    I commented on your video as well, but I love this! I love the extra twist on the larks head and I love how you bury the continuous loop in the center of the fold and then whip over it. I'm going to do this next time, although I prefer dogbones over continuus loops. Thank you so much for the video!! =:)

    Your fav gathered end method.

    I like whipped ends over channel because it works better for not using any biners to attach my under quilts. Just loop the shock cord over the ends and it holds solid.

    I like this channel method...


    I don't know if this is weaker than any of the other methods but it's worked for me on my old ENO, and several of my DIY TC SL. Just finishing up on a DL using this method, tho I havent had a chance to test it out yet.

    With the Knotty Mod whipped/channel ends, it makes a ball at the end. Perfect for attaching the end cord of my UQ I just finished, even without loopin around the ball in a circle. Just my thoughts, of course. YMMV.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    I use XTrekker's method and it is my favorite.

    Hey guys. I am uploading my vids to youtube, the only problem is, I didn't know that we were recording them in HD and so uploading them is literally taking about 5 hours to upload. So they should all be uploaded within the next few days. Sorry there are a few mistakes, but they are my first vids ever. So I know they aren't perfect, but hope they can help. Thanks guys.

    Ghillieshot.

    PS: My channel on youtube is Ghillieshot. I will upload them on here once I am finished. Thanks guys.

    Lots of good info here. I was sure that I had found the perfect system for me, but I haven't tried even half of these! I'm going to have to make one of each now!
