Hanging a hammock using a TreeHugger

[askaxis]

these are a good idea, they protect the tree and your hammock rope.

the bark after awhile will eat at rope fibers, also for the limited weight it is quicker and stronger...just sayin!

the lock she made at the end after going through the loop is going to really tighten and will be hard to open in the morning, I'm sure. I like the "S" hook idea though.

[mcsparron]

if you guys put two d rings so that you could tie it with a garda hitch it would be the best thing going... you wouldnt have to sell it with the s hook either....

vallvoodoo, rope would come in handy to give you the length you need. The Tree Huggers provide the "anchor" to whatever hanging post you want to use. Hope this helps

What I dont understand its...what do you do if the trees arent at exactly the right distance apart for the hammock?

[keneyed209]

I don't need to cary more wait then i already have like the man rote learn some knots

[ORBEX]

Why buy and carry all that hardware? Spend 10 minutes learning a couple of appropriate knots and away you go.

@ORBEX I think that the purpose of using the nylon strap, was so it didn't score the tree & leave a mark. It's a good idea & I'm sure any backpacker could innovate this idea to come up with a lighter weight version of the same idea.

If you come up with that, let me know,, I'm serious!
