Tensa Outdoor and the commercial packable tensahedron stand

Here you can see the solution found by Gadget for the half tensa and a tree:

The slippage of the feet in towards the tree is forceful and hard to combat. You need good anchoring, and that was going to be hard to depend on for the locations we were going to be in.

I think a single Orange Screw driven in under the half-stand apex could anchor the feet with a single line in V shape, running along the ground. The pull on the screw would be roughly perpendicular, hard to pull out. If the soil is hard: not going to budge. If the soil is soft, the feet will also tend to dig in a bit and then maybe stop secure with no anchor.

To fully upgrade 1 stand to have all the new bits, you would need:

4x Toggle & Loop Connector Assembly
4x 12kN Wiregate Carabiner
1x Webbing Ridgeline with Cinch
1x Webbing Baseline with Cinch
2x Webbing Guyline with Cinch

2x Tarp Extension (soon to be available?)

If you truly can’t find a suitable fixed indoor anchor point, and want a reliable portable solution, collapsible water containers can make good anchors. 18 gallons of water is 150lbs. The 50% body weight is a pretty reliable, generous figure. If you’re careful to keep your weight closer to the infamous taco point, and willing to YouTube any mishaps, 1/3 weight, or even less, can do.

Thank you. Was hoping for a simpler solution.

Are you referring to the UCR for the stand or the hammock?

For the stand. Sometimes the UCR slackens off and I have to re-tighten it. I'm wondering if the following would be quicker/easier/more reliable:

Although I am also thinking about buying a new hammock and going with cinch buckles instead of my current whoopie slings. My current hammock would stay at home to use with my wall mounts while the new hammock would be with my gear for going away and would be used with the Tensa stand. I'd probably buy another Dream Hammock Sparrow as I really like the one I'm currently using.

I have to say, I use Beetle Buckles on my hammock, and using that on the Tensa stand makes it incredibly easy. If you can, I would strongly consider going that way.

I switched my XLC to CL's and beetle buckles to make using the Tensa4 easier to adjust and I'm switching out other two blackbirds asap as well. I just ordered two more Tensa4 stands and the stuff to upgrade mine to the new straps. Now we can hang EVERYWHERE!!!!! (Well, as soon as the other two stands arrive...)

We're working on an incredibly comfortable 12+ foot basic hammock that will require no adjustments with the Tensa4 stand. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed.

You'll be almost a one-stop-shop before long! Aside from insulation, you'll be able to bundle everything into the ultimate portable hammock shelter system!
