Has anyone hung a hammock in a yurt before. I like to yurt camp, and have stayed in a few, but have never hung in one. I think I might try it out this winter at a yurt I can hike into.

will it support it? some yurts here are definitely not strong enough.
I was in a yurt not to long ago and hung on one of the individual rafters and it held me (170 lbs). The yurt I was in had 2x6 construction.
That is when I realized that it could be done. But I just haven't heard of anyone doing it.
I think that it depends on the yurt. The yurt that I stayed in one winter would not structurally support a hammock, but I think that the crazy 6 x 6 posts that the bunks were made out of would!
This is true. And good point on the bunks. I hadn't really given that good consideration. I think this is what I might try if I have to opt out of using the rafters.
Thats gotta be one heavy back pack . . . :laugh:Quote:
