My DIY Gear

I miss Montana... best kept secret in the US is camping there. I love to tell people about the 40 below with 60 mph winds. If it scares the crap out of them and keeps them away... good. If their eyes light up and you can tell they're thinking about camping.. better

That UQ looks like it'll do the job nicely.

Hi Everyone thanks for the comments!

I didn't think anyone would be this interested in my rig but I will have to hang it and take more pictures to explain the setup. Ill do it after work tomorrow the 22nd if anyone is interested.

Thanks Again!

Looks nice, what are the knots on RL for?

[Steveinthetrees]

If anyone is interested i made a quick video about my setup I'm sorry for how quiet it is you should turn up your volume.

Thanks again

PS... just uploaded to you tube so if it doesn't work right away try later.

Enjoyed the video! Beware the paracord suspension - it is nylon and st r e t c h e s ! When you get the chance, consider non-stretching line.

I like the idea of the knoted ridge line. Its like using a really long personal anchor system that you use for climbing, (setting up anchor points and what-not). Seems like you would use a lot more line than is really need though.

That looks nice and wide...

My only real "advice" would be (if you get much sag with the paracord) to ditch the paracord and carabiners for some 7/64" Amsteel Blue or more colors of Amsteel Blue or one of the myriad other places to find it.

Get 50 feet of it... make some soft shackles and use the rest for your ridge-line and suspension.

Since your UQ is not in need of much structural support, that should be fine with the paracord, but if you want to lose a couple more ounces or 'stiffen' it up, try some Tech Line.

Thank you everyone for the comments and advise.
Ill work towards a different ridgeline asap.

Thanks again
