Yep... .first fall. As in I hit the ground.
I've been "hanging" for over a month. Did a couple of backpack trips with no problem, even went to a Hammock Hangout and no problem.
What I forgot to do, and some veterans at the hammock hangout warned me about this, is I forgot that slip knot behind the rings to secure the webbing.
I have the rings suspension system, (thanks JustJeff)
I was in such a rush to hang my hammock in my backyard Friday night, that after setting it into place, I forgot to secure it and just hopped in. I slowly glided to the ground and then BUMP. I laughed at myself and hoped the neighbors didn't catch that. I knew exactaly what I did wrong, and I'm not blaming it on the strawberry margarita, I just forgot the slip knot.
I'm sure there are plenty stories out there about you guys falling out of the hammock. Care to share so I don't feel like a total dummy?
