    Strap Carabiner and 2 rings

    Friends

    I notice in a video that the camper uses a strap, a carabiner and two rings to adjust the tension of his hammock. How are the two rings used? (Knot path)

    Thanks,

    Migs

    Brilliant guys! I have the idea and just made the rings by welding some steel.

    Again, you guys are great!

    If you like the way it works look into some aluminum rappel rings. They are rolled or forged one piece so no welds and lighter/stronger than most steel harness rings.
    YMMV

    Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)

    I agree. Also try to get the fatter aluminum rings. I think they work better and arn't as hard on your lines.
