picture this: it's mid-july, the sun is shining, and you feel completely relaxed. this is the essence of hammock day. while the origins of this holiday are unknown, hammock day exists to remind us to slow down, relax, and enjoy summer because it will be over soon!
hammocks have been around for centuries. the earliest hammocks were made in the caribbean, two hundred years before the Spanish conquest. they were later introduced in europe by christopher columbus, who learned about them from the native americans. since then, hammocks have been a necessity on many naval vessels as a place for the crew to sleep and as a way to conserve space.
hammocks can be made from many different materials including fiber, canvas, rope, leather, and plastic. take a few minutes today to chill out, enjoy a summer beverage, and pay hommage to the hammock.
