Situation: Hammock camper. One or no trees available to hang from. But rock wall or boulder with cracks available. Solution: Nuts vs. being grounded and having to lug around a sleeping pad.

At the Hennessy Hammock site a user showed how he used couple nuts and a carabiner to hang one end of his hammock.

Questions: 1. What size nut relative to the crack do you select. 2. What is the proper way of inserting the nut. 3. How do you remove the nut? 4. Are two nuts at each end of the hammock necessary? The hammock will pull out and downwards between 20-45 degrees. 5. Links to any primers on the use of climbing hardware?

Couple different nuts I came across are the WildCountry Superlights Rock. Curved and tapered allowing slotting 4 different ways. The other nuts are the DMM Alloy Offsets. The double transverse taper relieved sides supposedly make them more secure and versatile. Real world practical or just a gimmick?
