Blue Mammoth Hammocks Hang tough

Our vision at Blue Mammoth Hammocks, which we take very seriously, is to see people of all shapes and sizes spend quality time in nature, learn the value of adventure, and support the next generation in doing the same.

The Light The Fire campaign is about that last part, supporting and inspiring the next generation. We want to light the fire of adventure in today's youth all across the country by outfitting youth groups with hammocks of their own, free of charge. There are many amazing programs that benefit underserved groups all across the world, but because our gear is manufactured overseas, we decided to support our youth right here at home in the US.

We believe that spending time outdoors, especially in the wilderness, creates a greater sense of wonder, excitement, responsibility, and happiness in each of us, and we believe that our kids today need this more than ever. Never before has a generation been so disconnected from nature, from imagination, from adventure, and from good-old-fashioned fun. Kids today have immediate access to endless amounts of digital stimulation that often replaces the desire and need to simply "go outside and play." We want to change that. 

How and Why

Please don't misunderstand us, we are huge fans of modern technology, we are much more able to achieve our vision because of it. We just want to provide kids an opportunity to broaden their horizons (literally) and inspire in them a love for nature and adventure, that's where the Light the Fire campaign comes in.

Each year we outfit youth groups in various communities across the country with their very own Blue Mammoth Spark Hammocks, free of charge; be they Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, church youth groups, or other youth organization. The Spark Hammock is a bug-net hammock patterned after our Blue Mammoth Ultra hammock, just smaller. All the kids in the group get their very own Spark Hammock, complete with straps and carabiners, that is immediately ready to deploy wherever they can find a place to hang. 

We would say that we use a portion of our profits to fund this campaign, but that's just not true. That would put the responsibility of this campaign on YOUR shoulders, the customer, not ours, and that's just not how we operate here.

The truth is, we are doing this whether you buy from us or not, it's that important to us. We are driven by our vision, not our profits. The very first hammocks ever delivered by Blue Mammoth were given away free. We outfitted our first youth long before we ever made a single dime in revenue.

But we do want to say thank you. Thank you for supporting us in this cause. Of course we will use future revenue to continue our campaign and to expand its reach, (we would be silly not to) and that does have a lot to do with you, but even if you choose not to buy from us, we will keep moving forward. We still wish you all the best wherever you go.

Hopefully while you're here though, you will see our vision and gain a little bit of that desire to Light The Fire as well.

Together, we can truly change the world. 

Hang tough!
