Outpost Features
Ultimate Hammock Basecamp
Elevate your camping experience off the ground in any setting, no trees required. On a single vehicle, mount multiple Outpost hammock stands to accommodate a group of campers for a more restful night at camp.
Compact for Car Camping
Lighter than a roof top tent and more space efficient, the Outpost hammock stand offers maximum comfort at camp without sacrificing gas mileage and valuable roof top cargo space.
Flexible Mounting
Mount the Outpost wherever convenient on your vehicle with the included stock mount kit— compatible with most cross bars, basket racks, and platform-style racks. Read more about mounting compatibility here.
Tool-Free Setup
The quick-release ball hitch mount, three-piece crossbar, and telescoping legs make it easy to deploy and collapse the Outpost portable hammock stand in less than a minute—no tools required.
All-terrain Capable
The telescoping legs and rotating ball hitch allow you to adjust your hammock placement to any terrain, and the stake-able feet provide security for your stand when your hammock is not in use.
Compatible with Any Hammock
Over 12 feet long, the Outpost hammock stand is ideal for taller campers to lay flat in a hammock. Outpost is also compatible with our full line of hammocks, including Mantis, Sunda, our Roo line, and most hammocks you already own.
Intuitive Tarp Ridgeline
Stay sheltered from wind and rain by hanging any tarp from the horizontal crossbar. The crossbar is designed to be a robust tarp ridgeline, complete with tarp line guides for added security, and is compatible with our Mantis and Kuhli tarps.
Adventure-Grade Durability
Lightweight yet robust with an all-weather powder coating and backed by our Adventure-Grade guarantee. Go anywhere with your Outpost vehicle-mounted hammock stand and leave the worries at home.
Grab and Go Travel Bag
The Outpost is a portable hammock stand that packs down to the size of a collapsible camp chair and easily fits in the trunk of a small SUV.
Mantis Features
Trail Ready
With a 100% recycled, bluesign® approved breathable hammock body, integrated insect net, and featherlight rainfly, the Mantis all-in-one hammock tent lightens your pack and takes your camping experience off the ground. The Mantis all-in-one hammock system is smaller than your sleeping bag and lighter than a 1-person tent, offering a lightweight respite for hikers on trail.
Integrated Insect Net
Mantis’s Dragonet™ is an integrated bugnet that zips into the hammock body from head to toe and offers complete protection fromany and all insects. Dragonet™ features built-in pockets to keep your phone, headlamp, and trail snacks close at hand, as well as a black mesh Stargazer™ panel that turns virtually transparent at night for an exceptional view of the night sky.
All-weather versatility
The included rainfly offers maximum protection from wind, rain, snow, and sun. Plus, Mantis’s two compartment stuff sack allows you to tuck the rainfly away separately to keep the rest of your hammock tent dry after a wet night. Mantis’s versatile three-part system allows you to pack what you need and leave the rest at home to save weight and put more miles on the trail.
60-second set-up
Lighter than your tent and easier to set up, the Mantis™ hammock tent takes camp setup to 60 seconds with a knotless suspension. The structural ridgeline takes the guesswork out of the perfect hang, allowing you to get that crucial 30-degree angle every time you pitch camp. Early morning starts just became easier, too, with a quick and easy tear down.
Customize Your Setup
Mantis is fully compatible with our full line of insulation, with six exterior and eight interior gear loops for easily attaching our Pongo sleeping pad, Puffin pillow, blankets, and insulated trail quilts. Additionally, the Mantis Gear Loft and Ridgeline Organizer add-on accessories allow for maximum storage at camp.
Responsible Made
The nylon fabric used to create our Mantis hammock body is 100% recycled and bluesign® approved. That means not only are we lowering our carbon footprint, but we’re also ensuring the safety of our factory workers and customers by guaranteeing that no harmful dyes or chemicals are used to create this product.
Adventure Grade Guarantee
As always, our Mantis is backed by our lifetime guarantee. We took material bound for the landfill and ensured that it lived on in a high-quality product that will stand up to the test of time.
Mantis Gear Loft Features
Efficient organization
The Gear Loft utilizes the peaks of the Mantis hammock tent to maximize the available space and your storage capabilities. Sized for slightly bulkier items, the Gear Loft is the perfect place for essentials that don’t fit in your Ridge organizer overhead.
