    I happen to be a knot-hobbyist, so I have this item on hand already, and I know some fly-fisherman use them too. A hemostat is an awesome tool for whoopie-sling making, and repairing.

    I'd be interested in this too, as I only have one large tree in the front yard, and one big tree in the back yard, and nothing else to hang from.

    Soccer Goals...hmm

    I, unfortunately, don't have two trees in my yard that are close enough together to hang from. Who thinks a regulation soccer goal would hold up a hammock for some urban-hammock testing?

    Just wait. Eventually you'll start with monkey's fists, and turk's head knots. After that, kiss your paracord stash goodbye.

    I think I am going to shorten the hammock up by 18" or so, and make my tarp probably a 12x10 hexagon. That should give me almost 10" of coverage on the ends.

    Is that sufficient?
