Here is a quick video showing how I hang a hammock using ropes instead of tree straps. (straps would be the preferred way as ropes could cause tree damage) You only need to know how to do 2 different knots to perform this.
*Please note that Paracord or other lightweight cord should not be used for this. Make sure the rope has a weight limit that can support you and is made for supporting human weight**

![The 10 BEST Knots in Life [For VISUAL Learners]](/img/1.gif)
Was gifted a hammock by a (now passed) El-Salvadorian friend, but until recently, had no way to hang it. We moved 2 years ago, and now have plenty of pine trees in the back yard. Going to the box store tomorrow and buy the nylon rope, and finally hang this bad boy up. Thank you Jason for your easy to follow instructions. I'm actually kinda excited to get this thing finally done.
Sorry about the loss of your friend. Glad this was helpful and you can enjoy the gift ☺️.
I fell out of my hammock 2 times before watching this video with my own knots 😂😂 now I’m laying in it thank you so much
😆. I know it's not funny lol but I hope you didn't get hurt. Glad this helped you out 👍.

Thanks for the help Jason! I was unsure on how to hang one but when I saw ur vid I was happy haha! At first I didn’t trust the thing because it seemed like it would fall but it didn’t, Thanks!
Great! 👍. Glad this was helpful.
So helpful! I appreciate this video. Preparing to assemble my hammock now ( :
Thank you 👍. Hope it works out for you.
Fantastic, thank you! Pro tip for viewers: play at 0.75 speed to see the knots clearly.
Looks good. Good backup if you forget the straps. Thanks and take care.
Thanks and thank you for watching!
Love this.. So damn SIMPLE and everyone should know how to hang a hammock because they think it's so difficult with the ropes that comes with one of the cheaper that doesn't have the simple wrap-around-tree and hang... :)
Thank you. Yes its a simple way to make it work for when you only have the ropes. Straps are still the best way whenever possible.
thanks for the video! really helpful! will try to practice it on my next video!
Sweet 👍. Hope it works for you.
Worked a treat
Fuck yeah bro you really came in clutch for us! Appreciate you and what you do!

