I keep reading about how much stress is placed on buildings and trees when we attach a hammock. But then, I see people using what appears to be a hiking pole to hold one, or both ends of a hammock up. I’m afraid I’m going to get a bunch of math, but… why will a hammock put so much stress on a solid structure, but still allow people to use just a seemingly flimsy pole for a set up?
I ask because I hike in a place that has lots of trees that are just a bit too far apart, and think I might be fine with a single pole on one end, and a tree on the other. Thanks.
