It’s survived two kids and I don’t know how many vacations/work trips. Unless I am flying somewhere, my bed comes with me.
The bag that it came with sucks. It’s a little heavy, fine to lug up to a hotel room or out to a park, but I wouldn’t go hiking with it.
I just couldn’t see the point in the turtle stand. It costs more to make than buying the Amazon one, has a big long heavy middle pole, takes up a lot of space. IDK, maybe I’m missing something, but the cheap amazon stand is easy, simple and lasts forever.

I've got the one by "Best Choice" that is a few bucks cheaper but looks to be identical (they even offer the same hammock I got with mine), aside from not having square feet on the bottom of the legs.
I've only used it outdoors a couple of times, but I sleep in it indoors most nights for almost 2 years now and it's never let me down. For outdoors though, I think /u/RecreationalAsshole is on the money with the turtledog stand.
Are you using it how it's designed to be used like shown in this image? I can see that being the difference between hitting the bar and not.
You can look at Best choice hammock stand + Double hammock combination. Best choice stands are best selling hammock stands. Another option is to check out Vivere Hammock + Stand combo(would be costlier but also very popular)
