Please be so kind and explain the purpose of the tail loop mentioned in 19:28 , I dont understand why it is there. Thanks
It's keeps tension on the bury to prevent you from accidentally loosening the bury and also prevent the tail from hanging down
Made it even with 6 inch bury on ends end 12 inch bury on constrictor part. Slips with my 70kg (( Made with 3mm (1/8 inch) Chinese UHMWPE. It's too slippy. Just think it is 100 diameters bury and it slips with human weight. Maybe the reason is that small ring doesn't hold
Is 4 inches enough for burring? It is recommended at least 50 and up to 100 diameters to bury after brummel lock. So it's probably o.k. if you use 2mm rope. But anything thicker should be burried longer. According to hownot2 video the strength of brummel with short bury can half. I advice to see it to everyone who want to make something with UHMWPE th-cam.com/video/lhIPeJNWtxE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oZ049C4q23Bw28ov
Excellent!! Thanks 🙏
Question for you on this. I received my REM hammock yesterday and it has a shock cord inside the bug net to hold it up. The SRL is on the outside. Is that the way you want it to be used? I'd like to ditch the shock cord and run the SRL inside, like I usually do. Can I do that, or is the SRL outside the net to make sure the net can't get stretched too far somehow. It's a nice piece of gear and I'm planning to get some good use out of it. Thank you.
Could do a mobius Brummel for the second loop. Thank you for this video.
I like to have 5-6 diameters or the line for the noose size. I think yours is a bit too small. I think that the soft shackles that you sell have larger nooses than you are showing. A small crochet hook will work instead of the latch hook as well.
What is the small eye for? Is it a stopper of some kind?
can i ask you for bipod behind you?.... and the anchor you use for it?... thanks
That is a YOBO stand and it's called the freedom stand
excellent... waiting for mine..greetings from Colombia..thanks
What if my hammock doesn't have an opening to thread the ridgeline through ?
You may have to have it above the bug netting if that's the case
What is the thickness of the cord?
7/64th
Thanks for the great video. You made each step clear, and I could make the splice almost as fast as you did! (Almost)
Excellent clear instructions, thanks.👍👏🏴
俗に云うUCRですなぁ(笑)
Is the process similar for thicker 12 strand dyneema? I was following along, but the last steps of hiding the ends only seems to stop about an inch inside. Much harder to pull it, or even get a grip on it with the smaller latch hook.
Have you tried break testing your loops? After the initial part where you pulled each tail through the other side, it looked like you could easily pull the loop apart. Without actually locking the loop, it seems like the strength of the splice is based on the buried ends. Not even lockstitched? Hmm. I'm skeptical of the strength.
I have, and they actually were stronger than a locking stich continuous loop. It wasn't much difference, though. The average for the locked brummel was 2928 pounds and 3044 for these.
Great video. I've purchased your soft shackles on line and the manufacture is first-class. This video shows how you do it. Thank you. The Brion Toss button knot takes practice but is worth learning. I give links to this video in my lesson on soft shackle construction for the Hoofer Sailing Club.
Great to hear!
Very clear and informative; thanks! I’m just starting my outdoor adventure channel and still need to get gear for hammocking. I’m really digging your gear, and the things I’ve heard about them. Blessings, David
Thank you for the great feedback! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks 👍
Thank you too
Thanks for breaking it down with the red and Blue. This intimidating knot is alot easier than I thought. your videos are awesome.
Glad it was helpful! I appreciate it!
Thanks for the video! Does it matter which side you bury which end in? I'm assuming it doesn't, it's a very detailed video, thanks again!
It does. You want to bury in the direction that the ends are pulled. If not, your ends will be crossed
Thanks for this vid. seriously
Glad you liked it!
I got your needle and have 1/8 amsteel does not work good i got 1 made numder 2 junk 1 hour had to cut needle out i going to try flat needle that hooks amsteel in the back
I'm sorry to hear that. Please take note that this is meant for 7/64th Amsteel as that is the standard for hammock suspension. Feel free to email me at contact@hanginghighhammocks.com with any other questions.
Super 🙌🏼
Thanks 🤗
Im still not getting whoopie slings? You still need to have tree straps, right? So effectively adding more weight. Im thinking a paracord loop, a metre long with a reef knot, then clip your carabiner for the whoopie sling. Any suggestions?
