Hanging Hammock Knots

January 31st, 2010 | by admin |

Hammock-Hanging Knots – This is my favorite way to hang a hammock, because it makes it so easy to adjust your hanging height.

The whipping around the tree will not slip if tied corerctly.

WARNING: Make sure you tie the SECOND HALF HITCH or the knot may SLIP and come loose.

As with all knots, use your own discression and be safe.

    You can use many knots for that.

    I don’t know if it has a name. I use a variation from the one that the Hennesey Hammock maker uses. Mine is simpler, in my opinion.

    I “invented” this one so I guess we’ll have to come up with a name for it!

    Thanks for watching.

    Hi there, what is the name of the first knot you do around the post (the one where you can go round several times and finish by passing it under the rope? Cheers.

    Yes, that’s threat #1.

    Threat #2 is that the knot may slowly slip loose — Don’t ask me how I know that…
