I really need a video showing how to split one stand to hang two hammocks from one tree.

OldPackMule The worst case is about 13lbs. You can come close to 10lbs sticking with UCRs instead of webbing and carabiners, omitting the ridgeline (assuming your hammock has one), omitting the head end anchor and guyline (tarp guys or counterweight substitute). You can also remove all 4 rubber feet at the apexes. In certain soft ground conditions, you can omit baseline and ground feet as well. And leave the bag home. The first functional prototype in carbon fiber was 4lbs. It had an unknown but much lower capacity, packed larger, was very expensive, and wasn’t tough. Meanwhile that’s still too heavy to appeal to an ultralight backpacker. 10 or 13lbs seem almost equally unattractive to gram counters. Tensa Solo is a much lighter variant that can appeal to thru-hikers. It uses 4 segments of the 28 used in Tensa4. Does have stronger ground anchoring requirements. Gotta make that video...

Tensa crew yes, please make that video ☺️

It works fine with both, without incident. There are photos of both on the product page on our site.

Martin Froger The guyline tension is a lot lower than many people think, an order of magnitude below what’s required to support a hammock directly. It varies between Zero (at the tipping point) and up to around half of body weight. The amount of tilt of the stand and how far headward of the baseline your center of gravity falls determines the load. You can think of the stand as a traditional fulcrum scale. The stand structure bears the great majority of the weight. The guyline just keeps it from tipping over. Hold a broom upside down, straight up. Zero load. The more you lean it, the heavier it feels, but it’s always less than the whole weight. Suitable indoor anchors include main door or fixed cabinet hinge pins, HVAC registers or radiators, handrails, door stoppers, items tied and shut behind latching doors or sliding windows, or just heavy furniture. Tie to bedframe, then set up stand on bed... Worst case: a small screw hook driven into baseboard or flooring, ideally under carpet or into existing crack or flaw so it leaves no mark.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

100". Connections are now in the feet just beyond the pole ends, so effective length is a hair longer, no length lost to inset connections.

@@cleverchimp thanks for the reply. I'll have to find some slightly longer lumber =)

It’s a BoneFire Gear Whisper insulated hammock. I love it: bonefiregear.com/. About 900g complete with bugnet, double layer, good to 0ºC.

Tensa crew thank you sir!

We warrant to 350lbs.

alorr4uz Ouch, but that’s fair. This video needs updating to match latest print documentation anyway. As soon as we catch breath, perhaps it’s time to hire pro help. Composing inquiry now...

@@tensacrew I managed to get it up, a 6 pack later. don't know if it's right but seems stable.. lol. have it up right now with my ridgerunner and superfly. thx again love the stand.

alorr4uz Ridgerunner and other bridges are a special case. On our list! As i guess you’ve figured, setting the base super narrow like 3-4’ so the poles are under the spreaders does it. And let the ridgeline run very wide, connecting as close to the triangles coming off the spreaders as possible, i.e. no suspension. Enjoy your beer and stand!