Tree straps are indeed crucial to protect trees, so you'll want to keep using them. Amsteel, in contrast to paracord, has minimal stretch and offers easier adjustability. However, the beauty of hammock camping lies in personal preferences. As long as your setup is comfortable and safe, it's all about what works best for you! Happy hanging!
Hi, May i ask you where do you purchase your amsteel, plz. Thank you
It is from a wholesale distributor. We have it for sale on out site!
Thank you chando, you'r soo good in explanation
I am unfamiliar with that term but I hope this video helped! I'm still working on speaking in front of a camera but just trying to help people make their own suspension!
Literally followed along step by step and now have a functional structural ridgeline! Laughing because you made it easy, Trevor!!
That's fantastic to hear! I'm glad to have been able to assist you in splicing your structural ridgeline. Enjoy your hammocking adventures, and if you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Happy hanging!
I like this because of lack of wear on the tarp but is there not room for sag or deformation due to wind with this setup?
Im sorry. what do you mean by "is there not room for sag or deformation due to wind with this setup?"
I take it back. I tried this method out last late last fall and will continue to. It is easier, better and lighter. I used something a little different as Dutch hardware is simply too expensive to get where I live. But yes this system is probably the best. :) @@hanginghighhammocks
Got any pics of this in use?
Thanks for reaching out. Please see video here: th-cam.com/video/_QhDpYntlGU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OfuTwd-qUPfi2AlG
Howdy and great video! Will the rough measurement always be double the finished outcome? Im not making hammock suspension but replacing the degrading cordage in some of my gear bags and I want loops on both ends for hanging. Thanks for any input.
Hey! No, not every time. Check out my splicing length calculator on this page: hanginghighhammocks.com/pages/how-to-splice-your-own-hammock-suspension
Thanks i have no clue what its for but really clear instructions
Thank you! Its a button not that I use in a soft shackle. This can replace carabieners! Happy Hanging
Ah! The Andean hand ply. This ancient method allows hand spinners to spin one length of line, wrap figure 8 like you did cordage, take two ends and ply together.
@pyronymph-868 Thanks for sharing that knowledge! The Andean hand ply technique is indeed fascinating and demonstrates the incredible craftsmanship of ancient methods. It's always wonderful to learn about different ways people have been storing cords and lines throughout history.
Best instructions - ever… super helpful… THANK you…
Glad it was helpful!
Your "not best splicing" is 100x better than my best splicing :D Thanks for sharing! Exactly what I needed to see. Great explanation.
I'm really glad you liked it and it helped! You'll get there! The more you do the easier it gets! Just get on practicing. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with
@@hanginghighhammocks The button knot is just killing me. I watched your other video. I'll keep working on it. I'm glad I bought the handled splicing needle from you though, it makes the work so much easier!
@@someidiot3411 Do you have any larger rope that you can practice with? You can also try and make the zing-it longer so you have more rope to work with tying the knot. I'm glad you like the splicing needle. I used to use it without the handle and it was much harder. The handle is a game changer for sure!
Thanks for this tutorial! I made two to try on my tarp w/ridgeline. If they dont slip out I can ditch the toggles.
Sorry for the late response but awesome! How was that button knot? Have you have a chance to use then yet?
@@hanginghighhammocks better late than never ;) I did a test setup in my backyard. They worked like a charm. Definitely staying on my ridgeline. I made a few more, and also some regular soft shackles. Now I can do the button knot almost without thinking.
@Ejeej heck yea! That's awesome to hear. Yea that knot I'd difficult to learn but once you get it, it's much easier and quicker! That's for your support and Get Hanging!
Do you have a link to that splicing tool?
Here it is: hanginghighhammocks.com/products/handle-equipped-splicing-needle-for-lash-it-and-zing-it-in-1-75-and-2-2-diameters?
Why not hang your tarp over its ridgeline?
Sorry for the late reply. The reason I don't hang my tarp on my hammock ridgeline is because one you have your tarp taught and you get in your hammock, your tarp will not be tight anymore. This is because once you get in your hammock it will sag and pull in some. This will cause your tarp to come in on you and will not shed water properly. You also want your tarp a little higher in order to give you some room to move around under it. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Until then... Get Hanging!
@@hanginghighhammocks I think you misunderstood which ridgeline? I was referring to the tarp ridgeline.
