    Smile First successful hang

    So I'm laying here in my hammock, at my apartments just hanging. Took a few tries to find trees that would work. Fell only once. But I got it. I think as I hang it slipped maybe a little as I'm not too far off the ground but at least I didn't crash to the deck a second time

    My first hang was one of the best nights I have ever spent in the woods in 40+ years. Enjoy it.

    Good deal! Fall off the hammock and get back on just keep tinkering with you suspension angles and your ridgeline length and you will find your perfect lay

    Doing good. The only activity where a good nap is the reward. I mean, you have to test it, right?
