Rigging a hammock with constrictor ropes (UCR's)...

[moski]

Welcome to the dark side, moski!

I had the feeling it was a bit shady over here

I'm about 190# and allocate about 18" to the bury section, which ends up about 15" long after the static section is buried inside it.

I'm lighter than you ,but i think i still go with your lengths.

I do it all the time, but be sure to stitch in some whipping line to secure the bury. Otherwise it can come loose when there's no tension on it.

Great, let's splice some!
Any ideas what to use for the stitching?

I started out making toggles from 1/4" aluminum rod from Home Depot, but now just cannibalize some cheap (4 for $2) aluminum tent stakes. I can make 4 1-1/4" toggles from one stake.

****, that was so simple and yet so brilliant.


Thanx, for all the info and all the insperation
