    I use about 75' of line to get across a maximum of about 30-35' of span between trees. More than that and the sag in amsteel (even when pulled straight prior before stretching) puts me on the ground...

    I prussik baby S-biners onto my SLS. Could just as easily use toggles or whatever (I'm lazy). Allows for one piece of cordage for hammock suspension and tarp. Maybe a little bit heavier (difference...

    Probably not what you're looking for, but I tend to carry some gear in my pack in the event I can't hang. First off the gear I usually use: DoubleNest with a SRL that stays on it, footprint from my...

    In the scouts, we practice the way you're doing it, wrapping the tail around a tree (with sticks as bark buffers) and tying off with slippery half hitches. The only modification is to put a loop in...

    I string my ridgeline tight and use an SRL to set my sag. That allows me to get past most of the limitations with tree spacing once my amsteel sets for the night. I know that's not really answering...

    I throw my tarp over the top ridgeline of my SLS setup so that when I get into my hammock the tarp is pulled more taught. If I'm not I'm my hammock, I don't really care how much sag my tarp has. I...

    This is the primary reason I use descender rings on my tree strap and a ucr on the adjusting end of my setup connecting to carabiners on the hammock ends. Even then, I've seen wear on the ucr...
