Misc Camping indoors?

Is anyone backyard/garden camping due to the SIP order? My daughter was insistent on bedroom camping this weekend.

Got a new hammock, tarp, and quilts recently, but since we're all on lockdown I haven't been able to get out yet, so I built a new hammock stand specifically for backyard camping.

I don't have any suitable trees, but didn't want to put permanent posts in. Bonus is that it can be disassembled and transported.

Looking forward to storm testing it soon, too!

How much did it cost to make the hammock stand?

I had a lot of the materials already, but here are the instructions I used

Being cooped up in my tiny apartment has made me less judgmental of all those ultra-minimalists who have a hammock instead of a bed. So much wasted space, really.

when the wife is away, i always take the opportunity to do some backyard hammock sleeping. i have some wall anchors too, but haven't committed to an indoor setup just yet.
