dd camping hammock cocoon question. now 3 times really fast!!

[SimonD]

this past xmas i was the grateful receipient of a dd camping hammock. i've got my suspension system sorted, i was just wondering if anyone had any tips on holding up the top layer to sleep in the cocoon. i've got bungees but nowhere to attatch them. any camp hammock owners with some advice???

if your talking about holding the netting out of the way I would try a couple of small lengths of cordage and tie a prusik not at each end. only an idea

get a ridge line up for your tarp. then get a second ridgeline up under your tarp, for holding up your net.

the problem is there's no loops to fix to on the top layer of the hammock. already figured i'd have a ridge under the tarp and then the bungee hooked onto that, just unsure how to connect it to the hammock

Get some Clingons.

You can use these to attach the outer layer to a ridgeline to hold it up.

My pleasure Simon. They are just the ticket and not too badly priced either. Just in case I broke forum etiquette (I am a newbie after all!) I can confirm I am in no way connected to the seller. Bought the ones I use from here and had no problems. Happy hammocking!

just ordered some from woodlore. used it as an excuse to get a honey stove and new water bottle as well

I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes online shopping and ends up buying more than I set out for!
