In celebration of having my account name changed to my trail name (formerly known as rreevestmmk), my first official thread as the "Aardvark"....
Wanted a test bed for hammock materials, and a way to hang at Scouting outings in open fields.... my target was a non-back breaking center beam and a footprint no bigger than a normal tent.
As the vidoe shows, I can go from Deployed with Hammock, fold up for transports, then completely redeploy and have hammock hanging in under 6 minutes.
This isn't ultralight, but it does fold down and truck transport well (also can get in my Camry if rear seats folded down, but don't tell my wife)
