ABSTRACT:
A device for harnessing a hammock to a tree or other load bearing member comprises a gripping belt, and spanning belt, and preferably a belt loop which helps to anchor the belts together, and a snap-hook for securing the spanning belt to the hammock. The gripping belt includes a belt buckle for releasably cinching the gripping belt around the load bearing member. The spanning belt is dimensioned for encircling the load bearing member and spanning the distance between the hammock and the load bearing member. A section of the interior portion of the spanning belt is twisted over and anchored to the gripping belt at a preselected belt intersection area, so that the free end portions of the spanning belt extend away from and below the intersection area at a preselected angle correlatable with known angles assumed by the spanning belt when hammocks are harnessed to load bearing members and placed under loads.
