1/4 mile from Bramley End.
As this thread has been re-erected(sic) I have the cheaper Hex and still hang my bag off line looped round one of the support trees. Also trolling the interweb and hammockforum I discovered a way of dealing with boots which is to tie them over the inner tension cord when sitting in the hammock then pop them to the end of the hammock closing the floor around them. Simples! I shall try this next time out as it avoids (sharp) sticks adjacent to the Hammock for putting the boots over.

I know how you feel, took me a wee while to build up the courage too :) but it really was very simple, I got mine from Opie on the hammock forums website, he was very helpful and there is a great step by step video on his website, the whole thing took about 10 mins :)

thank you. going to do one shortly about gear storage as that seems to be a big question for a lot of people. was out hanging this weekend and filmed the odd bits and pieces.

Storage isn't a problem for me, if it's dry, the rucksack goes under the hammock, if it's wet or in environments where scorpions, spiders and other hazards are a problem, I sling my rucksack under the hammock at the foot end via a karibiner.

You should start your own thread with hammock tips and tricks.

I use a cheap string hammock suspended between my tarp and the hammock.

It stays dry and out of the way but I can still reach it if I need anything in the night.
