FNG No Sew 15 Min Suspension

I think I have been here all of 2 day and seem to have the bug bad. I felt the need to work on a new suspension for my ENO Doublenest that I use to sleep in my front yard ( I live at the corner of tree and bush, so nobody cares, except for my wife). I have been customizing/making tactical gear for over decade so I had what I needed laying around the Man Cave.

Here is what I used-
(2) US GI Issued snap links to replace the factory links
30 feet of Bluewater 1 inch tubular webbing http://www.gearexpress.biz/Merchant2...uct_Code=BWCSW
(2) ITW Tri Glides

I cut two 8 foot pieces of webbing. I doubled back 10" on each end and tied an over hand knot. I put one on a tree branch and put the snap link on another to use it as a handle to hang on to "set" the knots.

Then I replaced the factory links on the ENO with the USGI links. Next I looped my new straps around a tree and my front porch before attaching the snap links. Then I took the rest of the webbing and rang it through both sets of strap ends about the biner and ran it through a Tri-Glide to set my ridge line. The last thing I did was adjust it to suit me. Done

I am going to test it tonight. Right now the only thing I plan on changing or adding is some bicycle inner tube over the strap to add grab and abrasion protection. Interested to hear what the experts here think.- George

Nice work. I can never get tri-glides to work right.

Did the ENOs always come with a hobby horse, is that new this season?

No, the hobby horse is extra.

From the Army and SWAT stuff I have a PHD in Tri-Glides on gear. I appreciate the compliment. Much better than the "that almost doesn't suck" comment I was expecting from someone who actually knows what they are doing.- George
