Gotta contest that first point. If you're aiming to do some serious camping in a hammock, having a suspension ridgeline, skewed diamond lay with tie-outs, high-quality material and zippers, and whoopie-sling suspension all make a drastic difference in comfort, flexibility, durability, weight, and setup/teardown. I can suspend between some *exceptionally* wide tree gaps, lay comfortably flat, and all of it rolls right out or in to my hammock's bag while it's hanging! (Except the rain fly of course.)

I think the no venting is the biggest reason to NOT buy this tent. I’d rather carry another pound and be dry in the morning.

I just learned another cool tip for even quicker set up of the daisy chain straps. Instead of sliding the strap through the daisy chain, use a carabiner and attach it to the loop, then open the clip and place the daisy chain strap through the carabiner. Quick on and off. Did you talk about under quilts in maybe another video? Skillet

I am sure young people can survive just anything. More expensive hammocks provide comfort. Longer hammocks over supermarket ones. More careful people usually set the tarp first and keep it in some sort of a sleeve. Underquilts are more comfortable than sleeping mats, but obviously more expensive and sometimes harder to set up... it takes practice. As some other people pointed out, a hammock with a ridgeline allows for a more consistent experience.

sick video :) whats the name of the trial/camping spot? thanks

Thank you!

Finally a review that truth tells and that was not bought and paid for.

I weigh 70kg and use the cam XT as my hammock AND rainfly fastener. I use straps like yours, but they are shorter and both ends clip into the Cam XT

As a new hammock camper, this is by far the best no-nonsense video on pretty much everything I need to know or had questions on. thanks

Thank you for the video! I learned a lot from this. cant wait to go out on my first hammock overnight.

Great job dude 👍

What about a ridge line for hammock. How do they work. ❤

Where is the forest very beautiful. Thanks for video

Thank you Peter for sharing your expertise in setting up hammock. I learned a lot from you. Now I'm ready to educate my students regarding this exciting outdoor activity

Say... I wonder if I could make that tree strap out of rope?🤔

Feral Denver had a 50$ eno hammock for 14$

Can you link to the products you bought?

Excellent tips, thank you! Where do you store your gear? Mari

Just learning on the hammock thing. By far the most to the point,useful and helpful video I could find. So tired of the overcomplicated ,can’t hear and definitely not funny others have posted. Ya nailed it. Thank you , I’m on me way

This is a loop hike around 5040 Mountain. Up the original NW Trail from the double bridge on Marion Main to the summit and down via Cobalt Lake to the Effingham TH further along Marion Main. Then they got a ride back to their truck. Lovely story, but as others have said, it might have been good to know exactly where they were and what they were doing.

To everyone asking what hike this is… It’s in the description. The name is numbers.

My hammock is a section of badminton net with two lines secured with bowlines., an Army poncho for my tarp. I’ve slept warm down to -30 in the Plains, with a bag only. Learn knots and you can make your own.

550 cord with two clove hitches has worked decades for me, lighter and cheaper too.

Learn to make knots. No need for those clips.

Cheers Peter...Good tips...best wishes from the UK 😉

Good video!

Interesting. What is the weight?

Shows at the end of the video, 5040 peak, Port Alberni area

where is this spot? so beautiful

this is how i found out ive been using my tree straps wrong......

Kiddo get Ridgeline made from edema 1# and an under quilt. !! And a good 13 by 9 rain Trap !!, Kiddo you have a lot more to learn About hammock camping. !!,

If you're doing a setup vid best set it up correctly lmao, hole in the tip and the entire thing is inside out

Having the over whelming urge to mountain climb but living in Florida is a very frustrating feeling

I imagine the rain water would be running down your ropes into the hammock? I dont knw, im a beginner

Thank you for sharing this. Im going to do a roadbike trip in italy for 2 weeks and I will bring a hammok

Despite the initial struggle - I think that came out great! 👍🏼👍🏼

What time of the year was this?

Awesome video, you got me stoked to buy a hammock and try some camping.

What trail are you on ? :)

Nice video. Will you please post where you are and if it is part of a larger trail system?

I'm 270lbs at 6'. Are these viable for me?

It a sketchy hike eh! You better have eaten those thimbleberries at the beginning! Best berry ever. I hiked this and have a video on my channel too!

The problem that I've found with the cheaper daisy chain straps is that the stitching holding the loops together can break. You won't hit the ground when one breaks loose but it's a bit of a shock.

👍👍👍 P.S: I feel for your girlfriend though.....

The link to the hammock on Amazon already includes the same straps. Is there any issue with these straps and carabiners ?

Just ordered the cam jams! Thanks for the tip!

Set the opposite => Polish lavvu manual th-cam.com/video/-exmceA7PkM/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for that. I found your tutorial more helpful than the one made by the manufacturer.

A 15’ strap isn’t going to cut it in the PNW/BC where this video is filmed. You may have a perfectly sized tree and then a 5’ diameter one. Finding two perfectly sized trees at the right distance apart is extremely fortuitous there. For now, I use a couple 22’ sections of 5/8” tubular webbing. I loop it around the carabiner a couple times and then do an overhand with a loop of what remains to make a quick release. Doesn’t slip, but is easy to untie. And you can easily adjust the length and then tie it off again. Might try some dyneema for less stretch, but so far, it doesn’t stretch any more than my typical daisy chain hammock straps.

Thanks! I never done hammock campaign but I am ready now after your video!
