So I recently had a double layer 1.1 hammock made and kinda wish I had gotten the knotty mod done... I don't have the money or time right now to send it off so I'm thinking of forming a footbox some other way such as running a length of shockcord from my ridgeline down to the fabric. I think it'll do the trick for just keeping my feet/sleeping bag from sliding out but looking for ideas on how to connect it to the fabric that don't involve sewing. Thoughts?

Maybe one of those tarp clip clips they sell to add tie downs ?Originally Posted by 4x4Dragon
+1 Couple of bucks and no harm done if it doesn't work.
Mind over matter,
if you don't mind, it don't matter
Thnx, I do have a couple of those tarp attachments, planned on trying if another idea didn't come about. The ones that I have are kinda big but oh well.

If' your going to buy some shock cord anyway just DIY the Knotty Mod. It's too Simple.
Super simple. I even tried out the mod in the field with a needle, thread, and shockcord. I just loosely sewed the thread around the shock cord at 1/2" spacing to make a temporary casing. This allowed me to change the tension. Soon as I got home a proper Knotty mod was made.
