Hello all! First off I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Jason and I live in Asheville NC. I recently got into hammock-camping, and I'm hooked. So far I've got a Doublenest with and a Jarbidge from AHE and a Maccat Deluxe on the way.
Now towards the point; After reading all of your posts for the past few weeks, I've decided that a Structural-Ridge-Line would be a great help in allowing me to set my hammock up quickly, by making sure I get it right the first time.
I understand the basic concept behind the SLR, but I've got a couple of questions.
1. What material should I use? Dynaglide? Amsteel?
I tried using 550 paracord, but needless to say with the stretch it didn't perform as it was intended to.
2. What's the best way to tie the SLR?
Should I use an already made whoopie sling? Taught-line hitch?
3. Has anyone purchased an already made SLR, like the Dynaglide Ridgeline from AHE? Would it be worth the extra dollars to take this route?
Any suggestions would be a great help.
P.S. I would like to thank/compliment every contributor to this forum for allowing this incredible free-flowing of ideas from computer to computer, person to person. It's rare to find a forum with this level of information, and with members who are so helpful. 13381 heads are better than one! That's for sure.
