This is from my latest hang. Went to Calico Ghost town. I've gotten very comfortable using the tensegrity. I'm not sure how much weight it will handle, but it handles me (185) and two...

Thanks! I don't bring a lot of science to the discussion, but I have used my 3 strut many times and lately very successfully. I've already started trying to find a local fencing company from whom I...

OK, I'm really loving this thread, but what I would really like to know / see is anyone that has done a +1 variation on this three strut stand. Has anyone built a 4 strut stand? or more? Are there...

What you have outlined is nearly exactly what I did. Bought nearly all the materials at Home Depot. I was less interested in "packing it in" and more interested in taking it car camping. I found...

In the three or four falls I've experienced, the poles hit before you do. They are "slung" to the ground. One of my falls was more of a slide as the bottom triangle pulled loose from the wiring I...

Hey Mac, I'm CERTAIN the boyscouts would like that model (as well as the tensegrity) as it lends itself nicely to pioneering poles. Do you have a more detailed set of plans for that Thumbnail you...

Well, not the only person. I found the plans online with popular science and have been tweaking mine (3 strut) for about 2 years now.
