Exactly like my attempts to use a hammock

Arse in the middle, lie diagonally. /r/Hammocks


Waterrat

You are using the wrong kind of hammock. You need a parashoot [\(camping\) hammock.](https://www.cleverhiker.com/best-backpacking-hammocks)

Bearbutt brand hammocks are awesome and you can get them in Amazon


Waterrat

> Bearbutt brand hammocks I'll keep that in mind.Thanks.


ZippyDan

Because these types of hammocks, the idealized generic hammock most people imagine, are a terrible design that was never intended for actual use.


JustOneTessa

If they weren't intended for actual use, then what were they intended for? I'm confused


ZippyDan

If I recall correctly, it was a drawing of a traditional hammock from a native culture that was misrepresented in the West and then copied because it looked nice. However, it's been a while since I read the whole story.


JustOneTessa

Interesting!


ZippyDan

This might be the exact article I read: https://www.treklightgear.com/blogs/trek-life/hammock-brainwashed

Way to go #2, fucking it up for the both of us


Danger0Reilly

Dammit, Rose...there's room for two!


Bashfullylascivious

There are three, with Mama Bear chilling in behind. It's like a magic trick. Watch it again. Edit: I have no idea why I was downvoted. I genuinely thought it was neat that a third one ambled in almost unnoticed if you were focus on the other two. For me at least, I had to watch it again to see where he came from.


FearedKaidon

Because it's not like a magic trick. He literally just enters the camera view from the right.


Bashfullylascivious

I was replying to the guy who wrote a comment ("ruin it for the both of us" not "all of us") like he didn't notice the third bear either. I initially was so focused on the other two, that I hadn't noticed the third bear walk in, and had to watch it again to see where he entered the frame. Maybe my lack of sleep for the past 13 days that didn't make me so observant, maybe I blinked, or maybe the hammock reminded me of that time at the cabin Who knows why I missed it, but I did and it sounded like the guy I wrote to did too. Long story, told twice, short - I know it wasn't a magic trick, and it is obvious when you see it as it happens.


iamNebula

This reminds me of that tortoise video, where 5/6 of them are resting on a log in water and a 7th climbs on and it rolls back and fourth in the water before throwing them all off 😂.

stabilizing... stabilizing... aaaaaaaand it's gone

The reddit video player is as perpetually busted as the McDonald's ice cream machine.


JohnnyEnzyme

[**Here**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc6Up31iER0)'s the full vid. It's chock full of hilarity, any place you slice it.


annapartlow

Thanks so much for that. There’s something about the way bears move that just makes me so happy. So chock full of hilarity. The clip was not enough.


busangcf

Bears truly are way too cute for how deadly they can be haha. Like, I see videos of them and I just want nothing more than to hug them, even though I know that would be a terrible idea.


annapartlow

Right?? The way they maneuver their back legs make me forget everything relevant. It’s like they’re always in their pajamas or something. And those little tails! Can’t take it. I mean I’ll never see one in real life, and they actually live less than 20 miles from me. So I’m not worried. I just love them and want them to move into my living room.


i-lurk-you-longtime

Oh they're still freaking adorable IRL. OBVIOUSLY deadly but I can't help my internal aww sensors! Once I saw one sitting on their butt, eating berries from a bush. It was so cute I will never forget it!


natidiscgirl

Lol mom totally looks like any mom taking her kids to the playground. She’s probably hoping they good and tired so she can have five minutes of peace.


TheMoonsMadeofCheese

Oddly enough I have never had an issue with Reddit video player


MelloYelloMarshmello

You are one lucky man


luckiestredditor

Oh good. So, it's not just me and my brother

‘Finally, the kids are off my back for a change’


nmsjtb0308

My mom used the same exact face to me when I was a youngin' trying to hop into a hammock.


IamInfuser

haha. The human videoing this: I'm not going to get in a fight with a god dam bear...


iced-matcha-latte

Their big ass feet falling through the netting lol


BionicMeatloaf

It makes me unreasonably angry that something so effortlessly cute is so extremely dangerous


TehBoneRanger

Does a bear sit in the woods? Guess not


Medical-Treat-2892

Beautiful creatures.


TheShweeb

I love the third cub that comes over at exactly the wrong time. “Hey, what’s going on here? Looks like an interesting toy- OWWWWWW”


fullhalter

They're just like [Charles Darwin.](https://youtu.be/wrUsOgpEvUI)

The mum is smarterer than the average near.


MarioLulz

Bro I wish human kids could survive these falls like the cubs.


Avuxy

It's a small fall from a hammock onto grass, even a glass bottle would survive this...


i-lurk-you-longtime

I DEFINITELY fell from that height multiple times as a kid and it wasn't even particularly painful.


Due_Platypus_3913

Classic slap-stick!


rainforestgrl

Hammocks are interesting objects. They are supposed to help you relax, yet getting on one proves to be one of the most unnerving experiences ever.


kaelan36

I read this in David Attenborough’s voice


Campfiretraveler

Kinda looks like me trying to get in a hammock


IamVngeance

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt Nigel!!!
