My name is Sailcat and I live in Picayune MS. I bought a few cheap hammocks last year and use them mainly to relax in the back yard. I have a 3 night kayak trip planned in October and I plan on hanging. Before then I need to find a good way to set up in the sand with no trees available. I'm thinking some sort of PVC setup.
Welcome to the forum , sounds like you need some turtle dog. Check it out and have a great trip.
Hello Sailcat, welcome to the group.
My ego said, SURE you can.
Half way in my body said OH NO YOU CAN'T
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

Howdy and welcome to the trees, err sand. +1 on the turtle dog stand.

Looking back to last year to reminisce and forward to post Covid-19 hangs in 2021

Welcome to MS hammock hanging. We have a MS group hang coming up in November (https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...rest-NOV-13-14) Come on up for a great time with a bunch of cool folks and get to see and try out a wide variety of hammocks, both purchased and DIYed.
Now, as far as using a hammock with a pvc stand setup on a sandbar...honestly, just find 2 suitable trees further up the bank. The weight, cumbersome nature and instability in sand of any free-standing system all point to trees.
Hope you can make it up to the hang.

Sailcat, I am designing and building a setup for hammock camping on the sandbars right now. Will be pack-able in my kayak. Going to field test it this weekend on Black Creek. Will let you know.
