HOWTO make an instant hammock
The KnowHow show demonstrates a simple recipe for making an "instant hammock" out of a blanket and some rope. Looks like it'd be simple enough -- and handy if you find yourself in need of some relaxation in a hurry. Link
Update: Mike sez, "For those of us unlucky enough to only have a single rope in our house Mother Earth News published an article on how to fold a hammock back in 1984. It only requires 24 feet of rope, wide blanket, and a tiny bit of faith you won't fall on your head."
