![]() ![]() With these double hammocks, if you're the only person in it, scoot over to one side. ![]() If you want to get a nice flat hang, you can lay at an angle, put your feet over to one side and your head over to the other side, then just kick back. To get in, I go right to the middle and tuck it down under my butt, slowly lean back into it, spin around and drop your legs over. People talked about having a loose hang, if you've got a loose hang - you can just hang loose in your hammock. I tend to go for something with about a 30-degree angle on the straps. You can go up exactly the opposite and make it tighter. This will make it hang a little bit looser. If you need to adjust the length or the sag, all you do is just unhook it and you can drop it down to another one of the loops. You definitely want a little bit of a sag here. You’ll be kind of cocooned in and it's not going to be comfortable at all. If you get your hammock too tight, it's going to wrap around you like a burrito. You're looking for maybe a 30-degree angle on your straps because you want to get a little bit of a sag in your hammock. Grab the other end and head over to your other strap. You’ll notice that on either end there's a rope with a carabiner hook that clips right into one of the daisy chains. The double hammock a little bit wider, I've actually had myself and my wife both hanging out one of these. I grabbed the double hammock out of the warehouse here. Let me go hang up the other side and get the hammock in the air. Open one of the loops and just clip the hammock carabiner into them. After you loop the strap around, you've got this big open end here, just tuck the strap through it and now you've got this nice long daisy chain that you can attach your hammock to at different points. With a nice grippy tree, you’d probably only have to go around once. We're probably going to go around three or four times to take up some of the extra length and give it some friction to hold my weight. With a big tree, you’d loop this around once. These are what you're going to attach the end of the hammock to. It is a long nylon webbing strap that has a loop at one end, and then all along the length of the strap are a bunch of smaller loops called daisy chains that have been sewn into it. There are a bunch of different companies that make these, Wilderness Technology happens to be a brand that Next Adventure carries. This is the Wilderness Technology Hammock Suspension System. We’re just going to talk about one of the easiest ways using these daisy-chain straps. If you’re familiar with hammocks, you probably know that there's a thousand different ways to hang them.
