    Thumbs up Easter hang whoopies benefit realized.

    Hung out with the girlfriend Easter day in the front yard.

    We had to do a multiple of adjustments to get the hang just right. That was when i realized something about amsteel that really must be experienced to appreciate from other suspensions. That is the almost nothing stretch in the line compared to nylon or polyester. Even with 275 pounds between the two of us the only thing that could be felt to stretch was the eno double we were napping in.

    After trying nylon tow straps and going to this you could really just set it where you want it and not have to guess how much stretch will occur.

    Hands down the best hammock investment i have made other than getting a hammock in the first place.

    Just remember to milk the bury down and load it slow at first to set the chinese finger trap effect....ignore that and your likely to have a scary slip as you drop a few inches before the bury will grip.

    Happy hanging!

    What A Front Yard!
    If you don't try due to fear of failure you've already failed due to fear.
