Hammock level.png
Someone [Edit: Alrany187] was asking about using a line level to set up his hammock and I thought I'd make this drawing of an ultra light-weight level I made. I laid it out on a plastic margarine tub top. I drew two 30-60-90 degree triangles side by side and cut it out with an x-acto knife. I punched a hole in the middle. I hung it up on a line and checked that it hung level. I shaved minute bits of weight off the heavier side with a block sander. Once it was level, I hung it from the ridge line with a bread twistie tie.
It shows me what's level and also gives me the 30 degree angle of the suspension lines. It weighs virtually nothing.
I thought it was overkill, but when I don't have it, I miss it. I like my hammocks dead level and it can be hard to eyeball that, especially on a slope. Hope you like it!!
