Thanks for another great video! I cracked up, and almost spit a malty beverage on my computer, when I saw the Python intro.

Grizz, I just watched the new video and I have to say thank you! Eventhough I've read over the tutorial in theWhoopie Sling suspension thread a couple times, I have to admit it continued to perplex me quite a bit. Your video puts explains it all and puts it in perspective. Many thanks to you for doing this!
SloBro, thanks for getting us started and getting my interest, it's much appreciated.

Another great video! My favorite suspension system .........till the next great idea
Grizz, Another GREAT video. I like your idea of using both systems on one hammock to compare to each other.
I'm using a UCR, and agree with others that the straps & rings are easier. I prefer UCR because it is more lightweight and I can separate the suspension from the hammock easier.

Once again, nice video Grizz. This would have answered all the questions I had a few days ago if I had found it then...
Thanks Merganser. But you know, the mistakes you make yourself are the ones you really learn from.
this at least is the rationale that has gotten me through the antics of 3 children who've passed (in one case, passing still) through the teens, with a 4th on deck. So long as they don't do serious damage to themselves or anyone else while they're learning those lessons.

I converted another hammock to UCR's tonight, using new vectrus. To my surprise, the UCR just Would Not Hold, too slippery when new perhaps. I put in the stopper slippery half-hitch at the top of the UCR, no difference.
Well dang.
I remembered the discussion above though, and got up some thin shock cord. Prussiked onto the suspension line, tied to the loops I (thankfully!) put in at the bottoms of the UCR, and presto, the UCRs hold. Now there's just not that much tension on those bits of shock cord, but it does the job. Ain't slipping now.
