If you are using a biner or soft schakle to go connect the webbing back to itself around the tree just attach tarp ridge line directly to either the biner or schakle tension and go

Plastic crotchet needle cut in half

Could not agree more. Provide just enough light as to not totally distort my night vision but enough to be able to read with

I will take a 6

Depends on what version of the HH you have. The newer models are are Being shipped with a webbing loop and the rope is attached to that. With the ridge line cord being attached to the same loop on...

I'm in. What a great idea thanks for doing it

Hello from the Catskills.

Any chance of a video on how you made these. I am very interested in building one

Although I am not using whoopieslings I also have the new flat stitched webbing loop on the end of my Hennessy and I double pass my amsteel through the webbing loop and fixed eye loop to make the...

I go line from tarp around stake back to line using a farrimond hitch. Works great and easy to untie as you never are having to deal with the end of the bitter end of the line. You tube search it

As a climber I knew and mastered most if not all life support knots and hitches but my interest in hammock camping has taught me many more non-life support knots and hitches like the Marlin Spike...

If you look in my vid I also love and use my camp nano. But not having the rounded spine make it hard after loading to slide the biner on the amsteel. I also don't like how It deforms the amsteel. ...

Yup plenty broad enough. I was using them for a long time. Every once in bit I would have trouble undoing the slipped buntline hitch so I went to Mammut element locking biner....

My pleasure. Glad you like it. Again this is just my take on an idea from professor hammock. This is his video of the same idea with rings plus a few other. http://youtu.be/IGRAnzEoXZI

That being...

I might see you there. I have to be in windham on Sunday for a race

Nice I also had my first night out in my new hennessy last night

I am interested

http://youtu.be/r86gyPjW04k. I just posted a vid if it helps. Not the greatest as I did it from my iphone. But it gets the point across

This is my current set up. 7/64th amsteel around MSH using climbing rated biner as a "sliding" suspension. I just tie a MSH into the the other end of the amsteel to make the easiest knot to undo...

I am a huge fan of the Sliding Ring Suspension. Can be used with any kind of cordage or rope. 51945. Here is a link to a video about it

http://youtu.be/IGRAnzEoXZI

I have been using this. http://m2.ems.com/products/11556126

But have been thinking of using this also.
...

I feel like I have gone through every suspension system. And seem to always go back to my camp nano23 and for short distance I can just clip it via MSH to the webbing directly. Or for my normal to...

Blake's hitch and the Ferimond hitch are two of my fav

Me too. I am local. West Point. Keep me in the loop

Tree straps marlinspike hitch. Spyderline using a buntline hitch knot.

I copied this from another thread. I was using this for awhile. But I like your version better

Wow really nice job. I really like your Mod to the SRS

Have have used both amsteel and the spyderline. I prefer the 3.8 spyderline.

I using spyderline

One thing I have always done on my ENO DL is too keep a 3wrap spyderline loop holding the end channel closed. This allows me with small light hardware to change between my new preferred method SRS...

I have had no issue with my set up. 3.8 spyderline on screw link.

No with all that being said. I have been using the single ring suspension. And find for me it has the best adj.

If you wanted to use webbing my suggestion would be to use a Bachman hitch. Almost the same as a Prussic but it is wrapped around a biner to help make it slide. With cord you could also use a...

Easiest thing to do is plan ahead. Take the stock eno rope work it around untie the knot and before pulling it out of the channel tie the new cordage on and pull through

So I have it a try today. 3 hours in the hammock no slip. I am using spyderline and it has a grippy sheath I went with 5 wraps

This is my current setup. Only difference is I am using spyderline now

Welcome. Fellow Hudson valley native. West Point local

I was using 12' of webbing when I used rings. But I also have big Oak trees my way

Just remember the slicker the cordage the more wraps you need

YW. Just remember as with any "slipped" knot or hitch. Make sure you check that you have enough slack on the hitched side or drop the tail in to help keep it from working lose

The ferrimond hitch is really easy. The other plus is that you do not have to keep slacking the "tail" of the line around around. Works well if you are carrying long cordage but need to but the hitch...

Or just do a 5 wrap under 3 Blake's hitch

I am at 91". This has been the most comfortable for me. 5'10" 230lbs

So here is my final set up. Only difference is I will change the cord to amsteel when it shows up386023860338604

I use a singleline suspension with adj SMC slider rings for adj on each end. The pics show the cord I had for testing I am now using amsteel 38580385813858238583

Ok so this is the final design setup the only change will be using Spyderline for the rope. Singleline suspension with SMC sliders for...

Blake's hitch 5 wrap under 3

I have been going through the motions with different suspension and came across the singleline suspension idea. I have a ENO DN currently with rings and webbing suspension.

So the question. How...

So I have been using adj webbing suspension with SMC rings. Then I went to all cordage with no hardware using just knots and adj friction hitches

So here is my question. I plan on switching it up...

Your welcome :). I have been a fan of the farrimond hitch for years for its ability to always be undone on command. My close second is a 5/3. (5 wraps / under 3) Blake's hitch. A bit harder to undo...
