In the nominal version of the hammock allows itself to be used all conceivable ways. The simplest of these may be those that are shown in the next cutscene. I confess, I was pleasantly surprised when a tried these methods.
But that’s not all.
Extremals did not stop there. Willy-nilly, invented the hammock at first glance unusual for him ways to apply. If suddenly there were no trees near, a little contrived, and can come to the variant of the hammock as a tent.
Hikers / climbers also distinguished intelligence and offered to mount the hammock is not for the trees, and to the rocky terrain with stoppers and rifles.
In one photo seen as a hammock stretched U.S. Marines in the desert between the two armored cars.
Can we assume that fishermen hammock may be useful for fishing, where the bank is not possible to put up a tent, but it is possible to tighten the hammock.
If your imagination and ingenuity will be able to show other useful applications of this subject, then you are welcome to leave the results of their research in the comments.
If you are traveling to Yellowstone, for example, you probably already know that except for people looking for solitude and the animals. They are neighborhood people cause more unrest and anxiety than men. And as the number of people per square kilometer in the Crimea is large, probably in search of secluded places you will encounter the animals, who are trying to relax.
Therefore, when choosing a place to camp, pay your attention to the passing near animal trails, wild boars pitted ground, secluded water sources. It’s best if you do not settle in the immediate vicinity of such artifacts. It goes without saying that such a precaution will not give you 100% guarantee that you will avoid vstechi with them, but will reduce this probability.
Next, what you have to turn its attention, it is the crown of trees or overhanging terrain. Avoid places where there is dry twigs or risk the collapse of stones. I do not want to scare you such stories, but the recorded cases of people dying in his sleep, when they dropped something (in tents included).
Between the trees should be about 4.5 m. This distance is considered the best way to install a hammock. There will be better if these trees will not be too thick or too thin. Tolstoy have too much rope. Thin too kolyshatsya in the wind. 15-20 inches in diameter I think will be just right.
Along the sides and bottom of the hammock, too, is not should be seized foreign objects (often branches and bushes). After all, you will need somewhere else to stretch the tent (if you plan to put it). With its vibrations or due to fluctuations of trees a hammock should neither about that rub. Otherwise, these factors will serve the cause of unpleasant irritating sound. Read the rest of this entry »
When installing the camp is enough for me all four nodes. They are fairly simple. It is exact easier for Theoretical Physics. Of course, these sites can be used outside the context of installing a hammock. Who knows, maybe in life you will find them used. With me it happened.
The set is not all that you need for a nominal use of a hammock. It should be something else.
First, there are four (or two) pegs. You can make them by hand from scrap materials, and can take from those that are sold together in a tent. I wear a hat with aluminum pegs in the form of a hook. Would be better if stakes are sufficiently strong.
Why four or two? Because on one peg you can hang and delaying the curtain and the compensator. But I myself do not do it. When each rope on his peg it more reliable.
The second thing you certainly need is a mat. Perhaps it is not obvious, but to sleep in a hammock without a mat in nature will be chilly. The cool night breeze will blow you from the bottom and unpleasantly chilly. However, I can comfort you, in the summer it might not be a thick mat. I use Artiach Light weight at 208 PM me, it was enough.
A cheaper option, I do not advise you. But nothing will lose money. In these hammocks an ephemeral tissue, which in the advertising poster stands almost a hippopotamus, and you can take at the most inopportune moment. Element convenience and is not unimportant. Hiking conditions and so do not have the comfort that we used to have in their permanent homes. Exacerbate this situation should not think.

Where did the idea of using a hammock instead of a tent I do not remember. It seems in the travel forum. I only remember that first, this way of dividing the camp frightened. Unusual. Indeed. Where to put all things? Where to lodge with friends? In what position is during a prolonged rain? Go and not tell.
On the other hand, I often have to travel alone. Lots of space, I do not need. It sometimes happened that the route to such places, where a tent or not possible at all, or need to spend a lot of time before there is any kind of a decent place.
I’ve heard enough stories about how the tourists are “cash cows” for foresters. Do you want to stand here? You can not. But if you have some money, it can be. Of course foresters know very well where these fishing spots are, and always supervise them.
On one side is nice, do not give kindle fires in the wrong places, follow the procedure as they can. On the other hand is, and vice versa. From his powerful position some unscrupulous foresters do not disdain to extract (and extract) greed.

