    newbe upgrade/modification questions

    I am finally getting around to upgrading my ENO DN and have added a zing-it whoopie srl and 1/8" Amsteel continuous loops. when removing the stock rope from the sewed channel i see tbat it is larksheaded then looped back through one of the loop sides. It seems that tbjs may keep the larkshead from coming undone when packing it up. I am wondering if doing this with the continuous loops would be a good/bad idea? I also plan on attaching the loops to my atlas straps (until i can get something better) with soft shackles. Would also love to hear any experienced opinions on that idea.

    A simple larks head is enough. That's what you'll find on most hammocks, and I believe all of the cottage vendors hammocks.

    Once you load the hammock, the larksheads will "set", and will stay put unless deliberately disturbed.

    If your still concerned after the above info, you can always connect the two CL's together with a non climbing biner.
