    VIDEO REVIEW: Elephant Trunks

    Got my hands on Bloomgorge's elephant trunks and did a little review on them.

    I loooooove mine! I got them in the PIF thread from bloomgorge himself! I like how the 7/64" amsteel kinda snaps into the hook. There is no way for them to come off the hook if the hammock bounces when you get up or something. I feel like I have the ultimate setup now, I can adjust my suspension like a ring/buckle suspension or using the whoopie sling. I can pretty much adapt to any situation from 11-22 feet or so, not including extensions. Thanks bloomgorge!
