    perminate hammock pole

    Hi
    I finally got around to digging a pole into my back garden to hang from. the pole is over near the house on the left and I can tie off over on the tree to the right. It's farther apart than I'd like, this photo was taken in the morning after my first night and it all went well.
    The pole moves around a little in the hole I bored and I'll need to fix that.

    The tarp is a diy second hand one I bought and had sent over.

    Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

    Gunn, you're lucky. At least you have one tree. I've got a pole and a deck to hang from. Nice dog. What kind is he/she? Camping buddy?

    +1 for the dog! I blew up the picture and found she has a grey-blue coat and black ears. Looks like a shepherd.

    Looks like an Australian Cattle Dog ... had a friend in Pa that had two ... great breed.
    He also had an Australian Kelpie ... but had a dark brown coat ... very smart dog.
