Sorry.Who’s Alistair?I’m Antony!
None taken.
It begins with 'A' just the same... Alistair is up north isn't he! Just like I get Lymington and Littlehampton muddled, and Chichester and Christchurch.
There is a reason they called me Simon.......

I was thinking of the nursery rhyme, rather than the bible.....As in Simple or as in the fisher of men?

Righty ho, it would appear that the poles are 2mm thick. The exposed overlap where they click together is 55mm long but there are two small indentations below that which would indicate that there’s the same inside the tube too. There’s a foot on one section and a spike on the top bit. I joined all 3 bits together and “hopped “ up hanging onto the top bit and I’d say 2 poles could easily take my weight. And I’m the best part of 19 stone.
If @AndyB_11 were still here, he'd tell you that is NOT the way to use a vernier to measure the wall thickness of a tube!
Use the tips of the jaws!
Well he’s not here anymore so I’ll do it just how I fecking want!
From this, the greatest of man’s achievements was born….. or the theories of Darwin confirmed
Not only that, you've not shown enough of the Vernier scale to get an accurate measurement. (Not that verniers are considered accurate).Well he’s not here anymore so I’ll do it just how I fecking want!
We need a separate, ‘Show us your vernier’ section. Someone will though, only misread it as hernia.
Until then:

There was a guy in the UK selling a hammock solution where no trees were available but haven't found his site.
It was a similar solution as this https://www.tensaoutdoor.com/shop/?v=79cba1185463 but this is from NZ (not an issue, just a bit of postage?)

What happened to him?
He got fed up with people who couldn’t use vernier calipers correctly, and left the site a few days ago.
personally I would subtract the internal from the external, not as shown above as the thickness of the vernier jaws will give a false reading of internal measurement......
I went with the Robens, the same as yours.You can see the bit with the numbers so that’ll have to do.
Anyhow, he went with a different option so it doesn’t matter anyway.
Oh ok. You said earlier you went with the link from EVskij
Just hang on a frigging minute!
They “ the professional “ measured that coin in the big flat middle bit of the jaws and NOT the tip! Exactly where I was measuring!
Flounced.
