Tips for setting up camping hammocks

Hammock is lightweight camping equipment, and it is a good companion for picnics and hiking. It is lightweight, compact and easy to carry, and you can lie down and rest in place simply by spreading it out and hanging it.

Some people say hammocks slide easily? Afraid of being hit by falling branches when resting? Don't worry, remember the following points when we setup a hammock, so that we can avoid hidden dangers and enjoy a safe leisure time in the hammock.

1. Choose tree spacing according to hammock size.

The spacing between trees is determined according to the length of hammocks and straps. When setting up, you can find the feeling by adjusting the length of the sling several times, or by trying to tie more trees. It is suggested that the strap should make an angle of 30 degrees with the ground: it is very important to pull the hammock as tightly as possible and build a flatter sleeping platform for the quality of rest, but it will make the sides too tight.

2. Clean sharp objects to avoid injury.

When choosing a hammock site, be sure to clean up sharp objects on the ground, such as stones, branches and roots, so as to avoid the hammock from falling and being injured.

3. The hammock should not be too high, otherwise there is a risk of falling.

The hammock should be hung no more than 0.5 meters from the ground. When the lowest point of the hammock is at this height, it is relatively easy to climb out of the hammock, and falling out of the hammock is unlikely to cause serious injury.

4. Put a picnic mat under the hammock to superimpose the safety index.

A picnic mat with a certain thickness is laid under the hammock, which has a certain buffering and isolating effect when the body touches the ground and is not easy to be scratched by the sand on the ground.

5. Pay attention to high altitude to avoid falling objects hurting people.

When choosing a site, in addition to paying attention to the hidden dangers on the ground, we should also look up and see if there are hidden dangers of branches falling from the surrounding trees, so as to avoid building on trees that are old and dry, or whose branches and leaves are too lush for a long time.

6. Choosing a hammock with a tent can also avoid being hit by falling branches or being disturbed by small mosquitoes.
