How to hang a bear butt hammock

If you recently purchased a bear butt hammock and you are preparing to go camping but you don’t know how to hang one? Then continue reading, in this section, I’ll be teaching you how to hang your bear butt hammock in just 5 simple steps. It doesn’t get easier than that right? Yeah, I thought so too while making the steps.

  1. Measure the distance 

When setting up your bear butt hammock, the distance between the two trees should be about 12-15m. If you can’t get this measurement and it’s slightly less, don’t worry it’s still okay.

  1. The ropes

Now, undo the ropes and strap them around the trunk of the tree. Ensure that the distance from the ground is about 7 or 8ft.

  1. Cinching the hammock 

Lace your ropes through your carabiners so that you’ll be able to cinch your hammock to be as high or low as you want it to be. When you have found your desired position, tie it around a couple of times until it’s tight and secure. Do well to tug on the hammock to make sure it’s good and tight.

  1. Attempt a 30° angle

When setting the hammock, attempt a 30° from the hammock line to the tree. This step is crucial if you are want to make it perfect. If you are not too particular about perfection then this step wouldn’t matter much to you.

  1. The height of the hammock 

Ensure that the hammock is chair height above the ground (i.e., 12-18 inches). This height is good enough to keep you safe from crawling and other insects that live in camping areas. For the flying ones, you can purchase a hammock that has a mosquito net to protect you from those ones if your camping site is infested with them.
