My Turtlebug stand arrived at the start of a 24 hour shift as a Paramedic on an ambulance, so I took it with me to unbox and assemble during downtime. After I had it assembled, I had my hammock with me in the trunk of my car, so I decided to see how well it fit. Then I figured that since it was all set up, I might as well use it for sleeping overnight. It was easily the most comfortable I've ever been while on duty. I have now started bringing it to work on every 24 hour shift, practicing setup/teardown and getting to spend more time in my hammock. I love it!

Oh my gosh this is an awesome review Neil! We're honored you're using Turtlebug for your shift work and are grateful for your service to your community. Thank you for sharing your experience!
The initial set up was a breeze! When it’s packed in the bag it’s a little heavier than I expected, but so easy to move when it’s set up. I haven’t ’road tested it yet, but I have no doubt it’ll be a game changer for me when motorcycle camping!

Yahoo we're glad you like Turtlebug Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
Took a chance on an “imperfect collection” and other than maybe a few minute scratches the stand appears to be brand new! Honestly scratches will appear after first set up and take down anyway as the tent pole style legs will be banging against each other in the bag.
Set up and take down was a breeze (see youtube videos). The size when packed is comparable to the size of a personal gym bag, which makes transporting the stand way more convenient compared to other “portable” stands I’ve tried from other brands.
Knowing the stand is repairable is a huge plus, especially since it’s held together with shock cords, tent pole style.
All in all it’s a great portable stand. Perfect when you don’t have any trees or if you don’t want to damage any trees. Also, can’t go wrong supporting a small business!

Yahoo Paul! We're so glad you're happy with your Imperfect Turtlebug! Thank you for giving us a chance to make your hammock camp easier and more convenient.
Easy to set up. Great for no tree areas. Easy to take down and transport. Bicycle camping by rivers.
Store owner replied:
Yahoo! Ease was the goal with this stand, so we're happy it met your approval. Thank you for this review!
I bought from the "imperfect collection" and I honestly could not find any imperfections. I will need to purchase tarp poles eventually.
Watched the initial setup and tear down videos to get up to speed and found myself really liking this setup, very fast and easy once you get used to it.
This hammock stand is not my first but it definitely has a place in my camping gear.

Thank you so much for this awesome review Ethan! We're glad you're happy with your purchase.Some stands from our Imperfect Collection are brand new -- they just may have some versions of parts that have since been upgraded. :)
Thrilled with my new stand! The set up and break down videos are excellent, I set it up and broke it down myself no problem on the first try. Simple and does the job, exactly as advertised. And I love that YOBO sells replacement parts so I can keep everything working for the long haul.
Store owner replied:
Yessss Dorothy we love hearing this! Simple was the goal with this stand -- we're so glad this was the experience you had.
The stand works great. It was amazing to be able to get a week's worth of great sleep still when no trees were available. Couldn't be happier with my purchase to complete my camping set up. Would highly recommend the stand to others. Customer service was also spectacular.
Store owner replied:
Yeah, glad to hear it Stephen! Thank you for sharing this review!
this thing is amazing. i have a tensa4 and a tato, hands down this blows them away for portability, ease of operation. i’m still wrapping my head around how the load is carried … it’s like understanding how a plane flys … the math is there but it still kinda defies logic
Store owner replied:
We love hearing this Russell! Thank you for choosing Turtlebug!
This is my second turtlebug, they are great stands, easy and fast to set up and as for this one being sold in the scratch and dent section. This one was brand new. This is a great company and fantastic people to purchase from.

This stand is fantastic, it is very sturdy, fast and easy to set up. And as it being a scratch and dent sale? it looked like it was brand new.
