Well not really. The Marlin Spike HItch is just that a hitch - which attaches a rope to a solid object. Without the toggle, it wouldn't be a hitch at all - in fact it wouldn't be anything except...
I stand by what I wrote in this post.
I personally do not believe that Gnome implemented the MSH correctly and was hanging from the toggle and not the webbing as recommended.
If done correctly,...
Have you ever used the Marlin Spike Hitch in suspending your hammock??
I have used sticks picked up from the ground, approximately 1/8" is diameter, which I can easily break between my fingers to...

1/4"x2.5" would be very, very good.
Grizz - my preferred webbing huggers are 1.5" seat belt webbing - uses the same size spike as our 1" seat belt webbing. One time I even used a 1/8" rod, worked fine on the 1.5" webbing. I was...
