How to hang a hammock indoors

[@MikeM-zp2pv]

A Caution: From what I've read you should only use a stainless steel carabiner to attach your hammock to the eye hooks. Using one made out of lightweight materials can damage the carabiner.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Though I've never had problems or have ever visually seen any damage to the BD Neutrino carabiners on the eye hooks I primarily use the heavy steel carabiners when hanging indoors. Thanks though. I've read the same but like I said never seen any damage.

[@joshuah322]

I ran into a issue with plain old carabiners i got from the hardwear store were they would rub agenst the eye hooks and eventually breaking because I didn't notice the issue happening. I wish I read this before i started me indoor hammock adventure. Xd

[@SouthpawPablo]

I think that only applies to high moisture environments but I could be wrong

[@stevemcwilliams8680]

For the non-handyman. Studs are 1-1/2" wide or 3/4" to the center from either side. A good magnet can help find the drywall screws and save you on the stud finder. Sometimes walls are 24" on center, especially for interior walls or non load bearing walls.

[@wrkAhaLik247]

YESSSS!! Thank YOU!

[@danik6393]

I know this is a super old video - but OMG THANK YOU. I am literally going to the Depot right now. I have been thinking about doing this for a while now. I have brand new Chameleon and UGQ Zeppelin I have been dying to play with. (I instantly fell in love with hammock camping last year. Best sleep ever and haven’t looked back or felt bad about it.) *Also going to find a way to hide the eye bolts from a husband who said “No hammocks in the bedroom” then went off to a work thing for a few days. I’m going to sleep like a CHAMP tonight and I can’t wait! 🤗😂

[@danik6393]

@@FrozensAdventures It took me about 15 minutes once I found a drill bit. All set up with the underquilt and everything - which was not as intimidating as I thought it would be. Had to get up before I fell asleep (this UQ is going to be SO perfect for the NPT 🤗) Thank you again!!!

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I always use stainless 3/8 eye bolts with a minimum of 2" threads...and a 1/4" drill bit. I run corner to corner of the room. It works great! Thanks for the vid...

[@FrozensAdventures]

yea I think that's what I used as well. Sounds familiar at least.

[@AB-lx8ss]

i followed step by step and tonight will be my first night sleeping on my hammock (replacing my bed)....will report back in a few weeks to update. Thank you

[@FrozensAdventures]

Enjoy!

[@equilskateboarding7676]

How'd it go?

[@frogbite]

i think bro is still sleeping

[@SoyYoshi91b]

You good brother? Sleep was too good

[@AB-lx8ss]

lol. It was amazing. During storms was epic

[@paulahavens2764]

This was a great video and I was really impressed with how you did it. I was wondering how to do this now I know. Thanks again for sharing and have fun on the trails that you travel along.

[@Vincesissoko]

A big thank you !!.. from France

[@FrozensAdventures]

You are welcome!

[@ragnardanneskjold7259]

Or, instead of buying a stud finder, you can just feel along the wall and knock gently with your knuckles. When it sounds solid, you've found your stud.

[@laurencollin99]

Much safer tho😂😂

[@ragnardanneskjold7259]

@@laurencollin99 Depends on what kind of "stud" you're looking for. 😁

[@jessiee2115]

It's important to find the center of the stud given the weight load, best use a finder to be as accurate as possible.

[@Darkside.177]

@@ragnardanneskjold7259 you shall put it where it goes like a + sing and you put it over the middle a lil so it dont break out you wall and it's way more stronger

[@hikewithmike4673]

cool idea, I am still a traditionalist, love my tents, worry about having to sleep on my back not a position that is comfortable for me..but I would rather test it out at home then out in the woods first,,,great info!

[@FrozensAdventures]

I sleep on my side in my hammock 50% of the time. I cant sleep on my back in a bed but I can fall right to sleep in the hammock.

[@buckeyechick75]

Thank you! I’m excited to hang mine!

[@kimm123]

Thank you so much, I learned a lot today .

[@FrozensAdventures]

Good good!

[@vbsk8]

Will this work if you put the eye hooks on the furthest sides of a corner space

[@vbsk8]

Idk if that made sense

[@FrozensAdventures]

As long as it's far enough yes but I'd recommend using the calculator for a better hang.

[@justheman3720]

Supper helpful thank you!

[@kaimetso7045]

Just wondering if I could put this into the corner of a room because that's the best fit for me

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yes my new house is smaller than the one in this video. Just drill in at an angle for your eye bolts. Make sure you are getting in the stud at at least a 45 degree angle.

[@coledouglass3671]

Thank you! Video was very helpful!!

[@lissaestes7017]

Question- can I hang a hammock from the 2 xbox 4 rafters in my unfinished basement?

[@isaiahstinnett532]

you got a hard ass system

[@vincent513]

Any way to set it up in a dorm room without drilling into the walls?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Not that I know of unless you have perfectly spaced bed posts and even then it probably isn't stable.

[@casper6532]

There are frames that hold up hammocks

[@gaelaguilar3358]

Where can I find the heavy duty eye bolt I’ve looked for em they are all a lot smaller

[@FrozensAdventures]

Home improvement store. I got mine at home depot.

[@Nicothekitten]

thanks

[@titanisnuclear4197]

How many pounds can it hold

[@143yaknow]

I need it to be longer, should I add my rope between the eyehook and carabineer, or between my carabineer and hammock?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Take a look at whoopie slings or cinch buckles and straps. Allows for easy adjustment up and down without ropes.

[@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness]

I weigh 230 lbs. could this work for me?

[@naterostoni4799]

nice penguins stuff

[@FrozensAdventures]

Thanks!

