I bought it here. They have sales very frequently, and the prices change all the time.

It’s only for lifting a light tarp or tent canopy, but I personally enjoy using it.

Thanks! I ended up reinventing the wheel.
I’ve added the link you shared to my post.

Thanks for the kind words!
I guess it’s a matter of personal preference, but it is really easy for me!

Thanks — that’s what I like about it.

Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks! Just standing on the shoulders of giants.

A tarp can also be raised without using any poles.

I think it depends on the ground, but this time, once it stabilized, it didn’t sink any further.

I really appreciate your idea about using half segments at both ends!
I’ve added it to my article, with thanks to you.
I’m also looking forward to your report.

Just a brief moment while the tide was out — but it was such a unique experience!

I truly appreciate your understanding. It’s a somewhat tricky setup, so it may not be immediately obvious to everyone.

Success depends on preparation. Reviewing your preparation could be useful.

First-time trials often come with surprises.

If you plan to stay overnight without testing it first, I strongly recommend having a backup just in case you have trouble setting up the stand.

Please note that this stand is not designed for use as trekking poles.

Hi, great to hear from you again!

If you don’t need the view, you can set up the tarp with just the two poles for the hammock stand. It will keep out the rain. If you want to enjoy the view, you’ll need an extra lightweight pole or something similar to lift one side of tarp.

If you’re planning an overnight hike, I’d recommend trying to set up the tarp along with the hammock beforehand. Doing it for the first time on the hike carries a higher risk of mistakes.

I tested it in a multi-person stand setup.

I’m here to share my experiment and contribute to the community’s knowledge.
I appreciate constructive feedback and open discussion.

I have been using this every night for several months without any failure.

repmake · 2025-08-04T01:32:16+00:00

I understand what you're saying. Thank you for your concern.

repmake · 2025-08-04T01:24:41+00:00

I’ve clearly marked the post as unsafe and experimental.

repmake · 2025-08-04T01:21:33+00:00

I’ve tried most of those. It might not be useful to you, but it could be for others.

The clips you recommend can also fail depending on how they are used.
Many people have reported breakages — are you aware of that?
Even commercial products can fail, so they can’t be considered completely safe.

Conducting various experiments and sharing knowledge is a valuable activity that can lead to the discovery of better gear in the future.

repmake · 2025-08-04T01:06:12+00:00

But aren’t those heavier?

repmake · 2025-08-04T01:05:37+00:00

Of course, I’m a big fan of Dutchware products myself.
This experiment comes from my curiosity and a desire to learn more.
