I am making my own hammock soon, so I need a fixed ridgeline. Instead of my usual "find somewhere to buy one" attitude, I decided to look into this splicing thing. I didn't even know what "splicing" was until years into hanging. I figured it was too complicated and gave up before even trying.

So I got some galvanized wire from the garage and a scrap piece of zingit. EASY!!!! Again, why did I wait so long? This is actually fun!

First rushed attempt actually turned out perfect! I went a little overboard on the bury length though. Now on to a long piece of my hammock!
