Single Line Suspension (SLS)

I received my order of 50' of Amsteel Blue 7/64" over the weekend and had a chance to set this up in my apartment... GF thinks I'm a little NUTZ but aren't we all....

Anyways, I want to have hammock quickly removable from the entire system and don't want to introduce much weight to the system.... I'm thinking of a carbonfiber arrow toggle and larks head that would allow me to removal hammock for adding DIY peapod system... Not sure how much weight the CF shaft can take in this position... Have 0 and 25 degress sleeping bags that have foot box zippers installed so all I need to do is address hood area... Tried one on the hammock this weekend and it was perfect apart from hood hanging down... With a peapod style fleece bag liner I can see some pretty cold weather hangs....

Answered my own question last night.... While the two carbonfiber toggle held my weight they were not happy

.... I could hear them creak as I loaded the hammock, picked up a 4' piece of 3/8" 6061 alum solid rod for $3 at local supply shop.... Think this will be a much better option....

Where can I find the rope used here in a 50 foot hank?

Thanks for posting the link. Was just to purchase a bit myself. Ready to try my hands at whoopee slings...

I found that if you cut the end slightly concave before gathering you can hang very flat and minimize shoulder squeeze.

It also works good with a loose hang.

This may not be a good thing but it does work well.

When I bought the spool all they had was blue. APS wasn't even selling the Amsteel Blue yet when I bought mine.

yeah grizz, that's the vectrus 12 that came with your eldo. i did kinda pull one or both strands at 90 deg. maybe even a little past that. the object seemed to be to get the hitch itself to roll or move a bit. this seemed to loosen it up enough to untie pretty easy.

another advantage i see to this setup, is you have lots of line to work with. you could always do less passes for the trucker's if you need more line for length, and it seems great for someone who wants to play with their ridge distance.
