Find two sturdy trees 3-6 m (10-20 feet) apart with a clear and safe space between them. Open
the bag and pull out the suspension straps. Attach the
GREEN
carabiner around the
RIGHT
tree
(seen from inside hammock), so that the tree straps have an angle of about
30°
when in use. Stretch out
the ridgeline and the remaining suspension strap. Untangle and untwist webbing. Attach
RED
carabiner
around the
LEFT
tree. Do NOT make the mistake of tightening as much as possible to make the hammock
“more flat” - aim for
30°
as shown above.
1
Inflate your sleeping pad
(required in hammock for structure and insulation). Unzip zipper in the
head end of the hammock.
Insert
sleeping pad. There is a hole on the opposite side, the foot end,
for pulling the sleeping pad towards you. Once the sleeping pad is all the way in - prevent the pad from
moving by
folding
one of the two “stoppers” above the pad. The inner one is for small pads and the outer
for large pads. A large pad (198x65cm) will give more comfort, especially for tall people.
Close the zipper after locking the sleeping pad under the “stopper”.
2
Fold
the foot end over itself - the tip should be aligned with the grey side pockets. Sit down
carefully on top of the fold while
holding on
to the ridgeline. Your feet should touch the ground
- if not, adjust the suspension to lower the hammock.
Hold on
to the ridgeline, lean back, raise your legs
and let the foot end unfold. Put your feet inside the foot box, without shoes. Adjust your balance point
by pressing down with your hands and moving your body further up or down.