Easy-to-find storage
The mesh hood and base of the Gear Loft make it easy to find the gear stored inside. No more bottomless pits.
Mantis integration
The Gear Loft easily attaches to the Mantis gear loops and ridgeline. When packing, the Gear Loft can collapse with the Mantis to keep it secured for next time.
Mantis Gear Loft Features
Overhead organization at camp
Your days of struggling in and out of your hammock to get camp essentials are over–meet the Ridge Line + Organizer. Keep your headlamp, phone, pocket knife and more conveniently overhead all night long. Slide the organizer closer to your head or feet with tensioners and hooks. It’s easy to adjust, and a cinch to set up.

Outpost Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Outpost mount on my vehicle?
The stock mounting hardware included with every Outpost is designed to fit the majority of roof rack systems, but it is not 100% universal. See our compatibility blog for more details.
Can I hang things from my Outpost?
We do not recommend hanging anything beyond small accessories such as string lights or a tarp from the horizontal crossbar. The “A” frame telescoping legs can support larger accessories and products.
Can I hang a tarp over the Outpost horizontal bar?
You can use the horizontal bar of the Outpost as a ridgeline to hang a tarp, such as the Kuhli weather shelter or the weather shelter included with the Mantis all-in-one hammock tent.
What is the tallest or shortest vehicle the Outpost can be mounted to?
The vehicle roof rack that you want to mount your Outpost to should be no taller than 80 inches and no shorter than 50 inches.
Can I leave the Outpost mounted on my vehicle when I drive?
You can leave the mount attached, but we do not suggest you drive with the bars attached.
Can I mount the Outpost to something that isn’t a vehicle? Like a wall or tree?
No. The mounting equipment is only compatible with a vehicle with a roof rack.
How many Outpost hammock stands can I attach to my vehicle?
The amount of Outpost hammock stands that can be mounted to your vehicle is dependent on your attachment points and the weight rating of your vehicle's roof. Crossbars commonly have a weight rating of 165 lbs. If you are using light duty crossbars or stock crossbars that came on your vehicle, be sure to check the rating before installing your Outpost.
How have you configured the Outpost stand so I can achieve the optimum hang?
The Outpost comes with a short set of straps very similar to our Python straps. These straps have the same loops along their length for setting the Hammock in the desired position.
For adjusting the height, particularly with taller vehicles, you can telescope the legs, which will result in the structural ridgeline being at an angle. This is ok. Then offset the hammock, on the straps on the loops, further in one direction or to one side than the other. This will position the Hammock for the desired hang.
For mounting the ball joint, you will need a "hard point" to either clamp onto or bolt into. The included mounting kit can be setup in a variety of configurations. The most common setup is a set of Crossbars, but compatibility ranges from Crossbar stay racks, to basket style, to base/platform style systems. You can even mount to a wall or tree with a few after market nuts and bolts!
Care
- - Do not hang more than 10 lbs. from horizontal bar.
- - Stake out or remove hammock in high windy conditions.
Mantis Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mantis hammock tent treated with water repellents?
The Mantis hammock body is water resistant, made from our GravitasX™ 40D diamond ripstop nylon treated with a DWR waterproofing to repel moisture. The Mantis rainfly is waterproof, made from our Patagium™ 15D diamond ripstop nylon with a 1,500 Sil/PU treatment.
Why are there loops along the sides of the Mantis hammock tent?
Gear loops are for quick access to gear. Attach a trail quilt, water bottle, headlamp, stuff sack, kendama, or any gear you always want ready. For hammock campers, these gear loops are an excellent way to keep your hammock underquilt or top quilt in place. Our Mantis pairs well with our line of trail quilts—check out the Firebelly 30, Bobcat 45, and Arctos 20.
How are the hammock body fabrics of the Mantis and Mantis Ultralight different?
The Mantis hammock body is made from our GravitasX™ 40D diamond ripstop nylon which is 100% Recycled, and bluesign® approved with DWR waterproofing + crinkle treatment. The Mantis Recycled fabric has an extra softening treatment and a 500lb weight capacity. The Mantis UL hammock body is made from our Levitas™ 20D nylon diamond ripstop fabric, which is then coated with a DWR. The Mantis UL fabric is lighter weight and more breathable with a 300lb weight capacity. The different fabric weights and treatments make for a different hand feel, but both hammocks are quite comfortable!
