Anybody using soft shackles for things? I've recently started splicing and want to make a couple. What im thinking is for my superfly I will use a soft shackle for the doors to keep them together. Then make another line with a fixed loop and just bury the other end, and have that fixed line go to a stake so I can easily open and close the doors without messing with knots in the middle of the night. Granted its fun to see what knot I retied in the morning, but something more user friendly when I'm not all there might be easier.
Anybody doing anything similar or have other good uses with hammocks?
Also, I found this calculator on making soft shackles with a good how to video.
