Knots

[samjaynes]

Just the standard ones not the ones with the clips.

As knotty mentioned, they are not meant for that much weight. I use the fig nine only for my ridgeline.

But back to the main question - depending on your suspension - webbing, webbing and whoopie, webbing and ring buckles, etc

Check out YouTube: Ray Mears / Tarp Hammock Knots.

is there a name to the knot w/ the tapes/webbing (2nd, after the prusik)? seems just like the ticket in case the stiching fails on the huggers..

Marlin spike tree-to-hammock and tautline hitch for the tarp.
