Lela Cargill has a great tip to hang our hammocks. Thanks Lela
Use a soft braided rope, 2 pieces - about 5 to 10 ft. long each
piece. Loop one piece through each hoop on the hammock so that the two ends of the
rope are free. (fold the rope in half, put the middle of the rope in the hammock hoop,
then pass the two end pieces through the part of the rope sticking up through the hammock
hoop, pull tight).
Do the same for the other end of the hammock with the other piece of
rope. Now you should have two loose ends of rope on each end of the hammock.
Find 2 trees about 8 to 10 feet apart. Tie the two ends of rope from each
side of the hammock around the trunk and secure with a square knot - left end over right
end and under, right over left and under. This is a standard scouting knot
that tightens well and loosens when you push the ropes together. To see a diagram of
this knot, go to: http://www.grand-forks.k12.nd.us/~wilder/kdiagrams.html
Slip knots are nice, but someone can come along and untie you causing a nasty fall!
Hang the hammock body about waist high to allow for the stretching of
the ropes. Enjoy!
