I don't like all this hooks, rings, all this metal stuff. I'd rather tie and untie my hammock every time. I used to hang it on the marlinspike hitch, but I just (re-)invented this and I want to share.
I'm something like 250 pounds and the knot was holding my weight like it should, and it was still easy to undo the knot afterwards. Both cord and strap are made of slippery polyester.
Two things:
All I can say it started as a seriously messed up sheet bend-like thing. I assume I'm not the first inventor. Do you know how this knot is called?
If you will try, please give me some feedback or thoughts on this knot - was it working for you?
Cheers,
Luke
