Over the fourth I set up in a campground with limited trees to use for hammocking (don't ask-it involves big RV's and electric hookups)
Anyway, I rigged my hammock (HH Explorer) between two trees about 30 feet apart. In order to get the "sag" out of the line a used a truckers hitch and really torqued it. In fact, the nylon line inside the HH that provides support for the skeeter netting snapped....Doh!
Anyone have a similiar experience? What's a good rule of thumb on the overall tension? How about a guideline for the interior line for the netting?
I think I was just too far apart on the trees, and the thing was gonna sag either way....
I did like the comment my youngest boy made- "Hey Dad, is it supposed to make that loud, popping sound?"
