Recently I put Garda Rings on a new DIY ENO with fantastic success.
Now I'll do one of my Hennessys, probably the Explorer, which will be the crash-test-dummy cuz most of the time it is the loaner and short-distance-hike-fair-weather-weight-is-no-problem hang. The HHBPA and DIY Mutts get to all the good places.
Jeff provided a way to clove hitch Garda Rings to the intact line which goes thru a binner(or hugger loops) and back to the rings.... nice and it works BUT I think ringing close to the hammock has sufficient advantages to cut the cords.
I tarp separately from the hammock suspension line, but wonder if there may be a problem if a SuperShelter is in my future -- preliminary check indicates about 18' end line will provide line space for knots and the girth hitch ... but will cut a little more of course.
