My rain dripline water stoppage

[pinay_lovr]

Hope this helps someone. This is the method I thought would work well for those rainy nights/days. My testing seems to prove it does indeed work. I had a little wicking down the whoopie, but otherwise no water made it past the green pursik knot. I sprayed about two mins worth of water on the line.

The hole is smaller diameter than the whoopie so to 'pinch' slightly to prevent wicking.

I applaud you for your thinking. The most effective and simplest method I have found is simply tying a simple piece of string to your suspension line.

Nice idea. Light and simple. I've used a piece of paracord tied around my whoopies in the past and it worked well. I have Dutch biners connecting my whoopies to the continues loops and so far they've worked well as a water break. If i were going whoopies straight to the hammock i would definitely try your idea.

I get all effete and fancified.. I make locked brummels in the end of 8" pieces of mason's twine and bury the other end. Just larkshead or prussic it over your line a couple of inches under the edge of the tarp overhang.
You can make them up really quickly while sitting around the campfire, and pass them out to your friends.

Thanks for the complements. I'm not smart enough to use mathematical calculations, I just have a idea, then test and tweak until it works.

I really like the milk lid idea. I'm stealing it.
