Slackline + Hammocok = ???

[FlyRy]

I love hammocking and I love slacklining. I thought I could set up a hammock hanging from my 50' slackline hanging over some water or over a big drop or something. I'd use a prussik to keep me from sliding around and probably my rock climbing harness depending on how high I am. I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried this, whether it's worked or not, what to do better and what to not do.

gear:
Eno double nest
50' x 2" slackline
my harness & tether
lots and lots of rope at the ready

(Sorry about the spelling error in the title, I don't think I can change that)

I've seen a lot of pictures of people doing this. I think as long as your slackline is rater for highlining (so it has a high safety rating) it should be possible, and definitely add a harness if falling out of the hammock would otherwise injure or kill you. If you're not sure about the strenght of your slackline maybe use a climbing rope as back-up? You could also make a prusik around that more easily, I don't know if a prusik around a slackline would really prevent sliding.
