Using Rope: (may come included when you buy your hammock)

1. Use rope that will not stretch: Take a 10-20 foot rope and fold it in half. Tie both ends with a double overhand knot. Use the double overhand to create more loops to attach your hammock to the rope. You will need two of these.
2. Wrap your double rope around the tree: Take the ending loop of either end, put the opposite end through that loop and pull the rest of the rope to tightly secure your it.
3. Attach your hammock: You can increase or decrease the tension or distance of your hammock by putting your carabiner though the loops created by the double overhand.
