Hey it's Shug here and uh welcome to Tensa World. this is the world of tensahedron stands
the tens of four stand theTensa Solo and the Tensa Trekking Trees and a couple people asked
me if I could unify the tens of information and kind of show what the differences are
so very quickly and expediently I'm just going to show you what the different ones are and
how they all kind of differ [Music] my daughter's dog Bean. He does love a hammock so we've
got the tens of solo over here that tens the trekking trees and this is part of the Tensa4
tensahedron stand what I have here is the tenza solo conversion kit now I already had
the pole and the reason for that is because
this is my tens of four stand tensahedron stand so you just use one of the existing
poles
and the conversion part is you get just this top piece with the part to run your tarp lines
through the connector with the ball to hook your hammock to and that just inserts into
your existing tens of four stand pole you just take the the knob off the top and insert
your conversion kit so this is my tensor four stand pole and if I place it next to here
you can see there's a little bit of an extension here for the tenza solo so if you have a tensor
four stand you could just use one pole and just order the conversion kit how you hook
your hammock on a piece of uh have an amp still Loop there that goes to the loop on
my hammock and on in you go now you have a choice of either getting ucrs for this one
I went with straps because I don't plan on carrying this backpack and but this is what
you can use for a one tree hang
but of course you can use two of the tens of solos or two of the tens of trekking trees
and hang yourself in a desert or treeless place or Meadow you just got to make sure
that you got all the stakes and things to do it so you'll need Stakes for both sides
and lines put my tins are so low I'm using the straps with a cinch buckle and here we've
got like a strap it's uh actually one of these right here it's a daisy chain strap and that
will go on up and that hooks to the top so I just got those thought they'd be cool like
to try them and I am using the boom stake system now the difference in the trekking
trees is that this Pole right here converts to a hiking pole and you can use it as a hiking
pole and have that with you on the trail and stake out this one sure you could carry it
in a pack if you want if you're not going too far it's not that heavy I I don't know
the waiter but I I'll try to weigh it in a little bit so we get the One tenza Solo Pole
right here
I'm gonna put that on the scales and that is one pound 10.8 ounces 760 grams 26.81 ounces
and of course these straps are going to be a little bit heavier than the amsteel ucrs
so one set of the straps on there is 5.82 ounces 165.0
grams for staking out you have your choice depending on your soil I recommend going on
their website reading their information on soil and the best steaks for certain soils
like they say the sandy soil you want maybe to use these Peggy steaks and they're really
light they have a top that has a the top looks like this so when you start screwing those
in the ground you want to have this little tool and this feels like titanium like weighs
nothing about as much as a June bug and you use that and just kind of torque that into
the ground your next choice is the Big Orange screw they work really good in a lot of soil
conditions and your third choice and the one that I like especially when I get Duffy kind
of ground out backpacking is the boom steak you have a long steak this piece of aluminum
right here that works great for me the aluminum weighs like nothing boomstay because I'm a
boomer Peggy pegs or Big Orange screws or snow Stakes or you know maybe you've got some
other options on the staking feel free but with these systems everything is in the staking
you've got to make sure you're staked out right or you know you're going to be on the
ground right here I'm using the Big Orange steak instead of the tens of Boom steak um
to hang this one it doesn't seem to bear as much weight
on the tens of four stand and there that is in my hand and arm if I laid in my hand comes
about that far up my arm
they really hold well now I just recently did a video on the trekking trees right here
and go over everything about them so I'm going to link that below if you're interested in
seeing it and you didn't see it and I'm using the trekking tree right now that's normally
the bottom of the pole when I'm hiking along that's the part that hits the ground but right
now it is in tarp mode and it supports my tarp but your tarp still must be staked out
or this could break off and the hiking pole is set up with the foot that you add to use
to support your hammock and of course I'm using that on just a one tree hang so I have
both of both of these coming off the same tree part of this is you you know it takes
a little while to kind of figure out how you're going to hang how high or how low you like
to hang I like to be where my feet hit the ground so that works for me and you know it
may end up different in some other hang somewhere but I'm just laying back into this one right
now and this is the one this is the solo and my boom Stakes are back there holding I've
already tested it you know when you sit in it the first time you want to kind of sit
in it sideways and look and make sure that your staking is correct and it's not pulling
up and I'll do the same thing over here for the trekking trees now the trekking trees
are great because you know if you're using it as a trekking pole it's it's kind of like
a dual purpose piece of gear use it as a trekking pole which I do use trekking poles and then
when you get to Camp uh let's say you get there and there's a bunch of people at Camp
already you're just the perfect hang somebody's got a tent between it you can find one tree
boom there you go you could use your pole that way just opens up some hanging options
for us desperate hangers now on my trekking trees I'm using ucr's which is amsteel I know
in the last video I kept calling them whoopee slings but they're actually ucrs they're like
a cousin to the whoopee sling they have a line going up through a constrictor right
here then the line comes out and this constrictor right here like on a Whoopi sling is what
is holding this tight now if you don't mind I will just come over here duck down I got
my dutchware chameleon hooked up here
I'm going to set in and the reason I have those logs down there is because I keep I
turn tripping over my boom steaks and you know you sit there and kind of look at your
stakes and go bad they're solid I'm gonna lay on back in this hammock and uh
feels just like uh hanging off two trees feels good I think it feels really good laying here
maybe I just need to lay here a while go on tens outdoors and check all the information
I will link their stuff below peruse you can see people that use their uh their car or
their Jeep or their truck to put one end of the hammock on and then use a pole on the
other end some people will use just half of their tens of four stand they'll use like
just that part to use and hang a hammer cuff off there's so many options with these I've
not done them all I can't even tell you about all of them all I can say all I can hope is
that seeing all the tens of products in one video all together right here helps you kind
of clarify what I'm talking about in these different videos and I mention them sometimes
and I know I did the tensa solo video but it's buried in a video with my nose cancer
you know my I'm gonna decide when I hit basal cell and then it was a bunch of mandolin stuff
so that's kind of buried just like the tents of trees was buried in a video with me and
wandering full camping but I pulled that out and did one and I do have the tensa four stand
but it's pretty old and that's back in there so these are kind of three of the tens of
products um they're really handy they open up a lot of options for your hanging and uh
I've only got one thing to say now and that's
