Tip #6 - Setting up in the rain
Setting up in the rail is simple all it requires is an extra 6' of cord. I
carry a stake bag with some extra cord and my fly in an easy to get to place.
 |
 |
 |
| 1. Tie 3' cord to either end |
2. Both sides out, pack centered on the
ground, normally it would be under a pack cover. |
3. Stake sides out and now you can work dry
under the tarp. |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. Tie the hammock ends with quick releases
until you get it set. |
5. Finish tying the knots
on the ends. |
6. Tie off both sides of the hammock part to
one side so you have a vestibule to work under. |
If the storm is very bad, tie it off using the
Storm Pitch.

Tip #7 - Tear down in the rain
Tear down the hammock in the rain in the reverse of setting up in the rain.
 |
 |
 |
| 1. Pack the backpack most of the
way under your tarp. |
2. Use 3' cord on either end to
tie out the tarp. |
3. Pack the hammock without the
fly. Make sure everything is in the pack except what you plan to wear and
the tarp. |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. Take out the side stakes. The
pack would normally be inside a pack cover. |
5. When you take down the tarp,
make sure it covers your pack. |
6. Pack your steaks, cord, and
stuff in the tarp and your ready to go. |
