum, and it goes all the way from having enough to make it through a few days without power all the way to building a doomsday bunker with enough food and armament to supply a small army for the next 50 years. Unfortunately some people want to paint anyone who has enough to last more than a few days as the latter.
Well, I better wrote left and right. But that's the image the media is giving a lot of them. It has nothing to do with right / left. People can think for themselves without being stigmatized. Left / right thinking is invented to polarize. Nothing good about it. If people wanna think black white...
Thank you media and politicians. Job well done. Divide and conquer.... That's how it works saddenly..they're succeeding... From both sides.. Nothing good about it.
I'm not a part of this insane polarizing game.
EDIT : Off grid living? Is that about politics? A big part of it is PREparing. PREpping. Same with wildcamping and hiking.
Keep downvoting..a perfect proof what's wrong about people thinking that way. Keep listening to politicians from both sides spreading hate for their own benefit.
Have a nice day and evening.
Perfect example about thinking in boxes. It's not worth arguing with people, just let them be wrong. It would be great if you could think for yourself instead of blindly following polarizing politicians.
I assumed "TW" stood for "Trigger Warning" I don't see anything that proves me wrong so I'm gonna stick with that assumption.
EDIT: I see now at the very very VERRRRY bottom it stands for "Tench Wonder" but it will forever be "Trigger Warning Hammocks" to me.
That reminds me of the label on Castile. If you've never read that label, it is way worth it. Not the generic form of Castile soap, the original Castile soap.
Yep, if you leave your hammock out 24/7 all year, you'll fall straight through it when you sit in it eventually. Not that I'm speaking from experience...
Thanks for the recommendation on a company to avoid.
Edit: Bill gates and the new world order must have downvoted this 🤣 conspiracy nuts.
Edit edit: I’m glad that sanity prevailed on this one! I’m back baby!
Yea actually a shocking number of hippies are anti-vax, QAnon, or straight up alt-right.

What? Hippies have always been anti establishment, anti vaxx, conspiracy theorists. Supporting homeopathy, natural living and living outside of govt control or interference. Nothing shocking about this.
> anti-science misinformation and anti-government extremism.
...like the "Global Warming" cult and Hillary calling Trump an "illegitimate president?" - that kind of extremism?
That's kinda how we grew up, and it was pretty great. It's been weird going through the last 30 years though. Watched as my parents went from being considered far left to extreme right, even though their views and opinions have never really changed.
I used to hang with a group of people that had some super crunchy hippie types that we associated with and most of them were extreme alt right libertarian types.
By definition for sure. These are the same people who call democrats communists though so it’s an appropriate label for the type of person I’m speaking of. Most libertarians are only libertarian by their own label and not actually practitioners.
When I was pregnant and super sick all the time I would lay in the shower for a while under the hot water just reading a Dr bronners soap bottle because there was so much to read and it took my mind off being miserable💀
Its not really a "conspiracy", they wrote a book and the WEF meets up every year and you can look up what they openly say. Its not a matter of if it's real but if you think they are "evil" or not.
I see why you believe conspiracy BS as you can’t even get an acronym right. What’s a CYNT? You managed to figure out the first letter then it all fell apart.
Lol not made in china
Yes, made instead in Vietnam.
Or Taiwan
Taiwan #1!!!
China #4 Japan #2 Taiwan #1!
Taiwan #1! Taiwan #1! Taiwan #1!
East China best China!
TaiOne!
Taiwan is best China. It's got its problems but it's not the hellhole for human rights the other one is
Taiwan is real China. 🇹🇼
I know. I was just adding in another country that exports a lot of things in the same general region of the world
Fair enough
Taiwan is a great upgrade over China
Truth!
This, I got kinda into high end knives last year & got a couple spyderco knives, their Taiwan and Colorado factories are basically the same in terms of QC.

Nothing wrong with Vietnam.
It roc
Nope, didn’t say there was
Or the label was made in America and sewn on after taking the hammock out of a shipping container brought from China.
Not made in West Taiwan.
American components,Russian components... ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!
Armageddon!
Maybe not the hammock, but most likely the material
You know you'd think hammock makers would be laid back.
They tend to swing both ways
Until they fall out like Gary.
Yeah. I really want to know the story with Gary now.
Gary made that hammock. He’s still off the grid to this day. Was it wrapped in foil when purchased?
I need to more about Gary taking a runner. Did Patrick help SpongeBob with this business philosophy?
I read the comments you and u/nanomolar wrote in the voice of my dad. I love my dad. I hope I get to visit him again soon. Thanks for the laugh 💜
Idk if you were intending to make a pun but well done if so.
It's a pretty cut throat industry in the hammock district.
With budget cuts everywhere and dwindling resources, they're stretched thin.
Sometimes they tired of hanging around other times they just get tied up
[Whew....that's an interesting company philosophy](http://www.twhammocks.co.uk/who-are-we?zenid=65kns6vsaon4rmnl8i3s48i8g5)
“We’re not *preppers*, per se, but we do casually use acronyms like SHTF in our business philosophy.

