At around ~10:17, when talking about having a ridgeline and not needing to adjust the straps height on the tree itself, i think that would still put undue stress on the system, if it was too flat. Some people recommend 20-30 degrees if you put your thumb parallel to the tree and point down the strap towards the hammock. Otherwise the "felt" weight on parts of the straps or buckles/carabiners could be more than your actual weight on the hammock. "Adventures with the Marine" channel on their video 'Q&A / Episode #2 / Hanging your hammock / Why the 30-degree angle / Hammock Ridgeline explain it in a bit too much detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHu4YmeEl9Vqeq8 Otherwise great video man, keep it up!

Thank you for the video. I am trying to decide between the gear hammock and the backpack cover deer hammock. One is waterproof one is just water resistant. Both show that you can use them as a chair or chair swing. Have you tried setting that up? I asked One what the weight rating was for a person and they just told me some nonsense about the leader size and I tried to tell them that that’s about the volume not about the weight. Then they gave me some numbers to try and convert and what they gave me basically said 44 pounds maximum and I’ve seen videos where people were sitting in it but I’m a bigger dude. Have you tried setting it up as a chair or swing? 😢

Awesome video. Clear and to the point. I realize it's one year old but the info is still relevant. The only additional comment I would make is about tree spacing. In my case the tarp determines whether the trees are too close or just right. If I can fit the tarp perfectly taut between the trees, then I know I can fit my hammock. All my tarps are 12 feet long, so I know that the trees have to be at least 12.5', however 13' or 14' is much better. The next thing to do is come up with a quick method to gauge the tree distance without having to rig up the tarp and hammock to find out. Some people do a pace count (X number of paces equals the length of the tarp) This works just find on flat ground, but not so much on an incline. I know the pace count for my tarps, but since I usually take trekking poles with me, I use them to measure the tree space, and that's just quicker and easier. I know that 120cm on each pole, plus the length of my arms spread out is about the length of my tarp. I stand between the two trees and hold my poles up spreading my arms to about shoulder height, with the tips pointing to each tree. If I can touch the trees with the tips, then the space is too short for the tarp, and I have to look for a better spot. If there's a bit of clearance then the tarp will fit. On the flip side of that, if the clearance is greater than 4 feet on either side, I know the trees are too far apart, so I either look for a better place or try to hang the webbing suspension as high up as possible on each tree.

Nice. Do you have one of these on each side of the canoe? The reason I ask is that I would like to be able to deploy 2 anchors when out by myself. One at the bow and one at the stern. I have had the experience that on a lake, the wind will pivot me on my anchor point. This makes some kinds of fishing difficult because you can not properly detect the bites. I would like to use a second anchor so that I can stay in the position I want. With two people in the boat this is easy. But by myself I would need a system like this to deal with an anchor towards the front. Thanks

No, I only have the one set up. I'm sure having two of them set up the way you are talking about would definitely hold you in a position like you want.
