Gotta say these little hooks are fun to play with. I've modified a ridge line using one of these and a Tarp Flyz ... and I've got two of these with loops that I can clip onto my ridge line for hanging stuff ...

Served me rather way in the gorge last week and I didn't loose a single one!

Probably a half dozen more utilitarian uses for these to stumble upon. Way to go Dutch!

You guys are doing some real good splice work. The 1.75 zing it is tough to bury.

I set up a CLR for a freind last night with dynaglide. I bent the flyz and the hook open just a bit and it work real well. The dynaglide is nice because it is easier to find thinner line for the prussics and it is easier to splice. I had 1 hook on the end to go around that tree. 2 hooks on prussics to hold the tarp with a small zing it loop on each d-ring. That make it so I can disconnect the tarp if needed. The fly was also on a pussic so it is more adjustable. I think that is my favorite set up so far.

Nicely done tritan. I like the hook being used in place of an S-biner. Great vid.

You did that way better than I could have. Double sheet bend looks real good. That grey is 1.75 lash it I believe. You were right about shortening all your loops so you don't limit your set up. That vid is great, just perfect. Thanks for doing that.

very cool setup & great video tritan!

nice simple demo of how to setup a CRL

I lost a jacket in Grand rapids about 15 yrs ago - LMK if you find it

ok just PM'ed you. I will adjust the video to say Lash it for the grey stuff. Thanks for all your help again. Next Dutch project will be sowing on the velcro to my tarp for holding my guide lines.

going to get some wood this weekend for a homemade hammock stand. You have some hardware for that Dutch?

I got tired of not being able to play so I ordered some so I can play with the big boys too.

Tritan -- love the video. Perfect! Thanks for posting that. Gives me some good ideas.
I did a couple videos of my setup and doing a smaller locked Brummel loop, hoping they might help.

Just got my Tarp Flyz and Hooks in. I knew they would be small but when I opened the package and saw them, I thought Holly S***! these things are really small and I am going to need a magnifying glass to see them.

Can't wait to go play with them. I might jst have to go on a hang in the woods tomorrow night.