[@naterostoni4799]

Outdoor Adventures yep

[@johnlord8337]

MAN CAVE ! MAN CAVE!!!!!

[@Ahlis369]

ive got all i need but i dont understand why there has to be a suspension length, please help

[@Musikministeren]

can you hang your hammock diagonal inside or is that too much strain on the walls...???

[@Musikministeren]

its not a lot more stress on the studs when is weight is pulling sideways...???

[@FrozensAdventures]

Studs can support a lot.

[@Musikministeren]

do you have any idear how much...???

[@michaelhorn9114]

I drilled into my top plates for the lags- 5.5 inch,on an angle so that I caught both top plates. I used to frame houses. No way would I trust wall studs.

[@malikaivillatte9065]

Michael Petersen you seem pretty scared I suggest you just don’t do it 😂

[@alexiawhitecloud1238]

What if the beams are metal?

[@deuceyd8468]

How do you know you are drilling in the center of a stud and not into the side?

[@leonardmillsjr.3241]

Been thinking seriously about replacing my bed with my warbonnet blackbird-lol.

[@michaelhorn9114]

I don't have a black bird but I do have a pretty nice double hammock hanging in my bedroom. I'm constantly in it! Love it!

[@CalPhillips]

Hey Frozen. I just did a hike over the weekend and the guys I was with both had hiking poles. I'm think I want to get some and I was wondering if you have any recommendations? I know you had the Black Diamond Distance Z poles but I was wondering if you're still using them or not.

[@FrozensAdventures]

I am still using them but I've heard stories from AT thru hikers that say BD's customer service blows. I don't have any experience with their support though. But if i was going to get another set of poles right now I'd go with Leki. Any cheap model will due.

[@CalPhillips]

Outdoor Adventures awesome, thanks man. Looking forward to more videos!

[@fuzzyiguana]

Hey Cal & Jason, Maybe this will be of some help. I have the Leki Corklite Antishock poles. Their speedlock system is rock solid and they have above average customer service. I broke a poll swatting at a raccoon that chased me. Funny, kinda - scary - yes. They replaced it for cost of shipping only. My wife has the Leki Cressida Antishock poles. They are the exact same as mine - just a women's version.

[@fuzzyiguana]

Jason, I'm looking at EE quilts - do you have the 10D MEMBRANE fabric or 20D option? What are your thoughts on durability - I have a pretty serious concern using the 10D for an UQ. Appreciate the feedback. -Fuzzy

[@FrozensAdventures]

I have the 20d outer layer for my UQ. I was worried about brush snags under the hammock. Sometimes I get to campsites late and don't want to clear stuff. Durability has been fine but a thorn isn't going to care what denier your UQ is.

[@fuzzyiguana]

A thorn is a pain in everything. I've sent EE an email as to what this 20D material actually is. I'm wondering if it's a 1.0 HyperD that is calendered...anyhow - thank you for the quick reply. I'm a subscriber and always look forward to your videos. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@FrozensAdventures]

Happy Thanksgiving to you my friend. GL with your quilt

[@elygale2001]

I totally sleep in my indoor hammock when I'm having trouble sleeping in my bed too. Nice job on the video! Always enjoy seeing what you are putting out there. Oh, what hammock is that you have in the video, it looks new?

[@samsmith8870]

LOL Wow that was fast, thanks Bro! Really like the channel, very informative. BTW any idea how much weight those hooks should handle?

[@FrozensAdventures]

I think it's 250lbs.

[@samsmith8870]

each?

[@samsmith8870]

just wondering if i could use it as a love seat with my girl without the wall caving in. She's pretty small lol

[@FrozensAdventures]

+Sam Smith yes it should be. Depends on eye hooks you get.

[@FrozensAdventures]

+Sam Smith should be fine

[@louiewatson9389]

There is no app. At least not for android.

[@JohanAulin]

There was an android app. The website says a new one is in development.

[@darth1235]

Do you play guitar? Looks like you have some serious speakers behind your hammock.

[@FrozensAdventures]

+Darth 12 I used to play a lot. I really should get back into it but never have the attention span anymore sadly.

[@juanis8219]

HELP! I literally CANNOT locate the studs in my walls I used a really strong magnet to try to find them but think I might not have any since the house is so old and it might be a lath and plaster wall. What do I do, can I still hang the hammock?

[@FrozensAdventures]

+Juanita Munevar you can hammer a small nail in at random spots until you hit a stud. You tried a stud finder already? A magnet isn't going to find a wooden stud for you.

[@juanis8219]

Outdoor Adventures I think I might've just found them with a stud finder thanks!

[@giggityeffyou]

They're usually sixteen inches apart so you can start counting from the corner. Another trick I use is just knocking on the wall. Whenever I'm fishing wires through walls, I look for an outlet because outlets are nailed into studs. If you see and outlet on your wall, start knocking in the area and you'll hear one side doesn't sound as hollow. That's the side your stud is on.. I would still recommend a stud finder so you can find the center.

[@joshuah322]

@@giggityeffyou if it's a older it would be 12 inches or do i have that switched around

[@giggityeffyou]

Josh M I'd guess 21 lol. Can't see them going from 12 to 16 for code. Switching it from 21 to 16 sounds more realistic

[@EspenFrafalne]

16inches (~40cm) may be the american standard. Here in Norway, we have 60cm as a standard...

[@FrozensAdventures]

Really? Wow that doesn't create drywall issue?

[@Ahlis369]

my walls are concrete

[@FrozensAdventures]

You can get concrete anchors as well. Going to probably need a hammer drill though.
