Cut a hole at the centre point and make sure that's the lowest point?jameso wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 8:19 amIt's be ok as long as you're on the uphill side?Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 8:06 am Fantastic fun when someone decides they want a slash at 3.00am
Double use too: trampoline for morning pre-ride exercises.

That's the kind of slash that I thought @bearbonesnorm was referring to...Cut a hole at the centre point and make sure that's the lowest point?

They've solved that by suspending it over the firepit.Need a bloody lot of down for the equivalent under quilt.

Classic multi-use equipment approach.
1) Use it as a giant net to catch fish
2) Use it to hold fish over fire to smoke them
3) Play on the trampoline while tea's cooking
4) Sleep on it

Re: Couldn't you just have some fun with this ...
These things are great. My mate in Colorado has one and we used it on a couple of trips into the Rockies. It's heavy, bulky, takes ages to set up and you do need three trees in pretty much exactly the right place. But it's reasonably stable when done right and you don't get much movement when someone slides out for wee. We had large closed cell foam mats to sleep on, which were very comfortable and warm enough.
He bought a proper cover for it the second trip out, which was great because the mess of tarps we had to sling over it the first time we had it out took hours to set up, and leaked anyway.
It's a top place to hang out in - the kids spent hours playing cards and mucking about. Sadly, its application as a trampoline is limited - it's just not bouncy enough. Which is a good thing if you want to actually sleep.
