Backcountry/Camping tip of the day!

FedEx dropped off a package for me today. It's a hammock I ordered for my fall elk hunting trip.

Now those of you that use hammock know, you need to have something to attach your hammock to the tree. Yes, you could buy the straps specifically made for that purpose, but save your 25-35 bucks. There's something that you already (or should already) have that will work even better than what you can buy!

Your Life Line & Tree Strap:



They will allow you to reach the widest span between trees and the give you infinite adjustability.

Not gonna lie, I'm happy I thought of this before I bought or made something

 

Heck, if the weather cooperates, I'll rock this setup at the G2G

 

I bought the hennessy hammock for that same hunting. good stuff.

Sweet! Good thinking. How nice of hammock did you get? I dont have life lines, but i dont need them since almost all of my hunts will be from a climber. There might be time where i pack in my LW sticks and stand though this season.

 

LW Climbing Stick & Stand Straps would work also.

 

This is the hammock I got: http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Portable-Parachute-Silk-Hammock/7518963/product.html?CID=208011

 

Nice. Ive always enjoyed laying in hammocks, i might have to get one to nap in this summer

 

guess I am old school I still use a old military jungle hammock cant beat all the bug screening on it

 

Nice Fitz, I used to use a hammock when I camped in the back country but now my old self likes air mattresses! :D They do make good grizzly bear feed bins though. :D :D

 

Pretty darn good idea there

 

Hennessy has pads they sell also to keep the heat in for cool nights. Think heat shield blanket.
