    Hammock Tutorial Videos

    I made some hammock tutorial videos yesterday. These were really quickly recorded, raw and unedited, but they may be helpful for anyone interested in inexpensive and simple setups which don't require special hardware, tools, time, or experience. I cover all the basics (a survey of equipment, suspension, knots, tarps, insulation, hammock stands, etc.), using the simplest possible solutions, using cheap components which can be found at Walmart, Target, or Lowes, etc. I made these videos for some friends, without the intent to publish them publicly, but I think the DIY stand is something which even a lot of experienced hangers may not have tried (absolutely no special tools or setup required), and the rest may contain some useful basic info for new hangers and for those who may be struggling to find the simplest, fastest, and least expensive solutions which are immediately available to average users who want to go out, buy some cheap equipment, and try hanging right away without a lot of research or investment.

    I felt compelled to include the following disclaimer in all the videos.

    I added a few videos to clarify the basic suspension and tarp set up, this time between trees that are a normal distance apart. There's also a more complete insulation video, and a little video of me (180 lbs) bouncing vigorously on the DIY hammock stand:

    They are good and informative videos, I had a problem keeping up with the audio but I could still understand what you are saying.
