August 7, 2019

Hammock camping can be a liberating experience. Any avid camper knows that there’s nothing better than packing up camp and continuing to your next destination with your home on your back. But with hammock camping, it gets even easier. With the tiny size of hammocks when they fold up, and no need to carry around heavy tent stakes and poles, backpacking just got even more convenient. Especially considering that you can put up camp literally anywhere, as long as there are some trees or a pole to tie your hammock to. But to fully embrace your hammock camping experience, you’re going to need to know the best hammock knots. That’s why we’re here to help.

We’re so excited by this new trend in camping that we’ve thought of some benefits, to try and convince you to give it a go!

Sleeping in a hammock is eminently more comfortable than sleeping in a tent. Being off the ground means you miss rolling onto a rock that you might have forgotten to clear from your campsite. The suspension provides you with support after a long day hiking.
Unlike with tents, you can pitch your hammock anywhere you choose – so long as there are some strong trees, preferably about 5m apart. This opens up a world of possibilities for minimalist hikers and adventure seekers, meaning that you can rest in even more rocky or thrilling terrains.
In a hammock, you’re also more protected from the elements – despite how it might look! Because you’re suspended above the ground, you avoid the rainwater or snow which could potentially seep into the bottom of your tent from the ground.
Hammocks are also often far cheaper than tents
Hammocks are lightweight, and portable, meaning you can reserve your energy for the things that really matter in your outdoor adventure
Hammock camping is even more eco-friendly, you leave no mark or trace once you have packed up your camping hammock, as opposed to damaged grass or peg holes left after tent camping.
They’re easier to waterproof than waterproofing your tent
It’s easy to set up… or is it?

Camping hammocks certainly look very easy to set up. But when we take into consideration the safety risks involved, we might have to be a bit more vigilant when learning the “ropes”. There is an obvious safety risk involved with hammock camping, that for some reason – maybe a shoddy knot – a person could fall from their camping hammock, especially if it is at a great height.

Learning how to set up your camping hammock safely and securely is of utmost importance, so we’ve compiled some of our top tips for you, including how to tie the best knot for your hammock.

Sleeping in a hammock isn’t just for the summer. With the right gear, you can use your hammock year-round.

Where should I set up my hammock?

Unlike tents, hammocks can really be set up anywhere, providing that there are anchor points, like poles or trees. The supporting structures have to be very sturdy and spaced at about 5m apart. To check that trees are sturdy enough to support your night of beauty sleep, make sure to check that the tree is still alive and healthy before setting up your hammock. You definitely don’t want to be waking to a creaking and swaying tree in the middle of a windy knight – and wonder whether it could fall on you!

Usually, the ropes for tying your hammock are in the package – so set up your tent in your preferred location at a height to allow you to be perfectly suspended above the ground – but not too high up. And, unless you’re an experienced hammock camper, we would recommend that you don’t hang your hammock above any sharp or hard surface, just in case. Once you’ve got your site, ropes, and height sorted, the next step is to fasten your ropes. And this is where the debate begins…

How can I securely fasten my camping hammock?

One option for securing your hammock is by using hardware. We would recommend you using some hardware to secure your hammock, especially if you are new to hammock camping. The hardware for a camping hammock is what is used in the place of a knot. This can take the form of a carabineer, toggle, clip or a whole range of other solutions.

Hardware is often easier than tying knots and can be a lot faster. Also if you’re new to tying the exact right knot for your hammock, it could give you some peace of mind to take a piece of hardware with you. We would recommend a carabineer, a ring, which is sometimes D shaped, often used by rock climbers.

With a small latch that opens inwards, the carabineer can be used as an important part of your suspension. Alternately, you can opt for the DIY solution for hardware: the toggle. This is usually a stick, that loops through a hole and can be used to attach the webbing to the hammock cord.

Despite the useful camping hack of the toggle or carabineer, we can’t discount the need for the trusty knot. It’s possible that while you’re camping, or hiking, your hardware could break – or maybe you could leave it somewhere and forget it. Also, as you get more practiced at hammock camping, you might want to go totally DIY, and do hammock camping the old school way. So, to help you on your travels, we’ve compiled instructions for making our favorite hammock knots.

The perfect hammock knot can be the difference between a good nights sleep and a bad one.

How do I tie the best hammock knots?

Before we take you to the step-by-step guide for different knots, we have one word for you: friction. The safest way to hang your hammock is to allow friction to do most of the work for you, to put less pressure on your knot. When you’re setting up your hammock, you should start by tying your rope as many times as possible around the tree or pole. If you wrap and tie the rope as tightly as possible, this step should stop the rope from slipping. If you’re setting up your hammock on a tree, try tying it just above a fork, or branch, for extra security. That way, there’s always something in the way to stop your rope, even if it does slip a little.

