Using the Yakima SkyLoft Gear Hammock is a breeze. First, if you want to keep your late - night essentials handy, use the adjustable straps to clip it inside your SkyRise tent's roof. This way, you won't have to fumble around in the dark to find your things. During the day, slide it into the SideTrack™ on your SkyRise tent. You can put jackets, towels, and toys in it. And don't forget, it can also go on the outside edge of the SkyRise base to store cooking supplies and pet treats. When packing up, use one of the zippered pockets to store the hammock itself. As for maintenance, it's pretty easy. Just give it a gentle wash with mild soap and water if it gets dirty. Let it dry completely before storing it away. Keep it in a cool, dry place to make sure it stays in good condition for your next camping trip.
