    Smile Triangle thingys, another option

    I was looking into some triangle thingys for my UQ. Since I have an open hammock I thought maybe this would work instead. I tied two prusik knots on my ridge line and attached small d-rings to run my UQ suspension through.





    Maybe I should have used my wife's green hammock for the pics, but I think you can still see what i did with the black hammock against the black shock cord.

    Nice idea, SADLK.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    That does sound like an easy solution to making triangle thingies aka hammock thongs.

    Hammock thong is great. Or quilt thong, or I leave the rest up to you.

    That will certainly accomplish what the triangle thingies do. Eliminates the side to side movement too. Good thinking. Now if it only worked with bug net.

    I'd say that triangle thingies would be more of a hammock "G-string" that a hammock "thong". Its a subtle distinction
