    Subbed. Not a lot of people doing this in north LA. I'm trying to get started and finding that my local community might not exist.

    Not sure it's clear in the video, but yes, I believe that is the case. Also thought about offsetting these about 15-20° on each end to extend the hammock away from the vehicle and hardware (as McLean...

    Oh wow, that would be fantastic! My friend and I both have "starter hammocks" and I have a DIY underquilt (PLUQ) and a cheapo tarp, but that's all we have at present. Tough to know what the weather...
