Suspension Idea: 2 huggers 1 line 2 prussics/penburthys
Hey guys,
I was thiking about my adjustable structural ridgline. I have one similar to opies (i made my own but its the same). This idea occured to me, i dont know if its original or if its dumb. The original thought would be using sliding prussics to adjust sag instead of a ridgeline. I've never seen anyone do a suspension like this, so tell me your thoughts. I haven't seen much in the way of suspension changes lately, so maybe this will spur a better way to do things. Just thinking and bored. =P
Setup:
Clip the hugger on itself on tree 1
repeat on tree 2
adjust sling on either end of suspension line to desired height
adjust prussics to adjust sag
No reason it won't work, but
it looks to me like the ridgeline will de-tension when you load the hammock. If that is not a problem for you, give it a try.
