I love my hammock, but I don't get to use it that much. Many times there are not two tress close enough together on out campsite. It can be hard finding the perfect place to set it up. Mine is short, so I need to have the trees kind of close together.

It does need trees at the right distance. Most of the place I camp do have woods as we tend to do a lot of bush craft and things when I camp. However, more traditional public campsites don't always have the right trees.

I have seen people only pitch one side of the hammock as the underside could be used as a ground sheet. I have never tried that though.

One of my friend used a stave on one side and pitched against one tree. It seemed to work well for him although he has a slightly different style hammock to mine.

That is very interesting. I thought about getting one of those bracket so you can pitch it on the back of your truck, but that just doesn't feel right. It isn't quite the same as doing it between a couple trees!
