    Ok, so now I gotta find some spare time and knock out a couple of mason line yackles!

    I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

    Very cool, I'd like to see this design with other materials. I'd also like to see what people use the loop for in the future. I have different thoughts going through my head on it. Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

    Why a loop? Why not back to back 'biners?

    I don't think the back to back biners would work. You need a free end to pass inside the loop to hold on the knot. Once its passed around say a ridgeline you would not be able to get the other loop to get behind the knot. I think the fixed eye is a great idea, great job Yukon.

    Yackle used as a prussic= Yackic - Ohh I gotta make me 2 of those!
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    Not a bad idea, just make a larger fixed eyed and voila!

    So as to not hijack the thread - http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...918#post523918

    I took oldgringo up on his suggestion. Thanks to raiffnuke for the assistance too.

    Cool idea, here is my try at it with a locked bremmel for the loop. I used lash it.
