When you picture an island vacation, chances are you imagine yourself lying down in a hammock with the sun beating down on you through palm fronds.
In one hand you have an ice cold drink, and the other a really good book.
This is, fundamentally, most people's interpretation of paradise.
However, making it happen is not something that comes easily-or cheap.
Between airfare, resort fees, food and drink expenses, and many other costs, by the time you experience your own island paradise, you could very well be facing bankruptcy.
Because of this notion, there are very few people who actually pursue this dream.
Although not many people realize it, you can create your very own paradise in the comfort of your own backyard if you have the drive to set it up! Your backyard sanctum In order to recreate the paradise that you yearn for, you need to accommodate the entire process.
Only putting forth a minor amount of effort will not render you the relaxation that you desire.
If you truly want to experience paradise in your own backyard, you will have to be committed to making it happen.
Having a fancy drink maker, a private area on your property that gets sun, and a couple of books to read is a great start.
However, there is one major thing missing from this picture.
Buy a hammock That's right.
The hammock is often the first thing people imagine when they think of lazing around in the hot island sun.
It's an exotic, comfortable, and highly practical sleeping platform.
Hammocks, although generally all similar, have some glaring differences between various types.
The most important thing to consider when buying a hammock is the type of material it's made out of.
You undoubtedly want to go with something durable, weatherproof, and comfortable to the touch, like a soft polyester or nylon.
The second thing to consider when purchasing a hammock is the design.
Some hammocks are better suited for bigger people, while others are very narrow and might be perfect for children and skinny adults.
Others yet have self-supporting designs, where you hammer in some support stakes into the ground and pin the hammock on those.
This is ideal for people who have no trees in their yard but still want the benefits of a hammock.
However, the best way to enjoy a hammock is to string it up between two trees.
This is the ideal image when people think of paradise-a hammock gently swaying between two large green trees that muffle the sun's rays without completely blocking them.
