    JRB tir-glide issues

    I just acquired a bmbh hammock. I'm finding The strap had tightened up in the tri-glide to a point that I had to go get a screw driver to pry it out. I double check and think i have them installed correctly, with the webbing coming around the tree and down through the tii-glide. How do you avoid this? Thanks!

    Nothing is simpler than a strap and JRB Tri-Glide... If you can buckle your belt you can hang a hammock with this approach... Here is link to the JRB Strap and Tri-Glide Set...video is at the tab... http://www.jacksrbetter.com/shop/ham...tri-glide-set/

    You might want to check that video and make sure you are using them in that way. I have used them for years on 2 different bridge hammocks and never had any trouble undoing them. I think I might have managed to get the strap in crooked or catywampus some how, but nothing I could not get undone with my hands in a couple of minutes. But normally, no trouble at all.

    Seems the straps were installed incorrectly when I got it. The video helped corrected this- many thanks!
