How to Make a Hammock

You can make a hammock if you have a poncho, parachute, or any other suitable fabric of size.

To make a hammock:

  1. Find a cluster of 3 trees that form a narrow triangle.
  2. If you are using a poncho, fold it into thirds before securing it to the trees so that it will support your weight. If you are using a parachute, use four sections of the canopy and fold them into a triangle before attaching it to the trees.

Keep in mind that hammocks made from ponchos and parachute canopies are just as good at holding water as they are at holding you. This can be good if you need drinking water, bad if you are trying to sleep.
