    TheGuyWithEyebrows has created J Bend. There is some eyeballing, getting J Bend adjusted to desired length. TheGuyWithEyeBrows has demonstrated on video setting J Bend quickly and at good hang angle and ridgeline tension-all on first try.
    Im not that skilled, I’m sure it’s a skill that be replicated.
    Best qualities of J Bend
    Will not slip
    Will not jam
    Easy enough to learn, because it’s basis is marlin spike hitch.

    Webbing-on-webbing might have too much friction.

    Although stuff like Venom and other 'flavors' of UHMWPE might not because in actual use they're more like cord than webbing.

    I just got my new WB Eldorado with the Becket Suspension. In my hurry to set it up in the basement and talking to my boys at the same time, I tied the Becket hitch over the strap instead of the continuous loop. (I have no idea why since I use the Becket hitch on my WBRR. So, it’s not like it’s new to me.) Also, in my rush, I didn’t put the foam squares that were right next to me under the hammock. Well, I ended up on the concrete floor and my boys had a good laugh. No permanent damage to me physically.

    I immediately realized what I did wrong and also was able to show the boys the heat damage that occurs to the continuous loop.



    Not a big loss since I already had the Evo loops from Jeff on hand that I was going to replace them with. I also decided to add the extra toggle that Brandon demonstrated in his Becket Suspension video.

    The knot shown, I call Carolina Becket Hitch - can adjust close to exactly where you want your hammock to be. I make it a little tighter or shorter to allow for some settling as hitch is fully hand tightened and hammock slowly loaded.
    I like this 'Carolina Becket Hitch' David - thanks for sharing it.
