# Swinging Suspended Tents The Blue Ridge Camping Hammock is Made for Rough Terrain By Meghan Young | Published 2013-03-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-ridge-camping-hammock References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/blue-ridge-camping-hammock/) & [lawsonhammock](http://www.lawsonhammock.com/) The Blue Ridge Camping Hammock lets people "sleep like a rock, not on one," as cleverly written on its website. As implied by the use of the word 'hammock,' this tent is meant to be suspended between two trees to offer optimal comfort while enjoying the great outdoors. Made with particularly rough terrain in mind, the Blue Ridge Camping Hammock comes with a nylon pack cloth bed, nylon rope, aluminum alloy poles and no-see-um netting. Ready for rougher weather, the [suspended tent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zpacks-duplex-pro) also boasts a nylon rain tarp and two interior pockets to keep clothes and items dry. The Blue Ridge Camping Hammock is also versatile. It can be used as a [traditional ground tent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvascamp-mouflon-tent) and weighs a mere 4.25 pounds for [easy portability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperlite-crosspeak-2-tent). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Suspended Tents:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop lightweight and easy-to-assemble suspended tents for outdoor enthusiasts looking for comfortable and versatile camping options. - **Rough Terrain Camping Gear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create durable and rugged camping equipment specifically designed to withstand rough terrain conditions, offering outdoor enthusiasts enhanced comfort and convenience. - **Versatile Outdoor Shelters:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Design multi-purpose outdoor shelters that can be used as ground tents or suspended tents, providing campers with flexible and adaptable camping solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop innovative camping and outdoor gear to cater to the growing demand for unique and comfortable outdoor experiences. - **Adventure Travel:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create specialized gear and equipment for adventure travelers, offering them durable and versatile solutions for various terrain and weather conditions. - **Outdoor Equipment Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Curate a selection of innovative and high-quality outdoor equipment to meet the evolving needs of outdoor enthusiasts seeking enhanced comfort and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Frontcountry Hammock Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frontcountry-hammock-tent.md) - [Exo-Frame Hammock Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anymaka-hammock-tent.md) - [Ergonomic Suspended Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switra-swisstrail.md) - [Heavy-Duty Hammock Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavyduty-hammock-tent.md) - [Ultralight All-in-One Hammock Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skynest-hammock-tent.md) - [Lightweight Suspended Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suspended-tents.md) - [Breathable Outdoor Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-hammock-set.md) - [Omni-Position Camping Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/float-tent.md) - [Vehicle-Mounted Hammock Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outpost-overland-hammock-stand.md)
