    That’s interesting. So I figured the ridgepole on a turtle dog stand was necessary. How is this working without one? Why would someone prefer a turtle dog if this works too?

    I assume there are 'anchors' in the ground to hold the stands in place once the distance apart is set.
    I collect vintage camp stoves.
    I roast coffee at home.

    This one uses big long anchors in the ground at each end to hold it down. The turtledog can be set up inside or anywhere, for that matter. This one is outside only... provided you are opposed to putting floor anchors in your house.

    Intriguing - is the carry bag length the 4ft? If so, too wide for a motorcycle?

    Could a ridgeline pole be adapted for indoor, etc, use?

    4' seems too short for me. I like my hammocks to sit mor that 18" off the ground. I like the design though.
    “The word hammockable (Meaning: two trees that are the perfect distance apart between which a hammock can be hung) is not in the dictionary, but it should be.”

    Nice job, but as suggested before, one side should definitely be taller so you can get your feet end up higher than your head end this really helps increase the comfortableness of the lay. Do the legs themself lock in place, or have some kind of anchor to prevent them from walking around when moving in the hammocks.
    By all means, let's argue about whether or not a hammock will hurt a tree. All the while ignoring the fact that there is an island of garbage the size of Texas floating in the Pacific ocean. Or how about the fact that over 75% of the world's nuclear reactors are leaking...

    This looks like a nice "no trees" alternative to those who can use it. Be sure to note the 48 inch height and do your calculations on sag/distance/above ground seat height, etc.

    The mention of using a ridge pole for "turtle dog stand mode" is interesting because otherwise you are looking at 30 inch stakes - which are not "nothing". I sold my Handy Hammock because even the 18 inch stakes required more "ground" depth than the lava rock infested Central Oregon could reliably provide. With the three legs, this probably doesn't need as much securing as the single pole "handy hammock" type stands. But still, there's a reason the stakes are 30 inches long.
