How to set up the Onewind 11’ zipper hammock.

[@gmackuk]

Probably the best, precise, clear, and informative post I have seen demonstrating a Hammock, and one of the few to breakdown the hammock and clearly demonstrate the procedure 10/10 Sir thank you

[@reallifeadventures4671]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback. Have a wonderful day.

You know he has kids. Clean and clear explaining. I like No nonsense information. This guy is not selling the product. The product is selling itself. Subscribing and hope to see anymore products you care to share.

[@reallifeadventures4671]

I truly appreciate the compliment and comments. If there is a piece of gear you would like to see, please let me know. I may have it. Lol

This is an incredibly done video. As someone who doesn't really do backpacking, but has to get his daughter ready to do an overnight in a hammock, this is going to be unbelievably helpful.

[@reallifeadventures4671]

I'm extremely happy that you found the video so useful. I hope you all enjoy your time camping. Happy hanging

[@Stod1988]

Now THIS is how you make a How To video. Thanks a lot. Can't wait to receive my order now.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy your hammock as much as I do mine.

This is the best explanation of a product I have ever seen. Very concise and to the point while showing each feature. Jason gets a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating on this review.

[@reallifeadventures4671]

Thank you very much. I truly appreciate the view and comment. Have a wonderful day.

[@shepparo]

I have to agree, this is one of the best beginner introductions videos I've seen, not just camping-related but related to anything. What makes the difference is that Jason doesn't assume you know anything, and he also doesn't dwell on anything longer than necessary. Not sure why this channel has so few subscribers, but I am going to be checking out the other videos.

Just bought this very hammock, arrives tomorrow. I feel so much more prepared. What an incredibly informative video. Thanks!

[@justinbradford762]

Nice video. I have the same hammock and love it. 1 thing I did that you may be interested it. I tied a piece of cordage to my foot end net zipper and then tied a carabiner to the other end. I can get in with it unzipped, pull the cord to zip up, and then clip that carabiner to the ridge line. Great cheap addition for those midnight half asleep bathroom breaks.

[@reallifeadventures4671]

That is a great idea. I am definitely not flexible enough to set up an reach the other end. 🤣

[@MrEpikur]

Well done, a really good video in every point.

[@reallifeadventures4671]

[@alkydah6741]

I have a Dutchware Chameleon and thought I was happy with it. Problem is I'm 6'4" and was pondering a longer, wider lay thinking it would be more comfortable. Heard great things about Onewind and got the 12ftr zippered (Tempest). I have it set up in my rec room and I absolutely LOVE it! Just as nice as the cottage industry ones for half the price. This is my new go to hang.

[@Richard-Seekingwulf]

I also have the dutchware chameleon that hangs in my bedroom but I'm thinking about getting a second hammock but I think I'm going to get a second hammock and it'll probably be this one because like you say one one privates are top-notch at half the price

[@alkydah6741]

@@Richard-Seekingwulf you should. good stuff. Since my original post, I also got their top of the line underquilt and topquilt and their rainfly. they are killing it!

[@reallifeadventures4671]

Thank you very much.

[@HuggyBearHikes]

I use Dutchware Clips on the end of the strap to make fast hookup to the tree. I also have their underquilt without the blanket option. It worked great down to 42 degrees. I recently ordered the blanket that clips to the underquilt and hopefully that will be good down to 30deg.

[@richharris9036]

Great explanation and clear instructions. Great video good sir!

Thank you. Happy hanging.

[@RicMor200]

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.

[@reallifeadventures4671]

Thank you for the comment. Do you use a static Ridgeline on your hammock?

[@RicMor200]

@@reallifeadventures4671 My hammock came with a static ridgeline but I changed it to a whoopie sling made out of Zing It. So, it's nice and adjustable, and very lightweight.

Great review... I've been in A Onewind 11 foot hammock for two years now and they are awesome... Basically every weekend since March this year but maybe four or five so I have spent many nights in mine and they hold up well...Over 300 miles on the AT this year so they have some awesome gear and are very affordable...

[@reallifeadventures4671]

Thank you. My first piece of Onewind gear was a set of tree straps and cinch buckles. Once I seen the quality for the price, I just continued buying their gear. Happy hanging.

[@micahpowers2614]

Holy shit. Thats a fantastic video haha. Everything was so well explained. I ordered tge 12 ft non zippered onewind hammock on accident thinking it was the zippered one. I returned it and got the zippered versiom on the way. Im looking forward yo testing it out. I like camping but i hate the sleeping part haha. Hopefully a hammock helps that out a bit. Thanks for the great video!

Awesome set up video, way better than the one on Onewind web site. Waiting for mine to come in but will watch this again before my first set up (maybe a couple of times LOL). Looking forward to more gear/how to videos. Noticed that you didn't use the side shock cord tie outs, also noticed you didn't have a problem without them, just curious about your thoughts about them.

I just got this hammock and it´s my first one. Can´t wait to try it out! Thank you for making this video, it was very straight forward and interesting to watch! Do you actually use those aluminium stakes that came with it? Greetings from Austria

[@reallifeadventures4671]

I did use the stakes the first couple times I started using a Hammock . However, I no longer use the stakes now that I know how to properly lay at an angle. It is really just user preference though. Once you do a few overnighters, you will find what is comfortable for you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and got something out of it. Have a great day.

[@-nok]

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!

can you use whoopie slings on this Hammock?

Yes you can. It comes with the cinch sling set-up on it, however you could change that to a whoopie sling if you would like. Onewind sells a whoopie sling as well.

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

Onewind sent me the wrong hammock. I ordered the 12' zipper hammock and they sent me one with out a zippered bug net and a bug net that has a draw string in the bottom. I contacted them today but haven't got a message back. I will wait a day or two before trying again. ☹

[@reallifeadventures4671]

I'm sorry to hear that. I ended up giving the zipper hammock to my son and I use my original 12 foot one with the bugnet like you received. I prefer the bottom entry bugnet over the zipper system, In my son prefers the zipper system. Like anything with a hammock system, it is all personal preference. I hope you get it all worked out.
