late to the discussion. Here in Colorado - at least at the state parks they will not let you tie anything to the trees. We had our dog leashed to a tree with a 8-foot 1/2" dog leash and we were...

There was a recent thread showing a galvanized pipe system that was heavy but at least portable. The expense was in the piping. I checked my local Lowes and 1-1/4 pipe at 10-foot was $29.00.

I am reading many posts about using a 'crinkle taffeta' table cloth as a hammock. Is this material as strong as nylon or parachute material? Would it support a guy at 6' and 230lbs?

I live in Colorado and every state park that I have ever camped in has...
I have been lurking for a few months, But I have a few issues with my hammock experience so I thought I would pick yoose-guys brains.
I have an Eagles Nest Double and I am still running backyard...
