My huggers don’t have a big enough loop in the end to get the rope through more than once easily.  I have used your technique tying to tree limbs buy rapping around one then tying to another.

I was trying for a double back flip with a twist Wink, BUT either I'm way to old (the likely culprit) or the hammock wasn't high enough, (what I want to believe) adding a JOLT might of provided some must needed spin Wink


As a young trooper in the Army, I spent one night driving the Bn Cmdr all over the manuver area and had set up my hammock at about 0300. About 0600 some Jet Jockie dove in on the hill we were on. I was about 2' above the hammock when I woke up looking down and knew I wasn't going to get any points for the landing.
