    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.

    Synch cord

    Had run in with uninformed Nat. Forest campground host.

    That Gibbon tree wrap sure seems cheaper than a Tensa.

    Sand + Wind!!!

    Yep tensa is probably your best bet. It is not allowed to tie anything to the trees there. That and they are all tiny scrubby things anyway. Assateague

    Thanks for both the recommendation and the warning! My plan is to go for 37" which H. Hastings used on his AT thru hike with carbon fiber spreader

    What's your preferred guyline?

    I believe you are correct! They definitely feel the same. But the Dutch Wire says rated for 100lb on the web, & Zline says 200, so I decided to play

    What's your preferred guyline?

    Same here... 1.2 Reflective ZLine for the win.

    Dutch Wire is nearly identical as far as I can tell. I use both but prefer the Z line.

    O, yea missed its for a bridge. As mentioned, do so carefully. A small change in the bones increases compression on the bar non-linearly.
