    That machine looks really cool though might be overkill - not being able to rest in the middle of a cut is tough too. I've always been able to get by with a soldering iron and a ruler.

    sounds like a good trip to me... though i cant quite confirm whether I can make it yet.

    However, I'm a beginner when it comes to hiking, hope you guys don't mind having a slowpoke along!

    I'd be interested... I'll keep an eye out here for any planning. It'd be great to meet some fellow hangers, I've yet to see any out in the field.

    the ziplocks would definitely hold the sleeping bag corners more tightly though.

    i tried something like hanging the hammock as well... basically i made a double layer hammock and pulled the inner layer a little tighter than the outer one, so there was a bit of space (which allows...

    What i tried was to use shock cord to tie up each of the corners of the sleeping bag. the shock cord then goes to 4 places, 2 loops go up to the ridgeline for hanging, and 2 to the ends of the...

    Thanks for pointing me to Blake's hitch, Xauto. Looks like it should be good for creating a loop just like the adjustable grip hitch. If they use it for climbing trees, i agree - it should be enough...

    Bad Idea? adjustable hitches on mainline?

    Just wanted your input on whether it is a bad idea to use an adjustable hitch to create loops at the end of the main line. These are loops that would go around a toggle that also connects to the tree...

    one thing though my prusik is directly on the hammock, using the ridgeline