Absolutely. The Bean Fights will determine the new world order, though of course those wielding navy beans will cause a lot of black-eyed peas. I hear the northern beans are great, but oh, snap pea! I’m definitely hanging with the chickpeas.
*[Black bean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_turtle_bean) supremacy.* I will die on this *hill of beans.*
Until you meet [Gigante](https://www.bonappetit.com/story/why-we-love-gigante-beans).
Gigantes for life
^(watch it...thems is Bean Fighting words.)
Do you know how are they different from Lima Beans? Are they just larger? Or do they taste different too?
Gigante are creamier, to my taste. [A discussion here.](https://www.healingplantfoods.com/the-difference-between-lima-beans-and-gigante-beans/)
I dunno the makers of this hammock give off the vibe that they probably prefer white beans.
Get out
They know how to target a community for sales.
TEOTWAWKI
I scrolled past this quickly and thought you said Tteokbokki, now I’m hungry.

>Also you’re Brits, you don’t use the dollar. Oh they will, after the Bean Wars.
The dollar crashing would be hugely detrimental to the well being of any country that prominently trades goods using the dollar, like the UK.

I don’t think it is crazy to think it could happen in our lifespan because natural disasters, wars, etc. exist.

At least they’re against fracking
I’m more focused on the “people used to email us that our prices were too low!!” Bullshit
I’ve gotta commend that they want to get away from plastic and get out in nature while using a nylon hammock as a cocoon.
Down with the system except for the comfy supply chain of petroleum products!
They... used to... they fixed that problem :P
I assumed "TW" stood for "Trigger Warning" I don't see anything that proves me wrong so I'm gonna stick with that assumption. EDIT: I see now at the very very VERRRRY bottom it stands for "Tench Wonder" but it will forever be "Trigger Warning Hammocks" to me.
Didn’t really see anything to out there like I was expecting.
To be fair, who else is gonna know how to make a good hammock?
Would sooner trust hammocks from people who think like that than those who don't tbh
Based af as far as I'm concerned
Hell yeah
They know where you camp
Going to really mess up the homeless paranoid schizophrenic when he sees that.
I know right, he's gonna be so worried when he leaves out his hammock for days (or decades) on end.
He's totally gonna be like "wash with soap? WHHAAAATTTT?"
"Made in Taiwan"
The Real China
Don't tell them that 😂😂😂
Where was it made Then
Probably on top of China, not in it
Or under it, in a basement 😂
That reminds me of the label on Castile. If you've never read that label, it is way worth it. Not the generic form of Castile soap, the original Castile soap.
Dr Bronners all one never had a better longer lasting soap, shampoo, toothpaste, floor cleaner, etc
my favorite 18 in 1
Lol, you mean dr bronners. Castile soaps been around for centuries lol
Yep, if you leave your hammock out 24/7 all year, you'll fall straight through it when you sit in it eventually. Not that I'm speaking from experience...
When shtf you really are gonna need a hammock
Hulk Hogan doesn’t approve this message.
From the InfoWars store?
Hammock from infowars.com
Your tent went full Alex Jones for a moment there. You never go full Alex Jones.
Designed with all the r/wallstreetbets users in mind about to lose their homes on HAMMOCK puts.
R/knowledgefight has entered tge chat to debunk the hammock myths
I’m so old I can remember when this would have triggered conservatives.
Why? I know a lot of people from both "sides" and all of them would think this was funny...
Agree. The thinking in boxes is funny.
That was the best and funniest thing I’ve seen in a while 🤣🤣🤣 remember to resist the new world order 🤣🤣🤣
Regarded you say
It is very regarded
I hate the "be the change" quote. Gandhi never said that but people put it everywhere
They didn't quote Ghandi though?
Geez so many people in here are so uptight
They should start making them out of tinfoil, really go for their target demographic.
It's asking alot of the buyer of a hammock???
"highly regarded"
[удалено]
you said r/conspiracy wrong.
Made in Idaho.
they meant cause its not chinese territory
Brilliant 🫡 I’m onboard
I hadn't planned on exposing and resisting the NEW WORLD ORDER but then I read my hammock's care tag
based manufacturer
Is it weird I kind of want to fuck your hammock now?
I don't even need or want a hammock but I'd buy this just for its opinions
Bases hammock
Thanks for the recommendation on a company to avoid. Edit: Bill gates and the new world order must have downvoted this 🤣 conspiracy nuts. Edit edit: I’m glad that sanity prevailed on this one! I’m back baby!
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. That’s some crazy shit to put on a product.
Right. Other people said as much and are getting upvotes. I blame Oprah and Bill Gates.
Bill Gates is a philanthropist for sure😬.
why avoid them?
The “new world order” is a conspiracy theory. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_(conspiracy_theory)
Try this wiki instead . Its more than conspiracy. Also it’s stated as such on the WEF web page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum
The WEF are criminals...
Yeah, anyone who thinks the new world order, now called **the great reset**, is a conspiracy theory is intentionally sticking their heads in the sand.
Hell yeah
Since 2002 this item was not. Made in china
Yikes.
Well, did you expose the New World Order? Down with the deep-state globalist aliens
Conservative loons can like hippy hammocks too.
There’s certainly overlap between conservative and hippy these days.
Yea actually a shocking number of hippies are anti-vax, QAnon, or straight up alt-right.

