Ambulo tua ambulo.
well i slept in it last night. it was awesome for the first couple hours. eventually i started getting closer and closer to the ground. i finally woke up around 4 am and i was touching the ground. i used some cheap ratchet straps. what is the best way to tie them up so it wont slip
Hi, Nick. Congratulations! Looks nice!
How to you have your straps attached to the trees? Are they just tied around them, or do you have some way to adjust the straps?
One thing - when you first set up the hammock, lay in it for a little bit. This will cause some stretching, then, you adjust your suspension a bit tighter. OR you could start out a little tighter, then it will stretch and loosen a bit after you get in.
Nick, make sure the straps aren't made of nylon, it just keeps stretching and stretching. If they are nylon, switch to poly. Or get some amsteel cord.

yea i just have them wrapped around the tree. how much and where can i find the amsteel cord. would that hold all 275 pounds of me.?
