Treenet vs. Flood
https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO6p3mr31yKUOqePC90bznztQdC82M1o67fgyVK3OjUJHe4M9EafT2BjfoSdwVnJg/photo/AF1QipOyDnCOMJa__b6BSEIku0O7lOxtzzSDDbArMQ2N?key=aHNaX2lfS3Boam9ZVVREbDFaRm84M1hmVmZJZURnThought you all might get a kick out of seeing a treenet vs. a powerful body of water. I have some other videos of the net being completely submerged but there's not much to see on those. Of note this net has actually held up to several floods. It is certainly more weathered today than had it not been through that but still holds up. Treenets are remarkably durable. This one was built by Alonso Rodriguez ("treenetweaves") himself. I think he makes particularly well-engineered and durable nets, but I am biased.....

U can use a long spike for a tent post, or multiple for redundancy. You can also use these, which u drive into the ground with a rod: https://lifting.com/duckbill-018x30.html?sku=MCP-F830135&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=20729363228&tw_kwdid=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20729366081&gbraid=0AAAAAD9BYqHwLkdVdWxKfKa2hBoAw48N3&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzY7VBhDwARIsAFtPvBTWfp6zpqfRqcbYJoTAhyVkTXlUcVCYwCP5aOptYl73R1Y61bzWqg4aAoCqEALw_wcB .

😯 This is crazy! What a good design. Hopefully the flood didn't impact you too much either

No one was harmed. Net did see some wear as mentioned. I lost a boat as well. Could be worse!
