    Have spent hours searching for this DIY hammock video, please help!

    Sometime in the last 10 days I came across a youtube DIY hammock video that I wanted to get back to and thought I had saved. I do not know who did it or anything else about it, except... What I do remember is he used a zip tie, I believe some whipping, but then larksheaded an amsteel continuous loop around under the whipping and fed it back up through the whole gathered end, coming out the middle of the zip tie, all before tightening the zip tie. I may be imagining that there was other whipping. I specifically remember he didn't tighten the zip tie until the loop had been attached then fed back up through the channel and out the center of the zip-tied portion. Anyone remember that? I am going to learn to be much more careful!

    Sadly, I have. And did again. Have not seen it. Seriously. Running out of time. Grands on the way. TIA for the one who can point me to it. I will happily eat crow if indicated.

    Try Xtrekker, I think he has a pretty awesome DIY video on youtube for a DL gathered end. He has a bunch of excellent videos.

    THANK YOU BOTH! This is it! Wahoo, I knew it was someone I was familiar with but kept searching on hammock instead of suspension. Thanks so much!

    Ha, yeah that is a great way to gather the ends, I use a very similar method. You should still be able to find your previously watched yt vids in your yt history though? I know I've done that before.
