Anyone know where the design for the STL came from?

I don't know who the guilty party might be, but I'm with Dos, shane's method has worked for me a good while now, easy and fool proof.
If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

I have used this method https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ead.php?t=3731
Good luck

I use Shane's method, and I'm glad to see the link to HC4U's post. Youngblood developed so many great ideas and presented them so clearly. I wish his work was better known today.

I also use Youngblood's method on my silnylon tarp.

Self tensioning lines were invented just after rubber bands as rope preceded rubber. ;-) Who adapted them to Silnylon is more recent as the material is relatively new. ;-)
YMMV

Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)
The technique has been around a long time. Longer than the forum. Somebody just mentioned the trick years back.
Ambulo tua ambulo.
The reason I ask is that we have a local High School that has a really keen science teacher who runs an outdoor ed club. Every year they go to the Outdoor Trade Shows and market their own salmon flasher (tri-flasher). They put up a booth and the kids make some great connections and learn a ton.
I shared with him my DIY (which is very close to what JRB sells) STL> I've tweaked the design a bit using shrink tube to clean up the knots and with an added mini Lineloc.
I emailed JRB just to check, but I figured if our kids made a few handfuls of these and sold them for say $30 for 4, they would have another product to build, market, and so on.
I highly doubt this would undercut anyone, in fact I figure we'd add a card identifying JRB as an alternate source for tarps and so on.
My big, hairy, audacious goal would be an entire hammock set up where students could build hammocks, whoopies, and maybe even an UQ, accessorize with some Dutch gear and a good silnylon tarp and I bet they could sell a good number of items. Bonus would be that any leftover product would support the outdoor ed program as gear!
Anyway, big idea, small amount of time and funds.
let you know how it goes.
