Building a Rope Hammock in the Woods. Bushcraft
Hello My name is Osman. In order to spend the night in the wood, I will knit a hammock. To do this, I have 100 meters of the most ordinary rope. For convenience, I cut it in half. In autumn, spring, and even summer, on rainy days, the forest is wet, so a hammock is a very convenient way to spend the night. First I need to find four strong trees at a convenient distance to weave a rectangular hammock. I fix the rope with the two halfhitches knot, then start knitting an alpine butterfly bend knot. The peculiarity of this node is the uniform distribution of the load, so this node suits me. I knit the butterfly knots quite often, because it is worth considering the stretching of the rope under load. It s necessary to make nodes around the perimeter. It is important that the rope is well stretched. Having tied the rope around each tree, I fix it again with a two halfhitches knot.
