    That makes sense to me...seems like you would want the weight of the clip to help hold it in position. I know, it doesn't weigh much, but it's still heavier than webbing.

    My current goal is to be there around 3ish. We aren't staying the night though. But I will want to hang my newly suspended rig, so don't go too far up the trail for your spot. I have to work that morning, but should be home around 1:30 and leaving very shortly afterward, about a 40 minute drive.

    Yeah, we'll probably be there around 2 or 3. See ya there!

    Any of the NC area hammockers want to ride down to Mountain Crossings (Neel Gap) with us for Winton Porter's book release party on Saturday? Staying overnight and hanging hammocks on the grounds at MTX.

    I hang open end up because .... well, it's shaped like a horseshoe and I'm superstitious. Yeah, I know, silly, but I can't do anything about it.

    That is the best rationale for anything ever in the history of the world.
