Hammock Bliss Extra Long Hammock Tree Straps (Misc.)

Hammock Bliss Extra Long Hammock Tree Straps
Hammock Bliss Extra Long Hammock Tree Straps (Misc.)
By Hammock Bliss

Product Images


Review & Description

Hammock Bliss XL Extra Long Tree Straps make it a breeze to set up Hammock Bliss anywhere. XL Tree Straps are a tree friendly suspension system, which extends the reach of the 100" of 6mm climbing rope already included on each side of all Hammock Bliss hammocks. Tree Straps protect the tender bark of trees by evenly distributing the weight over a wider area while also protecting both the rope and the tree from abrasion. When hanging your hammock from a smooth surface such as a pole or post, tree straps act as a tension belt to prevent slippage. Tree Straps are completely adjustable and are ideal for quick set up and fast take down of your hammock. These extra long straps make it even easier to hang your hammock from a greater distance and in different situation. These XL straps also work great with many types of hammocks. If there is one thing you get to make your hammock easier to use, this is it. Read more

Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide (Hardcover)

Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide
Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide (Hardcover)
By Alexander Hanchett Smith

Product Images


Review & Description

The Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide is the guide that tells when, where, and how to find delicious edible mushrooms and how to avoid poisonous ones. Beginners as well as experts will be able to identify mushrooms in a matter of minutes. All of the mushrooms included are illustrated in beautiful color, adding visual enjoyment to the textual materials. The descriptions are tinged with wit and wisdom, making the use of this guide an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
This edition of The Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide should be useful throughout the United States and Canada, but users should remember that each region has certain species peculiar to it, and it is impossible to include all of them here. The coverage is best for the Northeast, Great Lakes region, Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest. It includes most of the truly fine edible wild mushrooms, whether they are common or rare. It also includes the most dangerous ones in order that collectors may recognize them for what they are.
"Whether you are picking mushrooms to eat, or simply want to identify the many strange and beautiful mushrooms you find on walks through the woods, this field guide is highly recommended."-- American Horticulturalist
"This is the mushroom forager's Bible. Don't go into the wilderness without it."--Creative Living
". . . should be on the bookshelf of all serious amateurs, and the professionals will also find it helpful."--Mycologia
The late Alexander H. Smith was Professor Emeritus of Botany, University of Michigan. Nancy Smith Weber is Associate Professor of Forest Science, Oregon State University.
