    Video: Knots/hitches I Use for my ridgeline

    Hello everybody! I purchased a custom ridgeline from http://whoopieslings.com/ I opted for some soft shackles and I thought I would post a video I did on the knots I use to attach to the tree's.Really easy and fast! I like to use knots just so I don't forget how to tie them . I learned to use the Marline spike hitch for guy out points from the forums here. I Show several examples of how to tie them. I hope its not to boring!

    Nice work on the video. It's always nice to visualize how it's done. I'm sure it will get many referrals for new hangers.

    I must be Knot challenged because I try to follow these simple knots but still manage to screw them up.

    I'm sure you'll get it with a little practice, With the mooring hitch make sure your tag end is on the bottom of the loop you make. If this is reversed it wont hold right

    Mine is similar, but you tweaked it just a little for me with slight variations of the knots. Thanks for the video.
