tree spacing question

[rerun]

7- 8 comfortable paces is about right.

Outstretched trekking poles that almost touch the trees is about right.

Head end strap at about face height

Foot end strap is about as high as I can reach, maybe a little higher.

As long as I am able to get in and I am up off the ground far enough that no critters are scrubbing against butt at night, it's about right.

SRL does the rest.

Last thing I want to do on the trail is math. Right up there with using my cell phone.

Well said....

Hike with a very tall friend!
I jest....sorta.
Yeah, use a hiking pole or find a sturdy limb in the woods or even something to stand on like a log or such. Even a little shimmy up the tree is doable.
Carry forth and hammock on.....

I’d imagine that you’d make an Amstel tightrope to stand on. [circus music] 🎶

Haaa...ridgelines do come in handy though for hamma-batics.