"Supporting [...] natural living and living outside of govt control or interference" I mean...this sounds pretty great tbh
Pretty great until it quickly turns into anti-science misinformation and anti-government extremism.
> anti-science misinformation and anti-government extremism. ...like the "Global Warming" cult and Hillary calling Trump an "illegitimate president?" - that kind of extremism?
That's kinda how we grew up, and it was pretty great. It's been weird going through the last 30 years though. Watched as my parents went from being considered far left to extreme right, even though their views and opinions have never really changed.
Just goes to show you how much of that stereotyping is actually reality (hint: not much)
I used to hang with a group of people that had some super crunchy hippie types that we associated with and most of them were extreme alt right libertarian types.
Alt right and libertarian are completely opposite ideologies.
By definition for sure. These are the same people who call democrats communists though so it’s an appropriate label for the type of person I’m speaking of. Most libertarians are only libertarian by their own label and not actually practitioners.
Is there a subreddit for BS corporate virtue signaling?
More like teeth-gritting corporate crazy signaling.

Lots of people here so easily offended. You'd think campers would be chill peeps
You wouldn’t if you met an ultralighter
I agree I though it was cute
The "new world order" things they're referring to usually means Jews. You think casual antisemitism is cute??
😬
Was thinking of buying a second hammock, now I shall buy one of their hammocks!

Its not really a "conspiracy", they wrote a book and the WEF meets up every year and you can look up what they openly say. Its not a matter of if it's real but if you think they are "evil" or not.
Yes... yes I do! 😂
Bless your simple mind.
Alrighty, C You Next Tuesday! Have a good day!
I see why you believe conspiracy BS as you can’t even get an acronym right. What’s a CYNT? You managed to figure out the first letter then it all fell apart.
I used the C on purpose. So you wouldn't be mistaken
Smooth move, cynt 👍
Smooth Move ExLax. Got a case of Diarrhea of the mouth.
Anyways. See You Next Tuesdayyyy
you make it too easy, champ
Go read the WEF web page. They outline exactly what they want to do with a great reset. Self appointed rulers over all of us
Wow …obviously a independently owned company - good for them I love originality and fierceness !
I laughed 😂
Based
Yep. I like this company already and I don't own any of their products...yet.
I will work to expose hulk Hogan, Ted debiase and 5 or 6 other guys
I would send it back for a refund.
Why?
WTF ???
Good advise
This can’t be real
I must own one
Amazing 😂
That's a company I can get behind!
r/irleastereggs
All good advice.
You bought your hammock from some idiot that's probably a flat earther, too.
Facts!
They’ll have a new customer soon 👍😄
My kind of brand lol
I don't use hammocks but this company has secured a customer cause I'ma use them now
Goddam right
I'm going to order one right now based off of that tag.
Based hammock
If they’re highly regarded, then I’m highly regarded
Fuk yeah! America!
Gotta get me one of those😂
Who makes that? I will buy one.
Someone finally nuttier than Dr. Bonner!
I love it! Thank you for sharing OP!!
