Challenge accepted! But, man was that sure hard. I made a quick video of it so you can actually see that I am of the ground and still able to swing. Even with my pup Kiba with me.
The left side of my hammock is actually hanging from the branch that slides down when I laid in it. Sure was a toughy to do.

Those trees hated me after I was done hanging.

Here's me hanging in my very first DIY hammock inside of my institute's pc-pool at about 2:30am in the morning during a dense period of exams...

I had no toggles with me and used printer paper instead. The structural ridgeline was too thin and too short such that it ripped thereby waking me up while I was in dreamer's heaven...

The photo's been taken august 2010.

That's my girlfriend's hammock I made her. I think I may roll up to a group hang with that baby.

You used printer paper? I assume a few or 20 sheets twisted together? Sounds like a lot of time spent studying instead of sleeping, cool.
