Our hammock is extremely stable when setup/used properly. However, if
you’re not used to hammocks or have been using gathered end hammocks
(ENO’s, etc) that have a lower center of gravity, the BRCH will feel different
and may take a few tries to get used to. Play around with different strap
tensions and laying at different angles to figure out what works best for you.
Some people like it as tight as possible, while other like more slack/sag
(lowering the center of gravity). You can also stake down/tie off the four
corner using cord by connecting it to the webbing tabs where the arch poles
insert into the grommets. Staking/tying off diagonally under the hammock
tends to work best.
IS THERE A WAY TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD IF NEEDED FOR LONG
DISTANCE/BACKCOUNTRY BACKPACKING?
Yes. The easiest way and thing that makes the most difference is removing
the spreader bars. This changes the “lay” of the hammock slightly, but it still
lays flatter than other hammocks. To do this, just untie the black ropes
where they attach to the hammock grommets, slide bars off and then retie
same way. Other things you can do are just use one arch pole at the head of
the hammock and eliminate the stuff sack and/or rain fly (if it’s definitely
not going to rain or if you have another tarp).
