Half a Tensahedron Stand... and a tree!
Рет қаралды 2,643
6 жыл бұрынJust using two legs of a Tensahedron stand is possible, if you have a high anchor point you can use for the other end.
This means you could split it into two stands, either side of the tree... two for the price of one!!

Who couldn't relax listening to those robins...I've done a one tree hang by running my straps through the doors of my vehicle. While not pretty, it is doable. Nice video.

I just started expirementing with tensahedron stands (but from old tree branches), I didn't know you could only have 2 poles... been wanting to take my kids hammock camping but can never find proper spacing for 3 hammocks.. this just accelerates the possibilities even more... P.S. I got my own video of me "mousetrapping" in one of these on my channel

I was just wondering if this was possible.. and low and behold.. you proved it is! Thanks for that! I can't wait to test this out myself. Cheers!

If you put a single stake under the apex of the two poles and run cord to each of the "ground end" of the poles, it will keep the poles from sliding just as well with half of the staking necessary. Using one of those "ground screws" you could connect the apex AND the two ground ends (three lines) to give a nice, firm foundation for that end of the hammock stand. A firm ridgeline to the tree makes this a strong, stable "one tree hang.' I've done this quite a few times in the last 25 years.

Paul, what’s your guess on the distance from the bottom of your tensa stand to the tree? Looks like you took 3-4 steps past the stand anchor points. Thanks

Brian Blanton - the way I did it there is prolly not the best. I already knew where the feet needed to be (having already practiced it). If you were to do it in real life, I'd recommend starting by attaching your hammock to the tree, then to the apex of the poles. Only then would you site the bases of the poles, to give you a nice, slightly head down hammock position. Then would be the time to stake the pole feet down. The distance from the tree is best arrived at experimentally, in the way I just described, but it is going to be about half your ridgeline length.

Makes sense, thanks. I'm working on a solution for sleeping by my jeep and this looks promising. Will be experimenting. If anything works I'll post a pic on the forum thread.