Love the backing track, it sounds so familiar
If you think of it let me know. I can't think of anything that it sounds similar to. Thanks for watching.
Sick intro bro!
Thank you !!! 😮
Thank you, random person!
I don't get the first overhand knot! Your hands cover it!!!!
Sorry for that...here is a close up I just made for you...ruclips.net/video/MF7S-MFx6Y4/видео.html
@@JasonOutdoors Had the same problem, thank you for the follow up video
@@JasonOutdoors what a king
Great vid! We use hammocks occasionally...the desert is short on trees. Hope to see more of your hiking vids later, Thnx!
Thank you! Hopefully it was of some help. I've got 2 trips coming up in the next couple weeks so I should have more vids on the way. Thanks for watching.
Nice video 👍🏻
Thanks! Great video
Glad you liked it!
Excellent!! Thank you!
You are welcome 👍
Thanks!
Can you tell us what rope specs you are using that keeps it's form so well? I want to get some eBay Paracord... But I can't tell what is crap or going to be the same weak quality as the ones they sell at Dollar Tree.
Those ropes are 1/4 braided Polly similar to this: www.harborfreight.com/100-ft-x-1-4-quarter-inch-diamond-braid-rope-92112.html.
I would definitely stay away from Paracord to hang a hammock. Paracord will stretch and snap under the weight of a person.
Thanks a bundle. Cheers from Denmark
You're welcome.. glad this helps
Thanks mate, any tips on getting the angle and height setup right?
A lot of it is gonna be trial and error. It will depend on the length of your rope as well as distance between trees, how low or high do you like it. I would start with the rope about chest high on the tree and see how you like it and adjust from there. The nice thing is you'll be able to loosten the rope from around the tree and adjust up and down as you like.
Thanks for the tips. I tried to hang it with para cord. My paragliding carabiners were catapulted at me when it snapped and nearly broke my hand. 😂
Glad to help. Ouch.. I bet that hurt.
Jason Outdoors It did a bit! 😁
So I can’t use paracord?
No, it stretches and will break
me and my friend tried to put up our hammocks with this tutorial. but unfortunately we didn’t have the clipy thing so we figured it out. thanks anyways, jason
Sorry it didn't work out for you. Thanks for watching.
Cheers mate!
🍻😊
Nice mate, I learnt something.
For the 1st knot around the tree you could substitute for a bowline knot? I love the 2nd knot - the slip knot - for connecting to the carabiner and how easy it is to adjust. I've been using a girth hitch or clove hitch (depending on my mood) for the carabiner part and they are nowhere this easy to adjust.....yay! PS, for the 2nd slip know you could stick a little twig in there for extra precaution.
Bowline would definitely work. Good idea with the stick👍
This guy is awesome
Thanks Patrick 👍
Thank you Jason
You're welcome 👍
@@JasonOutdoors the tree ropes supplied with my kit did not inspire any confidence until I watched your tutorial.. I figured if you were willing to use them, I'd give the supplied equipment a chance...well..
"Load and Behold'..worked like a charm..thanks again.
Mt. Clemens MI.
Awesome.. I'm glad this worked out for you.
Thank you
I'm about to give it a try
Great 👍 hope it works out for you.
@@JasonOutdoors it worked out great! I wouldn't have been able to set it up safely and secure if it wasn't for your video. Me and my girlfriend both say thank you!
@@jesusvarela33 you are both welcome. Always glad when I help someone out 👍🤗
Thank the lord for this video. I lost my eno straps😂😂😂😂 awesome and easy tutorial
Awesome! Glad it was of some help. Thanks for watching.
Just got my first house
Thank youuu
Welcome 😊
Nice.
Thanks for watching
Having a hard time tying the second slip knot to secure the first one... any suggestions?
what is giving you trouble? Is the second knot not holding for you? Without seeing what's going on its hard to know but I'll try to help.
@@JasonOutdoors I tie the second slip knot and it does not hold. I'm probably tying the second one wrong. Do you have any suggestions?
Assuming you are tying it correctly it could be the rope you are using. If the rope is too smooth the knot might not grab. Otherwise I would double check you are tying it correctly.
Good tutorial - my only suggestion would be to use a taut line hitch instead of two slipknots, just for simplicity's sake
When I tried a tautline hitch it felt a little slippy. Didn't try it with a hammock, though, to be fair. Just tied to a post and pulling with my arms.
I hope it's this easy come tomorrow. 😂
I'm sure you'll do just fine 👍
Thankyou! My hammock does not even come with straps, just with rope.
Awesome 👍 Glad it helped.
I'm sorry but I cannot leave a trail so I'm deleting this video from my history and cannot like the video or people will think I didn't know how to do this my entire life. Good video though. Thanks
I feel like I followed your direction, watched over and over and it still slid down. The two slip knots just wouldn’t hold. I had to tie a bunch of other knots just to make sure I don’t ended up on the floor. Ok, first time I actually did. Was using what the hardware store calls “braided utility line.” Anyways, I ordered those straps off of amazon that cut the time to a couple minutes set up. I literally lost an hour of chill time and daylight cause I’m just not cut out for the rope game. To be fair I first used the method of another RUclipsr who’s system was way too complicated and the rope slipped. At least yours was more user friendly. Gratitude: when I get my straps, I’ll really appreciate the process and modern ingenuity. Thanks for your video! 🙏🏾
Sorry it didn't work out for you. The straps are the way to go for sure. More user friendly and better on the trees. This rope method works well with the ropes that come with some hammocks.
All video only show how to tie onto tree but no video show how to tie a hammock to rope, my hammock came with just 2 ear on each end and 2 separate carabiner there is no loop to put rope or carabiner on
I'm not sure I fully understand. If your hammock has loops on the ends and you have carabineers can't you just put the carabineers on the loops. The one minute 15 second mark in the video shows how to tie the knot that attaches to the carabineers.
@@JasonOutdoors There is no loop, just 2 ear no loop no hole nothing I purchase from walmart website
I'll look on the website to see if I can see what it looks like.
Well shit. That’s easy.
HOLY FUCK I JUST LEARNED NEW KNOTS
Dude how the fuck am i supposed to see anything when ur hands are on the way
The pinned comment has a video link to a better view.
Thanks!
No problem!