Ah, summer! At last you come! Sun, sea and long-awaited vacation. I was here a few days away in a private house, and stood there wonderful air chair stand, as well was to lie in the sun in a swinging hammock. So today I decided to write about them for those who have cottages or living in a private house, just a smart thing to rest.
Although anyone can be a healthy apartment and the apartment to buy a frame. Frame – a special stand, what sort of holder for a hammock.
Incidentally on hammock. They were invented long ago, before the opening of the New World American Indians. Then the production technology was transferred to the Europeans, and in the Middle Ages, is widely used on ships as a sleeping bag from the sailors and crew. Later hammocks are widespread in the port cities of the Old World, and later around the world. Well, now it is a convenient and fashionable accessory.
Brazil – stunningly beautiful and diverse country. For everyone who arrives in Brazil, it will “own”, but never the same. So gifts that bring out people, the most diverse but, nevertheless, there are things that reflect the national colors of Brazil. About them and should talk first.
Undoubtedly, the most popular and coveted tourist souvenirs – Indian products from stone, wood, leather and other materials. It is believed that such products, if they are made by hands of these Indians may be a good talisman or amulet, attracting force. In such cases, most often selected mascots made of mahogany – Pau Brasil (incidentally, in his honor and named the country). Especially appreciated figure in the form of fig (fig). Do not see it as a joke or a hoax. Quite the contrary – it is a symbol, holding off evil spirits and bringing good luck. But superstitious people can be a bit uncomfortable with the mysterious magic of the Indians. In this case they (or you) will approach one of the most popular Brazilian jewelry – bracelets woven fabric. Such a bracelet made to wrap around your wrist three times – for good luck.
Very popular and widely known action is the Brazilian Carnival, whose history begins in the XVII century. Due to the fact that the festivities and take part in it all, buy a carnival costume will have no difficulty. This costume will help you immerse yourself in the holiday atmosphere, and can be a great gift to your friends and acquaintances. I should add that in addition to this costume is desirable to buy a pair of drives with samba – fiery rhythmic Brazilian music, which absorbed and strangely laced in his African, Indian and European musical motifs.

Strongly advise you to pay attention to the various handmade lace and colorful Brazilian dresses, hand-painted, which we so often can be seen in the Brazilian soap operas. Traditionally, these things do in the north-east of the country, but you can stumble on them and in other regions. Clothing, swimwear and various souvenirs you can buy a weekly Sunday fair Hippie in Rio de Janeiro.
One of the biggest purchases that are worth doing in Brazil, – various precious and semiprecious stones. Here they are particularly good and significantly cheaper than, say, in USA. They are mined near Rio, and the range of choice is very wide: diamonds, emeralds, opals, amethysts, topaz, aquamarine, tourmaline, turquoise, and some others. Especially worth mentioning Brazilian aquamarines – they are very highly regarded jewelry artists. It is also very high quality and delicious products are made of cut glass.
In this age of stress and load all need some rest and relax. Of course, there are myriad ways to reach a state of pacification and calmness. But, undoubtedly, one of the best and nice – just lie down and do nothing. Here in Brazil, just know a lot about “lying” and “doing nothing”. As you may know, Brazil, and more precisely its northern part, is home to the hammocks. Hammock – excellent “place” to relax, that’s why Brazilian hammock is the same brand, as well as Russian vodka. In Brazil, widespread woven hammocks, which, incidentally, contrary to prevailing stereotypes, still more popular than woven. Woven hammocks surpass hurdle in many ways. First, they are much stronger, sometimes they put up to five people! Yes, do not be surprised, there are some family, hammocks. Secondly, they are much easier: they can arbitrarily long sleep and fall, not thinking about that, then your back muscles will ache and ache. Thirdly, they are very reliable: they can be put to sleep, even a child, without fear that during sleep he accidentally falls. There are even special hammocks for babies who are suspended in the crib.
Restaurant "Hammock"
As you can see, the hammock can be an excellent purchase and gift, for example, to newlyweds. Anyway anyone would be pleased to hang a hammock anywhere in the cottage and soak for an hour or two. In addition, Brazilian hammocks are very beautiful. On the canvas (and made it, by the way, from 100% cotton) can be woven into different patterns. Most often, of course, is different traditional Indian ornaments. Colors for such patterns have been carefully chosen, and this is followed not only the weavers, but also specific artists. Particular attention in the manufacture of the hammock, paid fringe. Hammock without fringe in Brazil is considered a “hammock for the poor.” Fringe is still made by hand from the Brazil nut. Because it is doing and-loop straps that attach to the hammock for a special hook. Sometimes, making a hammock takes from three to five months! You’ll make an unforgivable mistake, if a trip to Brazil and do not bring out the hammock, and a better couple to be, what to give to friends. Believe me, they will appreciate such a gift.
