Hitchcraft for hammock tensioning

[Drop]

Hi, I.. I mean a totally obsessed friend of mine... was searching through hammock videos on Youtube when this video came up

basically what appears to be a simple to use pulley/tie off system

I did a bit of leg work and have the link to the hitchcraft site
http://www.hitchcraft.net/

I thought it might be of interest to hangers as a possible alternative to the Hennessey whipping or the strap/rings method. I don't use a HH so have no real reason to get these I just thought somebody might find these useful.



Two sizes available. I'm not sure what diameter rope is used on a HH but I assume its the smaller version so 250 lbf (though hammockers are looking at two points of support halving the forces?!?).
