If you hang two hammocks off one Tensa Solo pole, you may want to bring along some quick-setting cement to secure your anchors.

Not two hammocks on a solo pole. One hammock on two trees and the kid hammock on the same foot tree and the head end on a solo pole with a specific distance, from the tree that dad is hanging on, that will work for bridge hammocks. I guess I wasn’t clear enough.Quote:

Once that is fixed, having two people under a single tarp is pretty straightforward. Most tarps are pretty side and should fit. With ridgerunners, I assume those have a wider footprint in general and require you to bring tarps that are generally wider. For reference, I used a warbonnet superfly without issue.
Fly, with the spreader bars, what one person does, the other will feel. So if you have a person that tosses and turns all night, the other will feel the sway all night. Shouldn’t be an issue as long as you aren’t a super light sleeper.

When my son was small, 2 hammocks on 3 trees with our heads close together was the solution. A big ol blue tarp to cover everything makes sense because the hiking distances are short and the boy can still move around a bit without getting muddy.
For our first trip, I also tied a rope from my hammock to his Ridgeline so he could tug it if needed anything.
Blue tarps get a bad rap on this site, but carrying it for shorter kid hikes is manageable.
