Just keep tweaking it all with the Tensa. It can take a few tries but when you get it write down all your Tensa measurements. Ridgeline and footing width. Try hanging foot end with closer and a bit...

Enjoy your hammock quest. Be patient with all the bits and bobs. Good nod to ya'.....

I prefer a zipped burnet full. Then I can zip back in the morn and have coffee from the hammock.

You can wash it in the bathtub. Or take all the suspension off and wash is gentle in the washer. Dry it air dry or hang it. It is just fabric.
Enjoy your hammock quest.

I plan to go to Told & Snaps to dine on some. Have a hotel in town for my first night in town. Will explore a bit. And find a good Bakery to visit. Just wander about and take it in before Hang Con.
Best to you on the search. Change happens. You sure had a lot of good hangs at Yates.

It is getting good coverage over the footed of the Amok that is essential. the ENO Housefly is 8'10" wide and 10'8" long. Might just do the trick.
8' minimum and 16' max hang distance. Could be the ticket.

Sector Seven in Jyderup will be Secure and eating Smørrebrød with knife and fork.
I don't have a Discount Code to share. Just showing the hammock~~
What a fun hammock this is. The UL version is so much lighter now. Though in my comments there are still many who think it too heavy for the Ultra Ultralighter camper. So be it. Chair/Recline mode...
Looking forward to breakfast from the hammock eating Smørrebrød~~~
With a knife and fork of course.

Here is how one guy patched his tear on You Tube. fixed their torn silnylon tarps....https://youtu.be/HFVAbi4sqH0?si=bRRjEVC2n4YphEYY
You could sew then seam seal or rig a patch. Gives the tarp...
Same here Fimbul. Very excited to see some of your country.
I've never slept in my hammock outside of the USA. Hope I get to try Smørrebrød~~~
Whoooooo Buddy))))

[QUOTE=Semiuseless;2097983]You can hang with a single tree AND a strong enough pole and ground anchor. I like a stout down tree as a ground anchor...but YMMV. [QUOTE]
The No Ground Hiking Pole...
I'm going to be attending this Danish Hang. Looking forward to seeing and hanging in Denmark~~
Whooooo Buddy))))

Reminds me a little bit of the Linville Gorge here in North Carolina.

They generally take a bit less of an angle....25 degrees or so.
From Warbonnet site:
Ridgerunner Setup
Ridgerunner setup is similar to the above setup in that you want the foot end of the hammock...
Bridge Hammock......

A few tricks for a good pad experience. But once you go Uq...you will never look back.

Continuous loop on most of mine. And I find them most convenient.

This video shows some good options for hanging off of your vehicle......

I've been hanging hammock off of amsteel loops and Superior Gear buckles for a few years with no bad results. I think you will be just fine. Dogbones are amsteel right..?
Shug
Bridge is still out as far as I know. Some folks cross the rocks down there. All depends on water level. Take heed~

I only ever tie out the bug net over my head but really only at night when I crawl in to sleep. But yes, tie outs can be somewhat inconvenient at times.
This is the bug net off of my Dutchware Chameleon. You can see the shape...

Various degrees of SG hammocks. I was using 30º hammock and 30º Comforter. Jonah had 0º hammock 30º Comforter...all new buy for him so he was excited to try it all.
I loaned Alex 15º hammock and...
That is mighty nice of you...thankee. I ordered one so I'll be good soon. Gotta see what the hype is about.
I concur. Those bottom entry bug nets make "breakfast from the hammock" a pain. But I do have an urge to try one of these Majestics due to the comfort hype.
Shug
It'll get you going.
Bought a few myself in the past....https://youtu.be/b_56W3jdxbY

Whoooooo Buddy))))
Was I gone?

I have a video on that subject that may give you some insight.
And really a double layer is not required for a pad. You can just lay it in the hammock and lay on it.
Enjoy the hammock quest....
I did a video on that subject a while back. Perhaps there will some insight in it for you.
Try a solo! Then you will for sure know if it is for you...or not.

Totally enjoyed your trip briefing. Makes me look forward to a paddle trip come Summer. I like portages almost better than paddling. Shade! And it is a mini backpacking trip. No shade on a lake!!...
It is always a joy once I get out of the Jeep and get ready to go. This trip was fairly mild by our usual Winter standards. You should try it sometime if your gear is up to it. Thankee.
We're boiling in the rain....just boiling in the rain......

My SG Tarp has a 12' ridgeline. Not sure what I said on the video.
I have come to really like my Superior Gear tarp. Great coverage.

TQs weigh a bit less than sleeping bags. No zippers and less fabric. But you can use a sleeping bag in a hammock in TQ mode for ease or try to zip it up which can be a struggle.

I very much enjoyed your briefing. Always enjoyed my several trips to Japan. Hope your legs are on the up and up.

The most difficult was just not being able to do the old day to day talking with Meg. That was the most difficult.
This Winter has made me miss the Winter I usually want to hurry up and end. I still feel Winter will hit us once we all think Spring is upon us!
Been a very odd Winter for sure. I thought for sure there would be a little more snow on the ground back in the woods. Was a spectacular trip all the same.
We had a very good view from that camp...
My vote is the HG Burrow. I have one and it is solid.
Shug
Lots of thick ice but not a lot of deep snow. We had some sub 0ºF temperatures and some wind and some sun and some gloom. Wonderful food and I really needed this trip and enjoyed my time with Alex...
Oh, it is not my method. It was Headchang4u a past member on here. This link is for his original...
Good first one is down Conley Cove...south on Linville River Trail. Especially if your friend is inexperienced. Or just double back and back up Conley. Also Shortoff Mountain up from Wolfpit...
One solution is to add a Knotty Mod to tighten the loose edges.
See a knotty mod at 8:05 in the video below.
Here are instructions from Knotty...
