The trees today were 22' apart, which gave me 2 - 3' spare at each end (given a 25 -30 degree suspension angle). The tree straps were pretty much as high as I could reach. If I needed to go higher I could have pushed them up with a hiking pole.
Well, plant your trees closer together! LOLI've tried the long line with alpine butterfly loops, but could not get the anchor ends high enough on trees in camping instances to keep my rear end off the ground.
