Another vote for having the Blake's hitch as a separate piece.
I've tried the integrated version before and when using paracord, it quickly becomes unusable due to the twisting.
It's also...
I hang my hammock from the shuttle end of the UCR, if nothing else it gives you an extra water break.

I use UCR's exclusively and also use a prusik, however I've just gone with a 5 wrap prusik straight from the loose end of the bury.
I've got around 20 nights on them so far with zero slippage (I'm...
The TacBlades version will actually give you 200% line strength but with the theoretical possibility that the burys could back out.
The locked brummel method is only 90/100% line but cannot have...

Hi there,
I'm interested in the tarp, but am based in the UK.
If your ok with shipping over the pond (with the price to reflect the increased postage cost), then let me know and I'm sure we can...
I tested it with the rather flimsy flip flops/sandals I have sitting by the front door for short trips outside and it was fine, with trainers/walking boots it would be more than fine. You wouldn't...
I'm not really a shortie at 5'10", but I have had to reach up higher than I could comfortably get a couple of times and your little foot harness looks like just the ticket.
A short run of paracord...
I got the Best Buddy hammock/hiking table.
Can't wait to get out there now!
Tear Aid Type A, small squares used to patch both sides of the holes and you will just fine.
It's amazing stuff and it's always worth having some in your kit bag

Wow, that's great information.
I've just tied it as you described above and it does now indeed lock up in both directions.
I think this knot is going into the rotation now, I always went with...
Regarding the Blake's hitch, am i right in thinking that it will only lock up when pulled from one direction and will slip when pulled from the other?

Bump, although I think I'm sorted...
I've got one of Mathew's 'winter hiker' hammocks and it's pretty hard to fault to be honest.
It has 1000g of Climashield Apex synthetic insulation stitched onto the the entire width of the hammock...

Ideally the 20F version or below.

Sale agreed for the Warbonnet XLC Double Layer
Sale agreed for the Hammock Gear Dyneema Tarp and the WB Top Quilt and Under Quilt Protector
Hi there,
It sounds very interesting.
Can I ask what fabric the hammock is in?

When using paracord, I find that with the Truckie hitch that the bend would always want to fold over and slip.
I make a second bight and loop to secure the first bight loop and I've never had this...
Hi there,
Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to hold out for a double layer.
I'll let you know if I change my mind for any reason.

Just giving this a bump
Hi all,
My daughter wants to start hanging with me, so I'm taking the opportunity to pass my kit down so I can try something new :D
I'm after a newer model (post Oct 2017) Warbonnet Blackbird...
