Madera Outdoor Brand Ambassador
A few weeks ago I was chosen to be a Brand Ambassador for Madera Outdoor. You may have seen their colorful hammocks popping up over the internet! Whenever a hammock is purchased, Madera, along with Trees.org, plant trees in Sengal, Camaroon, Cambodia, Tanzania, & Uganda. Because hammocks need trees, two trees are planted whenever someone buys a Madera hammock. How cool is that? I have the Azul hammock and I cannot wait to go camping so I can try it out! The bag comes with a small stuff sack, which makes it perfect for backpacking. Interested in your own Madera hammock? Use code JMAS40 for 40% of your order!
