Between Trees

Find two solid alive trees big enough to support the weight you need. Use the two pieces of rope & dowel in your Lounger Rope Kit.

Wrap the rope around the trunk at least twice so your rope does not slide down your tree. Loop through the pre-tied bowline knots for a secure hold and hang at the desired height.
