Hanging a hammock temporarily without trees

I did this at a bluegrass festival.....used one tree but can do it all with big stakes.

...with all those trees, hidden by a forest

...with all those trees, hidden by a forest

All those fine trees back there were Private Property........had to go to a tree in front of the barbed wire.

I did a variation of the turtle lady stand with metal conduit and lashing as seen here ... it could easily use 5' poles and thereby only use 3 10' pieces of conduit instead of my 6. That would make it both cheaper and easier to pack. My 10' poles are still pretty easy to deal with.

This is the portable stand that I use for when trees are not an option (usually scouting events where I am unable to choose my location). I believe it is the basis for Sgt Rocks stand he mentioned. May times I will use a single pole when a tree or other structure is available to hold one end.

This is the thread that discusses the Stake Booms that allow the whole thing to nest.

I'm told people have hung with one tree and a bike (!) as the other support, but I'll believe it when I see it.

There is a picture on DD Hammocks homepage, just wait for the slide on the main page.

Here's one with a bike / without trees.

Ahh, I was talking bicycle...motorcycle seems more feasible.

Here's a set up pedro posted a while back using two ski poles

Give me one tree and a vehicle with a trailer hitch, and I'm good:
