Abstract
A hammock kit comprises a hammock, and a portable hammock stand adaptable to connecting with and suspending the hammock. The portable hammock stand comprises: a proximal bipod comprising a first proximal support pole and a second proximal support pole; a distal bipod comprising a first distal support pole and a second distal support pole; a ridgepole having a proximal end and a distal end, and extending between the proximal bipod and the distal bipod; a distal multifunctional hammock stand hub; a proximal multifunctional hammock stand hub; and at least one stabilizer pole. Each of the distal multifunctional hammock stand hub and the proximal multifunctional hammock stand hub comprises: a body comprising a plurality of slots.
