Military jungle hammock. Stretched pretty tight. Woke up falling through the mosquito bar. Short fall. Ground soft and wet, yuk! Ambushed by waiting mosquitos. I was naked and it wasn't funny, therefore, should not be in humor section...
Not immediately, but my first night I had one of my tree straps shimmy down the trunk. I had to get up and redo it when the lean got too uncomfortable.
First time I tried out my new Blackbird using Wal-Mart. caribiners I hit the ground but lived to tell about it!
Always wondered about those straps. On hickory trees those things don't move. I set mine up too high once, and it was hard to get in. Due to a little rope stretch, getting out was no biggie.

It's really hard to fall out of a gathered end hammock. I haven't in 7 years of hanging.
If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!
First time in 5 years. was hanging Easter Sunday at Land Between the Lakes (Ky) and woke up on the ground. Embarrassed to mention it though.
