If you don't tie it really tight to the tree, you will slide to the center in a ball because it is a slick material.
I bring my EAGLE'S NEST Hammock on all my camping trips, Backpacking or just Car-camping.
Just a tarp and Hammock makes a great backcountry
shelter for a light weight pack trip.
Great product, built to last although I'd like to see the total weight with bug net and rain fly weigh under three pounds...
