    cheers for all the ideas. I'm liking the bottle sling idea, maybe i just like learning new knots!

    That knot looks beautiful, but intricate .....
    Could something similar be produced with two whoopies on a ridgeline?

    Why not drink all the cider you can, as quickly as you can, while standing up. Then lay back and enjoy your hammock.
