I have my ordinary hammock (not the Draumr) set up down in the woods along my footpath to the post office which is a mile away. It's about the half way point, and on a nice sunny day I often lay in it and daydream about where I'm going to go next summer, or about sailing the 7 seas, etc........ daydreams are free! It's a windy country here, and I was stuffing it frequently so it wouldn't be buffeted in the wind and fill up like a sail. I hit on the idea of "hammock rings". Metal rings that slide over the hammock and hold it closed. I took 3 small light weight carabiners and snapped them over it. They slide to the ends and allow the hammock to open, and when spaced out on the hammock keep it closed. It works quite well.... Velcro would work, but I don't much like velcro. I may make up some fabric or rope rings for the job. What do others do for this?
