    Zing/Lash it Soft Shackle (Video)

    Hey folks,

    I wanted a soft shackle to Prusik to my ridge line organizer to my hammock ridge line. Most video tutorials are using Amstel or other thicker cords and the stopper knot is usually too complicated for me to tie.

    So, I stumbled on nugget’s tutorial for a simplified zing/lash it soft shackle.

    Worked well for my purposes. So, I made a video for people who may find that helpful.

    Here’s the video:

    Gonna put this one on the list for later viewing. Soft shackles are useful but like you I find stopper knots difficult. If this one is within my fumble finger capabilities I'll be making a couple. Thanks.
    "...the height of hammock snobbery!"

    The knot is just an overhand knot so it’s way easier. The hard part is dealing with the small size of the rope.

    It’s not meant for weight bearing applications like an Amsteel one with a proper stopper.

    But it works for light duty.

    Hope it helps you.
