New SRL attachment method

[motorapido]

Use a nacrabiner. Ultralight. Won't cause injury if a RL break launches it.

I like the speed of detaching and reattaching the RL in this set up. I wonder though about it staying connected when packing and unpacking the hammock. I know it only takes a second to reconnect but I like having the RL stay in place most the time and detach it only when needed.



Be sure to record that.

Perhaps a small band to hold it on? Rubber bands for braces come to mind.

Right on. When hung properly, it shouldn't be that tight. I just worry about those folks that hang it too tight. I get requests all the time from Hennessy owners that hung theirs too tight and it broke and they need a replacement.

I was one of those tight hangers in my WB traveler that came with a ridgeline. I could carry a good tune with it

I do like the functionality of it, but don't use it for structure at all. Tie the ends of my whoopies together to make a ridgeline when I do need one. Nothing extra, just a couple hitches.

I dont know how long I'll keep using this setup. It does come unattached just about every time I pack it. But it's never a problem. I always tinker with such things. I'll have some new idea pretty soon.
I mainly use it to support my bugnet.

You could just throw a sliding barrel knot on the whoopie and that would keep it closed up around the hook until you wanted to move it. Chickenwing has a video on it seen here.

Cool that's a good idea. I'm thinkin in the near future I'm probably going to take all this off and just use some shockcord as a mock-ridgeline to hold up my bugnet when I use it. I'm to tinkery to have a ridgeline. I always fool with it, when I should be cooking.
