Great video. Thanks for sharing. So how do you get two hammocks side by side, using the same two trees? Could be handy when backpacking with my wife.

Cheers

Alpine Dad,

I'll let Comrade Hillbilly speak for himself. When I do it, I use the same tree for the footend of both hammocks and then find two separate trees for the head end that are as close to equally apart from the foot end as possible, but close enough together on the head end to stay under my Superfly tarp or Hennessy Hex. Picture a triangle with both foot ends suspended form the same point on the triangle and the head ends on the opposing ends.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. May be other ways but that's the way that works for me.

All the best !
Gil

One tree at the foot end and two trees at head spaced evenly from the foot end tree. A decent size tarp helps also Although I must admit sometimes you just have to deal with being a little snug. But one can hardly complain when your wife is ready and willing to go running off into the woods with ya and not complain about it the whole time

Glad ya liked it, and I truly believe the north shore is a land like no other. Sort of puts the peace in ya every time I'm there. Thanks for watchen!!

Gosh that looks lovely. I miss the flatter hiking trals. Living on the West Coast everything is so rocky and vertical. I miss hiking in Northern Ontario...that said, it looks amazing. I remember some beautiful hikes on the North shore of Lake Superior with stunning views.

For reference, those 'raspberries' are called Thimble Berries. My wife calls them jamberries because they remind her of jam. That or because she loves them and her nickname is Jam...

Great video, love the report so far!
