It depends on how far apart the trees are, but I have put up my hammock drum tight nearly, got in and been touching the floor half an hour later, restrung hammock and then it stretches again but slower, I need a static rope!Nemisis said:Thanks for the warning goose I thought the stretching would only happen in a fall

addyb said:Yep, that's right. That stretching is what saves a climbers life in a fall. (Well, assuming you're roped in) Don't ask about my un-roped ice-axe berhshrund fall. Very bad story!