You should also consider the type of rope you’re using. There are lots of ropes out there, and your hammock will probably come with some, but check its material before you buy. One option you should look for is a cotton rope, which is resistant to UV rays, so it won’t wear out over time. Cotton also isn’t affected by getting wet, and it’s strong enough to hold you in your hammock.

Remember to seal the ends of your cotton rope so they don’t fray: if you treat your cotton ropes well, they will repay you, as they hold knots very well so are likely to keep you safe while you sleep! Your hammock may have come with a paracord rope. These ropes are durable, and can hold a lot of weight, but are very thin. So consider doubling them up for more strength in your knot tying.

If you have used the right type of rope and secured it tightly (many times) around your tree or pole, then even a simple knot should keep your hammock safe from moving. However, there’s no harm in knowing the best hammock knots, especially if it can mean that extra level of safety to help you sleep tight at night under the stars. So here they are:

The Bowline Knot

The Bowline knot is the most popular knot used amongst hammock campers, and it’s one that we would personally recommend to tighten your hammock to your tree rope. It’s so strong that it’s even the one used by sailors to attach their sails. We would recommend it due to it’s tied and tested strength, and because it’s versatile and can be adjusted to any size. It does not jam and is easy to tie and untie. It can easily be secured on a tree, and the strength of the knot is not phased by tension, so this is the classic bet to keep your hammock – and you – safe.

Guide:

Lay the rope on your left hand, with the free end hanging down on your palm. Make a small loop in the middle of the rope in your hand, pass the long end up and around your tent rope, and through the loop
Pass the end to the left, under the rope above the loop,
Then pass the end under the rope furthest from you, and bring it down through the loop
Tighten the knot by pulling on the free end while holding the standing line.

The Two Half Hitch (or three!)

The two half hitch, though less popular, is also another useful knot for securing your hammock to the anchor point. It’s sturdy, doesn’t jam and moves easily so you can adjust the length and distance from the tree. Here’s how you make a two half-hitch knot:

Pass the running end of the rope behind and around the post or tree
Bring the end over and around the long end of the rope, and back through the loop that is formed
Repeat the first two steps, adding another half hitch knot next to the first
Add another half hitch knot if you have the extra rope, for added security

The Becket Hitch

The becket hitch is another knot with a story: it’s been around for a long time, since before Columbia, and in South America, it’s just referred to as the “hammock knot”. But this doesn’t mean that the becket hitch is out of date or old fashioned. It’s stood the test of time, and can still be used in the modern-day as a safe, durable knot for hammock hanging. We would recommend using the becket hitch with webbing or sheathed rope, as thinner ropes – even if you double or triple wrap them – can slip, making them harder to tie and untie thus rendering the hitch useless. To protect the great outdoors while you are adventuring in it, we would also recommend webbing due to it protecting the tree from damage while your hammock is attached to it. It also acts as a nifty suspension line.

Tying the becket hitch:

- Pass the webbing or suspension rope through the loop at the top of your hammock.
- Leave a loop to the right, and pass the rope back under the hammock loop
- Create a loop out of the end of the rope, and pass the folded piece of rope through the loop you have left on the right.
- To tighten the rope and seal the knot, pull the folded rope on the right simultaneously with the attached piece of webbing or suspension rope
- When you want to loosen the becket hitch knot, just push down on your hammock rope loop to the left, away from the loop of the knot.

The Tautline Hitch

This hitch is popular amongst campers and is even the knot that the Boy Scouts of America recommend for an adjustable sliding knot. This is a multipurpose camping knot that is also very useful for setting up your camping hammock: it can be easily slipped and adjusted to tighten or loosen a line but holds fast under a load.

Tying the Tautline Hitch:

- Pass the end of your rope through the loop, and pack under the taut rope.
- Bring the end of the rope up, and down through the loop
- Pass the end of the rope up again, and back down through the loop, creating two consecutive loops along the taut rope
- Through the loop, pass the end of the rope to the right of the first two loops.
- Take it behind the taut rope, and bring it back down through the small loop underneath which was created by the last step.
- Pull the end of the rope, holding the taut rope taught, to tighten the knot.
- Slide the knot on the standing line to adjust the tension.

Mastering these knots is a vital step towards becoming a safer camper, and harnessing more of what the great outdoors has to offer. Although you can start with some hardware, it’s important to know these knots just in case your hardware breaks or is lost. It will also bring you one step further to the DIY Bear Grylls camping adventure.

