    Prussic knot tied to a poly suspension strap?

    What knot is hammock strap? Is it a slip knot or a half hitch or other?
    If it’s a slip knot, (unsure of configuration) the slip knot can suspend you without slipping. Slip knot in strap completely below and separate from prusik will hold with a larks head instead of prusik.
    Not sure of your exact configuration, if prusik is doing most of work, you might want more wraps on prusik.

    The proof is in the pudding. HYOH
    If this works for you, you got it going on...

    Oops, I was looking at Mike’s post along with Gadget’s post and looking right past Nate’s original post——Phantom—all tied up in knots

    I love the all in one setup & ive installed them in all my setups. As for using with webbing , go to dutchware Gear , look up “spiders “ I want to say it’s $15 for a pair. Slide the spiders on the webbing , larks head some cordage on the end of your tarp & connect to the spiders .
    Then just slide the spiders up & down the webbing & the tarp will become taught & hold. A great soulution that I have in all webbing all in one setups .

    Hope this helps

    Or, will it lock up under actual use?

    Thoughts? Anyone advise against this?

    [EDIT: I updated the Post title with the accurate scenario, they are not Dyneema straps]
