Had another Trail Life Scouts campout with my sons this past weekend near Lynchburg, TN. With a couple hundred people expected and assigned camping areas in a large field, stands were required for anyone that wanted to use hammocks. I got in my first outdoor test of my homemade tensahedron stand. Mine is very similar to Mike Jone's build from this link: https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/make-yo...ahedron-stand/

We got quite a bit of rain Friday night, starting around 1am, with pretty significant wind as well. I was set up so the wind was directly into the tarp. I was a bit concerned about the tarp getting damaged by rubbing against the stand at any point, but it seemed to do fine. We managed to dodge the worst of the thunderstorms on Saturday, though we had some pretty sizeable downpours followed by an amazing rainbow. The wind shifted by about 90degrees on Saturday night, but there was no rain, and my underquilt protector helped block most of the wind coming through the tarp. All in all, another lovely weekend of camping!
