With summer here (even though Mother Nature is treating us like Seattle, dumping rain all over), it's time to start thinking about the big vacations over the summer! I usually get invited on fishing trips; however, I prefer to kick back and relax... and watch the pros work.

Trailer Hitch... Meet Tree Pod

Have you heard of a Tree Pod? Think hammock, but with mesh on the sides and a roof to shade you from the sun. Or, a floating one-person tent.

Enter the Hammaka Hammock Hitch System

Could you imagine... pulling up to Fort Peck Lake, kicking back, and relaxing with a cool beverage... while watching the boats fly by? Relaxing, if you ask me!

What are your thoughts?

Do you have a better system rigged up for shade at the lake? Could you see yourself doing this on your vehicle? Let us know on App Chat or on Facebook!
