In June I'll be attending a music festival for four days and I was just thinking about how much more comfortable I would be sleeping in my hammock than in a tent. I couldn't find a thread on it, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to set up a temporary hammock hang without trees and without too much hassle.
Well what do you have?
You need to look at the DIY stands. I like the Turtle Lady stand. Can be made in 30 minutes and all you need is six legs and a ridge pole.
If you have a pick up truck you can probably use part of that for one support. If you can get close to an object for a second one that solves it.
If you had to guess Sgt, what kind of weight would this hold? I'd like to do something similiar but until I get busy losing weight again, I'm around 275#.

I did this at a bluegrass festival.....used one tree but can do it all with big stakes.

I use two swingset hooks in the rafters in my basement! You still get your 30 degree angle and you can go as far apart as you want! I hope this helps!
