I'm thinking of switching over from Whoopie slings to UCRs. I don't care mutch about pack weight, but I think UCRs would reduce tangles quite a bit. To that end, I think that a single line would tangle even less. My idea is to use four pieces of cord (Amsteel blue) to make one continuous line with three constrictors and attach the hammock with larksheads. This would give me adjustments at each end, and an adjustable ridge line.
I think that similar could be done with three pieces of cord and two burys giving you a semi adjustable ridgeline (adjusted by moving the larkshead knots), but I don't know exactly where I like my sag yet, so more adjustable is more better for me at this point.
So my question is; Is this setup feasable? Do larksheads loosen or walk if they are pulled in opposit directions? Is there a better knot than the larkshead for this? Is there something I'm missing (like a thread where this has already been discussed)?
