To Boldly Hang Where No One Has Hung Before...
hmmm then wat about overhead shelter?
any ways to hang a tarp?
Hmmm, by my math it supports over 250 Lbs, but weighs over 3.5 Lbs.
But then may be worth it if hiking in treeless areas.
I think I would want to know more before commiting my "assets" to being supported by it, cause it do seem flimsy.
When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.
Wow. I'd be very wary getting into that hammock personally.
That kid in the picture is going to run right into his supports, (and she also must be floating in mid air a little)... Look out kid!
Now that looks cool. I've tried something similar with a collapsible assembly for an overhead compression pole, but I couldn't make it work. Something this short would be a lot more doable. Cajunhiker, are you planning on building this type of strut-thingy for your ski-poles?
If you look in their gallery, you will see an example of a tarp setup.
id like to see someone make one out of something smaller dia than a ski pole, but about 5' tall.
i guess it's the static-ness of the lines that keeps the pole from bending/buckeling. great idea.
i bet 1.75mm dyneema would be good enough.
Yeah, I've been noodling on that some myself. The most straightforward way is to have a hole in the plate drilled to the same diameter as the pole, and then slip it on. But that won't work with a ski pole or hiking pole easily, because of the tip. Maybe if you can take segments of the pole apart, slip it on, and put them back together...
I'm also puzzled at how to tension up those cables, if the apparatus can tear down and set up easily.
I'd be really interested in seeing one of these rigs for real!
