UCR adjustable ridgeline

[Eagle Eye]

If anybody who has one of our Dnyaglide UCR ridgeline would like to write a review of it I would sure appreciate it. I am looking for some feedback on ease of use and the overall length. We make them so they go to about 126", which is really long. I guess the good thing is you can permanently make them smaller by cutting the long piece down once you have it set up in your rig. Then just rebury the end or whatever. Kind of just wondering if anybody uses the entire 126" and how much is getting wasted.

After looking at your UCR, I made one for my WBBB with some Dynaglide I had ordered from Dutch. I also installed a Dutch RL biner so I could detach my RL.

I made mine long too and didn't really know what to do with the free end that was hanging down. I just kind of wrapped it up around the RL while I played with different RL lengths until I found one that I felt was just right to minimize the calf ridge and give me the lie I was looking for.

I found it very easy to adjust the UCR. I had considered changing out my whoopie slings to a UCR suspension, but then decided to stick with the slings as it just seems safer with kids around.

I marked my line and cut it. Then I added a locked brummel to the end making it a fixed RL. I don't remember what the overall length was when I finished, but locked brummel works great for hooking up the RL and taking it down with the Dutch biner. The Dutch biner worked great with the UCR RL setup as well. I just wanted to clean up that free end and I am a little bit of a gram weenie.

If I had kept the UCR, I would halve cut the line at a maybe 6" past the burry and reburied the end.

I didn't need the whole 126" for the WBBB. I think if the overall length was around 110" that would have been plenty for me, but the WBBB is not the longest hammock in the woods so I would not make it a shorter to start with. Also having the long length of line left plenty to fool around and have enough to do the locked brummel.

Unrelated sort of, with the Dutch biner on the RL I am able to string on a photon micro light or other accessories without pulling the RL out of the hammock and that is nice!

I hope my rambling helps answer your questions.

i have a potentially dumb question, but what does UCR stand for? lots of talk about these things, but no definition :0)

Utility Constrictor Ropes. 2 separate lines, one fed through the other with the constriction used to hold it, vs the whoopies, which are made from a continuous piece of rope. UCR's use less rope, and are a tiny bit lighter

It took me a while to figure out that initialization as well.

Somewhere on the forum is a list of standard abbreviations. Hat really helped getting me up to speed.
