Sorry guys, the location is the same as in my info, Codroy Valley, Newfoundland. This is "my" beach, 2 km from my home.
Its also a protected Piping Plover sanctuary - they don't seem to mind us - we...
I tried the College dorms, but got too many strange looks...
Yeah, that's exactly what I do.
I have a set about 8', and another about 12'. I don't notice the bulk, and find setup and adjustment easy.
Sometimes I use biners, but usually pieces of fiberglass...

I'm using 2 short sections cut from a broken fibreglass XC ski pole - no prob at all :)
"I'd buy that for a dollar"!
No, seriously, I would spend many of dollars for such lovely kit.
Very nice work, mate!

I have no real advice on your Hammock questions, but from one Newfie to another,
Hang in there!
You're going to love the hammock.
What part of the island are you from?

Kinda reminds me of something...

Half the population will tell you that size doesn't matter.
Remember: It's not the length of the hammock, it's how you well you're hung.
I like a shorter hammock myself.

I prefer to use knots rather than hardware.
Can someone suggest a good knot to tie off a short piece of ...er, rope?
I think that effect is called "Arms Race". Such "Escalation" may lead to "Detente", but also to "Mutually Assured Destruction"...
If you could just match the resonant frequency of the wall...
As one vain Hammocker said to the other during a midnight pee,
"Boy, that grass is damp!", and his vain friend replies,
"Yeah, and deep, too!"
But where does the water go?
Does the State of Confusion count?
Hey Pat, I hang my MEC Scout and Guide tarps on a continuous ridgeline, too. You're right, very snug hung this way.
Thanks for the idea for making doors, will try it out.
Cheers!
