    Insultex

    Would insultex be an easy solution. If velcro can adhere directly to the ix then you wouldnt have to do any sewing and hold it in place with the pocket velcro

    weight of pluq

    I thought that the pluq weighed about 16 oz. I think for a synthetic uq you are not going to get much lighter in weight or bulk.

    Has anyone tried the IX in between. if you left the ends open on a...

    weight vs volume

    I am guessing that the volume for your setup is reasonably close to the same if you used the z liner.

    I have also come to the same conclusion that i cannot manage a smaller volume pack with the...

    Clark Hammock Ridgeline

    These ideas appear to be the best solutions so far for the Clark. Unfortunately we have all come up with the descending ring ~16" from the end of the hammock which forces us to use trees almost 3'...

    packed volume

    I have the same question. It seems like whether it is an UQ or z-liner it is basically the same amount of material , climashield and ripstop, and it packs down to the same volume. The UQ allows for...

    Clark Hammock Ridgeline

    The clark is different from the other hammocks because the ridgeline has to hang higher to support the weather shield. This means the descending ring has to be about 20" away from the end of the...

    Sticky: ucr vs whoopie sling

    It seems like a ucr makes more sense because it uses less rope. I understand that it is more prone to slippage. Is that because all of the force is on a single line while only half the force goes to...

    prussik loop

    I wasn't sure if you can create the zing it prussik loop with a double fishermans knot or does it have to be spliced. I am imagining it is tough to splice that thin a line.



    Thanks,

    Why Marlin Hitch vs Girth Hitch

    I have a loop on the end of my tree strap.

    What is the argument against using a girth hitch to attach a spike to the loop instead of a marlin hitch on the running length of the strap.
