Hey all
as with most of us here we (i) test gear at home in the yard before going out for real. i do this alot aswell .ive been straping my hammocks to a tree and a fence post .and seems to work very well ,UNTILL i got my new wbbb .i can get my webbing as high as i want on the tree but im pretty limited on the fence post its 6ft tall . my first hang in the bb left me about 2in from the ground.sure i could have tightened it up a bit but the RL would have been very taut. i didnt want that.. im also expecting a crowsnest if i left the hang the uq would be on the ground. i dont want that.. SO im thinking of a new post a taller one . concreted in .my fence post are 8ft and 2ft burried so their 6ft tall . im thinking a 10ft or 12ft post maybe a 6x6 .. but how deep should i burry and concrete . would be close to the fence as not to look too out of place. i thought about a stand but i really dont need a portable stand at the moment . anyone else done something like this? i guess im just asking .what size and how deep i should go to hold me weight?
im 180 ish
thanks all..
