My MSLS is still evolving.

I change the ridge line length very, very seldom and so have decided that I will reserve the adjustable ridge line with the adjustable eyes on each end for special...

Modular Suspension Line System.

Okay - I put together my new 3LS, now called a Modular Suspension Line System or MSLS.

In making the system today, I realized that I couldn't use a simple...

The thought of making the ridge line portion adjustable has been nagging at me all day. I like your idea of using a Whoopie Sling to do that. I think that I may have thought of a means of making the...

Looked around and couldn't...
