can you do all that in a 30 Knot wind?
[MENTION=197614]fietsbob[/MENTION], the simple answer is, "Yes." First, I can't imagine there would be any problem at all setting up the Handy Hammock stuff, as it's just cord and poles that aren't going to be blown away. It can be a struggle to guy out a hammock and tarp in a hard blow, but I've done it several times. Once set up, no problem, as I've included 12" lengths of shock cord into the tensioners on my tarp and hammock.

And to be fair, wind is certainly not just a hammock issue. I can remember struggling mightily to deal with especially freestanding tents in the wind.
