Oh, I have a question, how long do you make the constrictor part? Thanks in advance.
Yes, the short piece I like to cut at about 15"-20" or so to have room to tie the prusik; and the long piece is how ever long you'd like/need depending on your area, that's what goes from hammock to straps.
Amsteel works as well, you'll just need a longer bury.
For the 2mm dynaglide, 5" is good, and for 7/64" amsteel, 6.5"-7" will hold.
Thank you for the info! Will be looking to make a couple of these this weekend to try.

Cheers fallkniven, now I need to get me some dynaglide
Here's the best pricing on it I've found...

Fantastic & Outstanding Tutorial. This is exactly what I needed and was looking to find. I can't begin to thank you for taking the time and effort. And, for doing it within a day of my post.
I'll be making one today I hope, and I'll know I'll be back with a few questions as well.
Thanks again.
Very nice. I've never tried it that way, (with the prusik). I put a loop on all four ends and use a safety pin to lock it in place. With the loop on all four ends I never put it on backward. The loop also gives me a place to hang my shoes or what ever.
