    I made a DIY 13' tarp and put 3 tie-outs on each side. It seemed to make more sense that way.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    How cool! I love video.

    Hey, neo, how long are your webbing straps?

    I really like that carabiner method. Really fast.

    Hi
    Good video, I would have liked to have seen more about the netting and how that is set up.
    Thanks

    Many of my ?'s were answered in that clip. It is nice to see so many things that I have read about covered in one short clip. You guys did a great job and it is appreciated. That one could easily find a home in the tutorial section for new hangers.
    Great contribution.
    I may have to take the plunge and get a Claytor.

    Great job Neo and Cavediver. That will really help the Newbies!

    Neo, is that a bowline you have tied in the carabiner end of your webbing? I use a bowline in the end of my stock Claytor webbing, it has worked great so far.

    Does anybody know how much strength advantage there is in a sewn loop vs a bowline? Those bowlines don't seem to slip, thus no friction. I know there is at least a theoretical strength advantage to sewing the loop, I'm just wondering how much. Because it is awful convenient sometimes to just tie a bow line in.
