    Hammock Forums is a Family-Friendly Site - No Profanity, No Flaming 


    Hammock Forums is a family friendly site. This means that our topics, language and treatment of each other are what you'd want your kids to see. We're not a bunch of prudes...we just think that the internet has enough places where that behavior is tolerated, and this particular site shouldn't be one of them. This is a great community where the norm is to support others in their ideas and projects, and not assume offense where none is intended...and therefore not to flame, call names, or create friction in our threads. Respectful disagreement is ok; disrespectful comments are not.

    Please participate in accordance with these guidelines, and PM the mods with any questions.

    Religion and the Holidays on HF 


    Just a friendly reminder of HF's Terms of Service re: discussing religion and politics on this forum. It's not allowed.

    I thought a reminder would help us stay focused. Applying the TOS to the holidays, it's ok to wish folks Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Solstice, Kwanzaa or whatever...but discussions about the religious aspects of the holidays will be removed. We're here to discuss hammocks, so if you have strong feelings about religion and the holidays, please find another forum to discuss them.

    Political and Military Posts on Hammock Forums 

    Published on 03-15-2014 02:22

    Hammock Forums has always had a strict rule against political and religious posts. This has normally applied to issues that most members can agree are contentious...gun rights and carry laws, differences in religion, political elections and candidates, etc. As we've said several times, this isn't about First Amendment rights but about keeping this particular site respectful and on-topic.

    I need a better knot

    You are correct about the line. After I get it to the stake I go around it twice and then back towards the pole. Part of the way there I tie the midshipman's

    Which knot do I use to attach a carabiner to a tarp?

    I know this thread is old, but did you figure out which knot to use? I came across this thread because I was in the exact same boat. I think I figured

    Tensa Outdoor and the commercial packable tensahedron stand

    I really want to thank @Latherdome and @raftingtigger for coordinating a repair for my Tensa4. I picked up the tarp extension and Solo conversion kit

    I need a better knot

    You can also try a Farrimond hitch if you like, but it is essentially another slipped friction hitch... with the advantage that it is an 'exploding' knot.

    Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly, but you can tie the slipped version of both clove and midshipman's hitch. I've been doing this for a long time

    I need a better knot

    If I'm envisioning this properly, after being secured to the top of the pole, the line needs to continue on down to the stake. Can the pole be at the

    Hello from North GA

    Hello fellow hammock hangers. I figured I'd introduce myself, as I've been gone awhile and never properly said hello.
