I just love the fact that at one time TL wasn't a hanger....and now look at her! Obsessed like the rest of us! VERY cool stand. If someone could invent one that is around 2 lbs tops and collapsible so it would fit in my pack, it would probably change my entire outlook on hiking the PCT.
This is my signature.
You could try the handy hammock stand. http://www.handyhammock.co.uk/I just love the fact that at one time TL wasn't a hanger....and now look at her! Obsessed like the rest of us! VERY cool stand.

This is part of a post on TurtleDog stand thread . . . yet this stand is more a turtlelady.

It's good to see several hangers using this setup. After I first gave it a try and posted photos, it seemed to take a long time before others started to adopt the aluminum poles.
gmcttr and the rest have inspired some followers.
Those who experimented with the details; imaged+explained early military-alum-pole-tripods have made a path to follow.
We have the alum poles for 3 tripods+2 ridgepoles. Snapbuttons have been ordered from graingers.
The lashing is very compelling. A beautiful thing. Strong and basic. Some good images here that demonstrate it well.
Yet . . . I am drawn to the hardware.
Agfadoc has imaged+explained it well.
Have some new-old-stock eyebolts ( surplus from a project 20yrs ago ).
Currently : comtemplating . . .
Working on an alum-turtlelady stand or an alum-artjrk-hardware-turtlelady as agfadoc did.
Will you "explain+image" this when you get a chance ?Originally Posted by GroundHog
Yes they are lashed. I'm also using modified 1 1/2 inch sewer test plugs in the ends for spikes as limiters. gmttcr thanks for the help on this. I needed to be able to break it down to fit in my motorcycle trailer, and these work great.

GroundHog,
I have added this post information here to the turtlelady stand thread with the other alum pole info.
Thanks for the explanation and the link.
Good explanation. I can imagine it. Yet . . .
you know the crew will want pictures / images.
This is a terrific two purpose solution : Micro spikes and dirt caps.

GroundHog's images of the "plugs" are on page119 post1183 of the TurtleDog stand thread.

Got mine made a few days ago, I've lounged around in it for a while, and this morning I slept in it for a few hours after I go of off work this morning. I like it, but after looking and thinking i have the space to just put some I-bolts on the wall in my family room and just hang it like that, but the stand will stay around for backyard use.
