If I can't make it 5miles away to the lake easter weekend - as long as its going to be nice I'll prob go to my backyard - change of scenery from the brazilian hammock in the garage

Yup, a backyard simulated Group hang. I'll get off the ground in about a hour an a half. 'Bout time to peel the incubator off and get into summer mode. AAAhhhh, anticipation!!

alright, my question to all of you is... how's it hangin? no really...

i have two trees in the backyard that are double the distance apart i wish they where, and i work around that with longer straps and a ridgeline, but how do you hang in your backyard?

I hung outside last night. Think I'll do it again tonight since I was too lazy to break everything down this morning and my setup is still in place.

Might, just might, even get a fire going in the fire-pit just to make if feel real.

You should check out some of the one-tree threads. There are lots of folks in similar situations. Just a couple from a quick search:

I'm lucky, gots lots of trees and a handful of stands. When it gets full, I start using the one-tree methods. Just have to get that non-tree connection very well anchored and you'll sleep with ease.

Who doesn't have this problem?

Hanging in my back yard makes its easy to raid the fridge in the middle of the night if I get hungry plus I don't have to worry about forgetting a piece of equipment
