SET UP INSTRUCTIONS

Distance between trees. The recommended distance between trees is 12' to 25' feet / 3.658 to 7.62 meter for the Expedition Asym and Ulralight Backpacker Asym models and 13'-26' / 3.962-7.925 meters for the Explorer and Safari models.

Height for tying up the hammock. Your hammock should be tied at a height that allows the hammock entrance to be at chair height when you sit down. The farther apart the trees, the higher up on the tree you'll have to attach your webbing straps.

Wrap webbing straps one or more times around tree and bring loops together in line with the opposite tree. Pass rope ends through webbing loops. Adjust hammock until centered and ridge line is level and under light tension. Wrap the loose rope end completely around the tensioned support rope and then drop rope end down into the space between the webbing loops and the tree.

Tighten any slack in the lashing. Repeat lashing at least 3 more times in this ?figure 8? pattern and tie off with two half hitches leaving at least 6?/15 cm of rope. Entrance should be at chair height under tension of your weight.