An unusual and pleasant souvenir can become a bottle of rum. Actually, strictly speaking, Cachaca – it’s nothing else like cane liquor, but on the table it will look very exotic. Cachaca – an integral part of culture of Brazil, so at the state level, it was decided to give Cachaça status commercial name spirits. Brazilians are clearly distinguished from the hacienda and rum factory production. Rum factory, of course, to get easier, but with Cachaça hacienda is valued more. It is made from crushed sugar cane, there is added to ferment corn flour, wheat bran, rice, soybeans or corn. Distillation of this rum is only a copper distillation cubes. Subsequently it is stored in wooden casks. The industrial mode of production – more than a quick and easy, and stored in wooden barrels Cachaça factory and not exposed. Good Cachaca tastes like brandy or whiskey, and the color – a weak tea with lemon. Cachaça is also used in a special cocktail – Caipirinha. Learn how to cook it very easy – you need lime, sugar, ice and, in fact, Cachaça. So if your friends or yourself, do not like strong drinks (and Cachaça by degrees approximately smooth “our” vodka), then you can surprise all original and delicious cocktail. But connoisseurs of alcoholic beverages can think of to draw attention to the rum.
And, of course, Brazil – a recognized leader in the production of coffee. That she is a pioneer in providing for the needs of the planet that drink. It began to grow coffee in the early XVI century. Brazil supplies the coffee for all tastes. Brazilian coffee relatively inexpensive. So there will be, from which to choose a gift for real coffee connoisseurs. And for myself would be superfluous to fall a few packages of good Brazilian coffee.
I want to warn you that in almost every part of Brazil traveler may encounter an offer to buy a very cheap price monkey, parrot, or even some livestock. Do this by no means impossible, as to remove the animal from a country without a whole heap of certificates, permits and quarantines you are unlikely to succeed. In general, it is considered a crime in Brazil heavier armed robbery! The same applies to traditional Indian jewelry made from feathers of exotic birds, armadillo shell, claws jaguars and similar materials. Manufacture such items for their “internal” needs the tribes, the leading traditional lifestyles is permitted in any quantity, but to sell the Indians have the right only under special state licenses, and then only to cultural institutions – museums and so on.
Of course a pity that you can not bring all of Brazil, to take all thence curios. But even a small part of them can affect anyone, but their purchase will give you great pleasure. Pleasant shopping and unusual discoveries!
In anticipation of summer and the upcoming holiday is very useful to think about purchasing a hammock. A gentle warm pastime in the country, a light breeze in the forest glade, sweet laziness endless summer day, a sense of quiet sleep – all that comes to mind when the word “hammock”. Representing yourself in it, you hear the rustle of leaves, feel smell fragrant summer flowers, a refreshing breath caressing wind.
Lying in a hammock, you can absolutely be liberated, to forget about everyday worries. In a hammock, you can safely read a book, slowly tasting fresh tomato juice, and soak up the sun and take a nap. Relaxing and soothing, lightweight and durable, it is perfectly suited for summer boredom. It suffices to find two tree trunk at a distance of three meters from each other, and you can sit perfectly on the rest.
Hammock recalls the exotic countries – jungle nights under the open sky, lost in the ocean, the eternal roar of the tides. For some people sleep in a hammock – the need, because there are reptiles, insects, which can not only interfere with sleep, but bite a sleeping person.
It is noticed that, while resting in a hammock, you will spend on recovery of strength is much less time than sleep in a normal bed. The fact is that when the human body is in a hammock, his weight is distributed over several hundred strong fibers, thus giving the rest the vestibular apparatus. Each point back is exposed acupressure at uniform swinging hammock.
In order to properly settle down in a hammock, come back to him and sit him in the middle, both on the sofa. Do not try to immediately climb on a hammock feet! When you sit on the hammock, straighten him behind his back (like the couch), the upper edge should come to you to the shoulders (you can even throw the far edge of the hammock on his head). Now just sit on the hammock and straighten it by myself, so take the most comfortable position. You find yourself sitting in it across, the rope will be on the right and left.
To lie in the hammock, just unroll from the seated position: first, the upper body, and then drop your feet on a hammock along the track. If a sufficiently broad canvas, you can wrap himself in it as in a cocoon.
