After 10 wonderful years of serving outdoor enthusiasts like you, Hummingbird Hammocks is now closed.
This page and our open source repositories will remain live for the foreseeable future as a tribute to the amazing community that supported us.
All of our open source licenses have been updated to MIT, so feel free to use our designs and code in any way you see fit.
Hummingbird Hammocks was a small business that specialized in ultralight camping and backpacking gear. We were known for our high-quality, lightweight hammocks and tarps that were perfect for backpacking, camping, and other outdoor adventures.
There's never a simple answer to a question like this, the factors that lead to a business closing are complex and varied. In our case, it was a combination of personal reasons, market changes, and some unexpected challenges.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support and loyalty throughout this incredible journey. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the Hummingbird Hammocks family. Your support has meant the world to us, and we hope our products have enhanced your outdoor experiences as much as you've enriched our lives.

We have always had an open-source first mentality. Furthering this idea, we have re-licensed everything with MIT licenses, permitting use and reuse of everything we designed for any use-case. We have also published our supplier lists and other previously private information in the hopes that it may help someone else.
