Got a JH today minus the tarp. I have a question for all you Claytor freaks out there.
I added cinch buckles to it today and it looks alot like the picture below.
My question is, I did not use a bowline to tie the joined loose ends of the Spyderline at the end of the hammock. I used the method that my Trklight double used . Just took each free end of the Spyderline around the main line and then formed a basic knot. Holds great but it is cinched down as tight as it will go. This made the hammock have a ridge in the middle that I wasn't expecting. It did not feel that great when I layed in it.
Is there a big difference in how it lays if you give it more slack at the channel such as tieing a bowline as the below picture has done? I would have tried it but will wait till tomorrow.
Thanks
FF
