Peeeeetey, my Momma never told me, I'd have to do any work....

If I've not told you any lies, it's cause I've been out of practice lately...

El Gordo, I hope you liked Farrimond Friction Hitch---the Only slip and grip knot tied in the bight (no need for access to either end) and then when you are done-yank on ripcord and whole knot disappears. When tie with paracord maybe get away with using three wraps yielding 6 coils and with amsteel zing-it or lash-it maybe use five wraps, yielding 10 coils.

First rate fellow hangers. Location only second to Linville Gorge. Great food. Great stories and a little Cops & Robbers thrown in just for fun.

Thanks to Foxpoop and Tacoma76 and all the others for making it happen. Already looking forward to the next John Rock Hang!

Bone Fire very impressive, walking slackline style on a loose too slack wiggly suspension. This is much more difficult than balancing on a real slack line.
There were several knots being tried out for holding without slipping and being easy to un-tie after loading. One of them was slipped zeppelin bend and others might have been modified becket hitch or Carolina Becket

Update for you out of towners. The bad guy subject of the manhunt has been caught, however now there is a search for the man whose truck he stole to get away. Check out WLOSnews.com.
