The set is not all that you need for a nominal use of a hammock. It should be something else.
First, there are four (or two) pegs. You can make them by hand from scrap materials, and can take from those that are sold together in a tent. I wear a hat with aluminum pegs in the form of a hook. Would be better if stakes are sufficiently strong.
Why four or two? Because on one peg you can hang and delaying the curtain and the compensator. But I myself do not do it. When each rope on his peg it more reliable.

Brazil – stunningly beautiful and diverse country. For everyone who arrives in Brazil, it will “own”, but never the same. So gifts that bring out people, the most diverse but, nevertheless, there are things that reflect the national colors of Brazil. About them and should talk first.
Undoubtedly, the most popular and coveted tourist souvenirs – Indian products from stone, wood, leather and other materials. It is believed that such products, if they are made by hands of these Indians may be a good talisman or amulet, attracting force. In such cases, most often selected mascots made of mahogany – Pau Brasil (incidentally, in his honor and named the country). Especially appreciated figure in the form of fig (fig). Do not see it as a joke or a hoax. Quite the contrary – it is a symbol, holding off evil spirits and bringing good luck. But superstitious people can be a bit uncomfortable with the mysterious magic of the Indians. In this case they (or you) will approach one of the most popular Brazilian jewelry – bracelets woven fabric. Such a bracelet made to wrap around your wrist three times – for good luck.
Very popular and widely known action is the Brazilian Carnival, whose history begins in the XVII century. Due to the fact that the festivities and take part in it all, buy a carnival costume will have no difficulty. This costume will help you immerse yourself in the holiday atmosphere, and can be a great gift to your friends and acquaintances.

Strongly advise you to pay attention to the various handmade lace and colorful Brazilian dresses, hand-painted, which we so often can be seen in the Brazilian soap operas. Traditionally, these things do in the north-east of the country, but you can stumble on them and in other regions. Clothing, swimwear and various souvenirs you can buy a weekly Sunday fair Hippie in Rio de Janeiro.
One of the biggest purchases that are worth doing in Brazil, – various precious and semiprecious stones. Here they are particularly good and significantly cheaper than, say, in USA. They are mined near Rio, and the range of choice is very wide: diamonds, emeralds, opals, amethysts, topaz, aquamarine, tourmaline, turquoise, and some others. Especially worth mentioning Brazilian aquamarines – they are very highly regarded jewelry artists. It is also very high quality and delicious products are made of cut glass.
In this age of stress and load all need some rest and relax. Of course, there are myriad ways to reach a state of pacification and calmness. But, undoubtedly, one of the best and nice – just lie down and do nothing. Here in Brazil, just know a lot about “lying” and “doing nothing”. As you may know, Brazil, and more precisely its northern part, is home to the hammocks. Hammock – excellent “place” to relax, that’s why Brazilian hammock is the same brand, as well as Russian vodka. In Brazil, widespread woven hammocks, which, incidentally, contrary to prevailing stereotypes, still more popular than woven. Woven hammocks surpass hurdle in many ways. First, they are much stronger, sometimes they put up to five people! Yes, do not be surprised, there are some family, hammocks.

Restaurant "Hammock"
As you can see, the hammock can be an excellent purchase and gift, for example, to newlyweds. Anyway anyone would be pleased to hang a hammock anywhere in the cottage and soak for an hour or two. In addition, Brazilian hammocks are very beautiful. On the canvas (and made it, by the way, from 100% cotton) can be woven into different patterns. Most often, of course, is different traditional Indian ornaments. Colors for such patterns have been carefully chosen, and this is followed not only the weavers, but also specific artists. Particular attention in the manufacture of the hammock, paid fringe. Hammock without fringe in Brazil is considered a “hammock for the poor.” Fringe is still made by hand from the Brazil nut. Because it is doing and-loop straps that attach to the hammock for a special hook. Sometimes, making a hammock takes from three to five months! You’ll make an unforgivable mistake, if a trip to Brazil and do not bring out the hammock, and a better couple to be, what to give to friends. Believe me, they will appreciate such a gift.
An unusual and pleasant souvenir can become a bottle of rum. Actually, strictly speaking, Cachaca – it’s nothing else like cane liquor, but on the table it will look very exotic. Cachaca – an integral part of culture of Brazil, so at the state level, it was decided to give Cachaça status commercial name spirits. Brazilians are clearly distinguished from the hacienda and rum factory production. Rum factory, of course, to get easier, but with Cachaça hacienda is valued more. It is made from crushed sugar cane, there is added to ferment corn flour, wheat bran, rice, soybeans or corn. Distillation of this rum is only a copper distillation cubes. Subsequently it is stored in wooden casks. The industrial mode of production – more than a quick and easy, and stored in wooden barrels Cachaça factory and not exposed. Good Cachaca tastes like brandy or whiskey, and the color – a weak tea with lemon. Cachaça is also used in a special cocktail – Caipirinha. Learn how to cook it very easy – you need lime, sugar, ice and, in fact, Cachaça. So if your friends or yourself, do not like strong drinks (and Cachaça by degrees approximately smooth “our” vodka), then you can surprise all original and delicious cocktail. But connoisseurs of alcoholic beverages can think of to draw attention to the rum.
And, of course, Brazil – a recognized leader in the production of coffee. That she is a pioneer in providing for the needs of the planet that drink. It began to grow coffee in the early XVI century. Brazil supplies the coffee for all tastes. Brazilian coffee relatively inexpensive. So there will be, from which to choose a gift for real coffee connoisseurs. And for myself would be superfluous to fall a few packages of good Brazilian coffee.
I want to warn you that in almost every part of Brazil traveler may encounter an offer to buy a very cheap price monkey, parrot, or even some livestock. Do this by no means impossible, as to remove the animal from a country without a whole heap of certificates, permits and quarantines you are unlikely to succeed. In general, it is considered a crime in Brazil heavier armed robbery! The same applies to traditional Indian jewelry made from feathers of exotic birds, armadillo shell, claws jaguars and similar materials. Manufacture such items for their “internal” needs the tribes, the leading traditional lifestyles is permitted in any quantity, but to sell the Indians have the right only under special state licenses, and then only to cultural institutions – museums and so on.
Of course a pity that you can not bring all of Brazil, to take all thence curios. But even a small part of them can affect anyone, but their purchase will give you great pleasure. Pleasant shopping and unusual discoveries!
