Has anyone ever done or thought about doing a single fixed-CRL with WSs built in at each end?
I was thinking about doing one very long piece of Amsteel with 6-foot whoopie slings built in, but instead of terminating with a loop on the end, it would be my CRL and another whoopie sling on the other end.
I could bury a piece of Amsteel in the CRL/WS, feed it through the hammock fabric, and then bury the other end back through the CRL/WS. This would permanently attach the hammock, CRL and WSs all into one unit. I haven't decided which would be best... a double-over bury or a straight-line bury. A double-over bury might not fit inside the main Amsteel line very well, so a straight-line bury might be better. (SEE ATTACHED IMAGE)
It would take a single line of Amsteel about 38 feet long, but I think it might work and have its benefits rather than three separate lines and the hammock.
(6-foot whoopies take about 12-feet each) x 2 = 24-feet + ~100" (8' 4") fixed-RL = 32' 4" (38-feet - 32' 4" = 5' 8" / 2 = 2' 9" (for two buried lines to go through the CRL/WS and the hammock (one each end) Confused? I might be.
Thoughts?
I'd like feedback from you experts out there.
