I've had my stand for a couple of weeks now and love it. I was able to setup on uneven ground and still get the ridgepole level. Something that I learned real quick: The tripod tie-offs are required if you want to set up a tarp over your hammock. I tried staking down my tarp and pulled the whole thing over on top of myself... Staking the stand solved the problem (don't take shortcuts). ;-)
I had no idea what those were for! Well, just more reason for me to not use this thing...I'm lazy. Not a knock against the product at all; I just don't like messing with stuff.
I'm confused. How did the stand fall by hanging a tarp from it? It seems to me that a staked down tarp would only assist in holding the stand in place. I've hung my tarp many times from my stand and never had anything like this happen.
