Hi everybody,
I'm thoroughly enjoying my new Tensa4 stand, like a kid in a candy store at a playground. I now see so many possibilities with this stand, especially for traveling in the urban/civilized world. Whereas before I considered my hammock strictly a wilderness setup, or at the very most an outdoors setup, now I almost feel like I can also take it indoors without having to put holes in the walls, for example, when visiting friends or relatives in other cities or countries, and I don't really fancy sleeping on a couch or worse yet, have someone give up their bedroom to accommodate me.
I say almost because there is one minor problem, the ground anchor. This Tensa4 comes with two long Orange Screw stakes that are great for the outdoors, but obviously not so good in concrete. And of course I'm not going start drilling holes on someone else's walls so that I can place a proper hook. So far I've been able to pile some counterweights made up of whichever heavy items they can find for me (a sack of dog food, on top of a speaker cabinet, on a dining table), and one time I was able to anchor the UCR though a door slit with a wrench acting as a toggle above the hinge, and using a few towels around the wrench to protect the door paint. But this does take a bit of time and ingenuity to figure out. So I was wondering if anyone has come up with a clever solution that is simple, easy to use, and doesn't require to move all the furniture around, and most importantly, that can be carried along with the Tensa4 wherever one goes.
I've done some research on industrial suction cup hooks, but they only work on very smooth surfaces like glass. They don't work on a surface with any texture like a tiled floor.
Happy to hear any of your ideas or comments.
Thanks!
