    Not trying to be argumentative, but I don't see how it would, the force would be spread over the length of the stick and it would also take any of the friction damage associated with adjusting the...

    Well, you guys were right, it is massive, and super comfy, but I think it is too big for the woods.

    My tarp just barely fits over it, I would probably get wet if it rained.

    It just showed up finally.

    I tossed it in the washing machine before whipping it to wash the China off it.

    The thing is huger than I envisioned, but that's ok, lots to work with. I think with...

    I see.

    I guess time in the woods will tell then, the bury is only about 5 inches so I don't anticipate much of a problem with it, worst cast just pop the toggle and unload the line.

    My knotless tarp suspension.

    Inspired by the ease of using whoopie slings and the ease of making them I wanted to incorporate that system into my tarp.

    I was able to make a really simple set up with a sliding splice as the...

    I have a 12' tarp so I wasn't terribly worried, after the whipping and the sag it should fit under here.

    Weight was more my concern. My eno and suspension are 1.75 lbs right now. I just made a set...
  14. Has anyone made a hammock from the 90x156 tablecloth?

    I have outgrown my Eno, not literally, but I am ready for something more comfortable.

    I had the chance to lay in an 11' hammock and it was leaps and bounds better as far as getting a flat lay.

    It was over 80 the other day and it is snowing out right now, so the temps can jump around a lot.
