    I can't find it!!!

    I remember someone trying a hammock with diagonally cut ends before whipping instead of a rectangle. I have searched every way I can think of. Does anyone remember this?
    Thanks!

    Yeah I played around with it, but never really followed through. One of these days.

    Using a slippery double sheet bend to tie a piece of Spectra or some kind of rope to the hammock would make it real easy to take apart. Then when you get it the way you want it , take out the slippery end and tie without it.
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.

    Thanks, that was the one. Coffee, how come you haven't followed through? From your testing it looks good.
