VIDEO: PART 6.. Hammock How-To...Tarp Rap...Essentials For Noobs
PART 6 ..... Whew Buddy!
Start with a wee disclaimer ...... answer to many e-mails. OK, OK.......
We go over proper tarpage over the hammock. Focus on ends ......
See how the tarp moves and slides for adjustability on the continuous ridgeline. Exciting!!
Where to tie the tarp on the trees....... you'll see.
Not into continuous ridgeline????? We go old school and simple. Tie right of the end of the tarp with two lines.
Look at a couple of easy-peasy knots.
THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY KNOTS THAT YOU CAN USE..... There are so many. These are just what I use.
PART 7 in the works ....... I miss my wife!
Thanks for following this series. Ya'll better keep up!!!!!!
Shug
Wouldn't you know that I have to work late this week, and the company won't allow youtube to be viewed in the office.
Gotta wait till I get home...

Timber Hitch.... thanks soysos. Very sophisticated.
I still gotta call it the "not knot" .... even though it is a knot and not a not knot that I like a lot.

Well it looks like you got a field promotion, honorary Professor Shug. Congratulations! Hope you like the Department of Advanced Hammock Lounging and Lollygagging. :D
Really enjoyed this work! Also, looking forward to seeing you in more combined works with Professor Hammock (GrizzlyAdams) and RallohE (Hawk-Eye). What a triumphant triumvirate! Whoooooooooo Budddy Good! :thumbup1:
Thank-You!

Hey Shug
How about a mini tutorial on your video gear? ;)
hat cam? and what are you using to edit?
These videos are GREAT. Now my wife understands more about hammocks than I ever could have explained to her

Thanks Shug! Another winner. I like the Aerial Warrior poster. Do the men in the white suits visit often? Do you have a jacket with blind sleeves that ties up in the back?
Made my morning coffee time that much better :)

I have to say for a noob like me you explain things in a easy to understand and fun way like all the best teachers do. The series has really taught me a few ways to do things easier, I've already got some figure 9s in the post to speed up my ridge-line tightening.
Keep up the good work :D

Another great video brother. I am collecting this series and just waiting for the last one so I can put em on a disk. :)
I just wanted to ask you if you think Hammock camping is truly THAT lightweight. I mean, you know, if you went to ground your setup would probably save at least pound or so. Have you ever tried a tarptent? :D :cool:

Well ... not much to it. I bring my Canon PowerShot SD960IS Digital Camera ... 3 extra batteries, Ultra-Pod, StickPic and practice holding camera still with my arm. I do that the most.
Head cam .... my headlamp on backwards, slip Ultra-Pod in (it comes down and rests on my nose.
Use iMovie. Older edition. Some Final Cut for fancy stuff.

Painted that around 10 years ago. It was an aerial show we did kinda based on Xena.
Off for my Thorazine......... drool.

Shug,
Thanks for doing all the videos. I don't even have a hammock yet and I'm learning so much from your videos. It's so much easier to grok when I see it than when it's explained in text. And you're completely entertaining. They make a great body of reference for me.
No hammock yet but an evolving list of equipment!
All the best,
Bmorebhoy

Well, I guess that squashes the "Shug has a third arm" theory I was working on... :D

Meteor,
I don't know if I would be so quick to say that Shug doesn't have extra arms that we can't see because theyare hidden by that vest he wears. Do you remember his comment about being able to do the turtle and the "Spider" thing, when he was talking about the Packa in one of the Linville Gorge videos? :laugh::laugh:
