Hi nanok, I just I saw your picture in the levitating tarp post
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...evitating-tarp , and I think that you might be using your UCR differently to me. That might be why the idea is not making sense? I have the outer constrictor part attached to the hammock, and the long inner part attached to the tree. In your photo the constrictor looks white and the inner looks grey. However the dangling piece also looks white so I'm not exactly sure what's going on there. Might just be the light in the photo. Let me know if you want to know more about how I'm doing it or want photos or video. I can assure you the hitches do not contact the constrictor until you have slipped a couple of inches and by then your constrictor will not save itself before you hit the ground so the jamming saves you from getting muddy at that point. The idea of a gripper knot on the tree end of the constrictor being able to fully stop slide with full body weight on the hammock did not work in my tests. Maybe with a much longer bury it would but with 70 diameters and full body weight then if you are already slipping because you forgot to milk the bury then you're going all the way down unless there's a stopper somewhere in the system. Apologies if my explanations are confusing!
