A low entry budget option.... [therefore not overly fancy] I've got a Blackview phone. Kids had a blackview as a cheap 1st phone which lasted above expectations. Before xmas I saw they do a range of IP68 rated ones, so got myself the cheapest one [BV4000 pro - about 50 quid when I bought it...

Yes I must admit the title of the thread ( intentional?) Gave me a smirk - yes I am that immature! Sorry for not having a constructive post to share.

One I've adopted from shug's channel, zipping up your coat over the foot end of the hammock to add an extra layer of insulation for your feet - works really well, specially if you hook the coats hanging loop over your crab at the end of the hammock, just keeps it in place up at the end.

For my tarp ridge line I use some pink dyneema with a loop alien to secure round the first tree then a itze figure nine to tension round the second tree. I also have a number of prussiks permenantley on the ridge line, two of which are used to string up my tarp. My tarp is kept in snake skins...

Each section is roughly 1meter so tripods are 2 m long, about head height when deployed, and the centre pole is slightly longer than 3m. Works out at a reasonable to low sitting height for a small hammock (2.6m) with a fair amount of sag

It also has non-marking feet to not muck up the floor indoors :) Out of two trampolines I've got enough poles for three tripods and two ridgepoles. setup in a triangle I can hang three hammocks off it :), just need to find another 2nd hand trampoline I can nick the enclosure poles from...

My take on a Turtle Dog Hammock Stand. Sourced a number of swaged poles [trampoline enclosure poles] from the kids broken trampoline, enough to make two tripods. Had been using a range of random bits of pipe for a ridge pole but recently acquired another set of trampoline poles. The new ones...
