Hey all, shot a quick(?) video of two mods I´ve made to the Amok Draumr kit. Wasn´t sure where to post it, so mods should feel free to move this elsewhere.
Filmed a spring evening south of Stockholm, Sweden. I have replaced the stock line tensioners on the ridge lines and also added a shock cord to lift the fabric on the head end of the hammock. Apologies for the shoddy camera work, was completely ad hoc. Hope you enjoy the scenery.
Nicely done, Tord. No apologies needed. It was a great vid.
Regarding tying off a guyline to a rock: last year somebody showed me a trick that was so simple that it was like, "Duh! How did I ever miss coming up with one on my own?".... Rocks are always difficult to get your line looped around because of their irregular shape. You use up large amounts of the length just getting it wrapped all around and secure.
The simple trick is to tie your guyline to 6 inch stick [uses only a couple of inches of line], and then set a rock on top of the line to keep the stick from pulling forward. It has the advantage that if only small rocks are available, you can just stack several of them on and around the branch, or jam a longer stick behind two shrubs.