There are a few other things you can do to hammock camp more safely, other than tying the best hammock knots. Firstly you should think about the color of your hammock. If you’re going to be camping in the woods or forests or remote locations, it’s important to think about the potential safety risks. For example, in some situations, you should camouflage your tent so that it’s unseen by wildlife as you sleep. This is especially important if you’re going on a hunting trip – it’s better to maintain low visibility while you camp, to avoid scaring the wildlife off. If you’re going for a more low-key camping experience, or you’re staying in a large campsite or even using a camping hammock at a festival, it might be best to get a bright color so you can spot your hammock at a distance. Also, you should look into getting brightly colored ropes that are visible, so people don’t walk into them in the middle of the night.

The gathered end hammock is the most popular type, and it’s what we’d recommend for you to try first. Some of the other options of hammocks have bars or heavier components. The gathered end hammock is easy to store, and to set up, you’ll only have to use one set of knots rather than dealing with multiple ropes. Some of the other benefits of a gathered end hammock is that it’s easy to get in and out of, and you can easily lie at an angle on it, meaning you can sleep a little flatter and easier at night. They also don’t take up much space, so you won’t need to use a huge piece of tarp, which makes it eminently easier to transport.

Hammock camping is perfect for dense, wooded areas and by lakes.

Final Verdict:

So, we’ve run you through the benefits of hammock camping, where to set up your hammock, how to securely fasten your hammock to the anchors (the two trees, posts or points where your hammock hangs from), and how to tie the best hammock knots.

What works best for us is using the simple gathered end hammock, and the becket hitch knot. We’ve found that this approach to camping has opened up a whole new world of adventures. Instead of having to drive out to a campsite with a bunch of kit, it’s now so much easier to just throw your hammock in your backpack, set off and be impulsive. We can now camp anywhere we like, so when a beautiful moment like a sunset happens we don’t have to rush away to get back to camp: we can set it up right there and then. The Becket Hitch is also the best option for us as far as knots go for backpackers, it’s never done us wrong. It’s light, requires no extra hardware, is simple and easy to remember, it’s easily adjustable, doesn’t bind, has a quick release, and unties quickly. All you need from a knot to keep your hikes light, spontaneous, and hassle-free.

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

Published

October 18, 2025

Jonas Muthoni

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.

But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.

So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.

Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive

Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.

Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.

For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.

The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network

Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.

Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.

The best configuration depends on three variables:

Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.

Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.

Lessons from the Field

Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.

There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.

When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.

The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.

The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive

This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:

Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.

WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.

Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer

External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:

Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.

Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.

This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.

Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know

According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.

For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.

Some planning advice:

Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.

Real-World Use Cases

Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:

Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.

Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.

Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations

Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.

That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.

Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.

Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical

The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.

“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”

Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.

How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving

Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:

Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.

A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.

Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”

In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.

The technical crew set up:

Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
A satellite uplink for backup

The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.

Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility

According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:

“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”

The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events

As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:

Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions

For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.

Multi-tools come equipped with a variety of features such as knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and scissors, all compactly housed in a single device that easily fits in your pocket or pack.

The practicality of a multi-tool is hard to beat. It allows you to tackle unexpected tasks, from cutting rope to repairing gear, all without needing to carry a full toolbox. When you’re out in the wild, you want to be prepared for anything, and a multi-tool ensures you’re ready to handle small emergencies or make quick fixes with ease.

Insulated Water Bottles Can Improve Your Outdoor Experience

Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity. Whether you’re embarking on a long hike or spending hours in a hunting blind, having an insulated water bottle can make a difference. Insulated bottles have features that help to keep your drinks at the desired temperature for a long time, which is especially useful during extreme weather conditions.

These bottles maintain the temperature of your beverage—whether cold or hot—so you can enjoy refreshing water in the summer or a warm drink during chilly morning hunts. Insulated water bottles are also typically made from durable materials, meaning they can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without breaking or leaking. Investing in a high-quality insulated bottle ensures that you stay hydrated and comfortable throughout your outdoor excursions.

Durable Backpacks Can Enhance Your Outdoor Experience

A good backpack is the cornerstone of any successful outdoor trip. When you’re out in nature, you need a reliable, durable pack to carry all of your gear comfortably. Look for backpacks that are built to withstand harsh conditions, provide ample storage, and have ergonomic designs that distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on your back and shoulders.

Modern outdoor backpacks come equipped with multiple compartments to help you stay organized, as well as specialized features like hydration bladder compatibility, rain covers, and reinforced straps. By investing in a durable, well-designed backpack, you’ll have the capacity to carry everything you need—whether it’s extra clothing, food, or hunting gear—while maintaining comfort during long treks.
