At each end of the hammock there are specific loops that need to be made in which the hammock suspension runs through. If you get a chance to look at a Blackbird you will see what I am talking about. They are an important part of the hammock in that they are support points for the footbox and shelf area. If you string up a Blackbird and put weight in the footbox and in the shelf you can see the stress points...
