UCR Prusik substitute

[pascal]

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this forum and this is my first post so I wanted to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone here and, at the risk of stating the obvious, this site has been a treasure trove of knowledge for me and I would never have been able to understand all the subtilities of hammock camping without it, and it’s member’s YouTube videos (shout out to Shug, Dutch & redoleary4 amongst many others). So, thank you very much once again!!! 😊
And I thought since I came up with a small mod that seemed useful, I’d add my grain of salt, for starters to get you guy’s feedback, and maybe even to share a half decent idea… So here goes:
It’s a variation on the conventional UCR setup: I made an adjustable ridgeline for my beach hammock, and instead of adding a Prusik as usual to secure the free end of the UCR, I buried the main line into half of the free loop of the constrictor part of the UCR, giving it roughly the same hold as the Prusik (when milked), but with no extra cordage. Here I had a 3" loop, so 3" bury; way below specs, but again, it's only doing the Prusik's job and not load bearing at all, and you could always make the loop on the constrictor bigger to get a longer bury in. Plus, it's the ridgeline...
I’ll attach pics here and I uploaded a short video to YouTube:
