I just started on getting my hammocks today, and i am already addicted..lol
So i have a couple questions.
(I apologize in advance for not knowing the correct verbage of some things)
1st, if it is raining, even when using a tarp, wont water run down the tree then down the lines attached to the tree and into the ends of the hammock or down the bottom of the hammock making for a wet bottom side of where ever there is pressure from me laying in it?
2nd, I know this is silly, but what happens when you dont find 2 trees that are the right distance apart? Im not saying that this would happen often, but in a burned area, it is possible. I cant imagine people bringing back up ground tents. I see that someone said that everyone should learn to make a ground set up...what is that? Would using some sort of an "a-frame" system out of downed small trees work. If you do a google search for "a frame slackline set up" you will see these are very sturdy when no trees are around.
3rd, Is silnylon just water proof version of nylon? Regular ripstop cant be used for a rain tarp, correct? can regular be used and treated with something to make it wayerproof?
Thanks in advance
