I just got a Handy Hammock portable hammock stand for my upcoming bicycle trip. I don't want to do stealth hanging, so I have to make do with what I find at public campsites. I don't expect to find many trees.
I ordered the stand without the hammock, since I want to use my trusty WB Blackbird (the old 10' version) with it. I started setting up the stand but ran out of light and postponed it. Also, it wasn't as straight forward as I had hoped - you definitely need to watch the set-up videos. However, I couldn't find any videos or tips on how to use the stand with a Blackbird (or any other 10' hammock). The hammock that usually comes with the stand is a bit shorter than 10', so I assume that I need to adjust the distance between the poles. Is anybody else using the Handy Hammock stand with a longer hammock and has figured out the perfect way to set it up? This would probably safe me a lot of fiddle time