Ah sorry about that. Honestly, that's personal preference. If you hang it over the ridgeline, the movement of the tarp on the ridgeline may cause premature wear on your tarp.
@@fishntools There is more than one way to hang a tarp obv.. If your tarp has been seam-taped on the underside for instance, laying the tarp over the ridgeline would potentially introduce wear on the ridgeline seam-taping and cause it to leak prematurely.. In which case, this example is the way to go. H3's newest Hideaway Tarp for example comes this way, seam-taped on the underside of the ridgeline and at the midpoint tie-outs on the walls. I'm going to be adding seam-sealing to the outside myself. ie- th-cam.com/video/3sv2Hhrn1Vg/w-d-xo.html Thinking about this some more, in a particularly windy situation, having the tarp over a stiff ridgeline and the tarp's ridgeline being 'rubbed' laterally across it, it could cause the seam to pop-over the stationary ridgeline and maybe cause premature ridgeline seam-threads failure?
Just curious. Why do you attach the Larks Heads to soft material and not to the carabiner? I just bought a OneWind hammock that has an adjustable ridgeline already on it, and it is attached to the buckles on either end of the hammock. Now I am planning on buying a second, cheaper hammock without a ridgeline for friends who want to go camping with me. I plan on adding a ridgeline myself. So I am researching how to make them. I just noticed that you attach to webbing where mine is attached to buckles, and I thought I'd ask why.
Thank you for the question! It is really up to the hanger in my opinion. When you research how long does a ridgeline need to be, many people recommend starting with a length of 83% of the hammocks length. If you go by this formula, then you will want to attach it to the end of the hammock or as close as possible. If you use an attachment point farther from the hammock ends, you will need to do 83% of that length end to end. What I'm trying to say is that if you have a 11 foot hammock and you are attaching your ridgeline a foot up, away from the hammock end, on each side, then you will need to make your ridgeline 83% of 13 feet. In my experience, you want the ridgeline as close to the hammock ends as possible.
@@hanginghighhammocksperfectly explained....and needed info.thanks.
Great vids! Could you take the time to do a video on your preferred method for creating a tarp guy line incorporating a shock cord?
Honestly, I have never used shock cord for my tarp guy lines. I have always used a truckers hitch and have recently switched to tarp tensioners. I will create a video for using the tarp tensioners and you could incorporate a shock cord loop into it!
@@hanginghighhammocks Greatly appreciated, as my MountainFly requires tensioning of the guy lines several times a day? They say this is normal for Silnylon and I was hoping the shock cord concept would provide solution.
What size needle would you use for 1/8" line? Is it the same technique for Dyneema? Are Dyneema and Amsteel the same thing with different trade names?
Honestly, I have never worked with 1/8" amsteel but may just need a size bigger to make the hole larger. For amsteel versus dyneema, I believe Samson purchases dyneema and then braids it into their own line, Amsteelblue. Amsteelblue is what I and most people use for their suspension, and it comes in any of the 7 color options.
@@hanginghighhammocks appreciate the clarity!
Every other video I watched made it confusing to do this. Yours was clear and concise. I got a ridge line built first try. Good vid!
Thank you so much for that! I really am glad to hear my video was able to help you make your own gear! Get Hanging!
Is there a way to calculate the length of the ridgeline in relation to the length of the hammock - or do I just experiment?
You want to aim for a ridgeline length that is 83% of the hammock length. Then experiment from there. I've found like 87% works best for me
THE LENGTH OF RIDGE LINE IS USUALLY GOING TO BE 80% OF THE LENGTH OF YOUR HAMMOCK. EXAMPLE FOR A 11 FOOT HAMMOCK. THE RIDGE LINE WOULD BE 110 INCHES LONG. IN MOST STANDER HAMMOCK LENGTHS. 80 % IS NORMAL USUALLY.
As far as the taper goes?is there anything wrong with removein strands at differnt lengths rite befer I milk the endin berry barry burry....
If I'm understanding the question correctly, no, there's nothing wrong with that. The smoother the taper transition, the stronger the product
My ridgeline is 7 64s amsteel,whuts the best prusik line set up size?
Really, anything smaller than the 7/64th will allow the prusik to bite into the ridgeline and prevent it from sliding
Found it....
Do ya have a vid on diy soft shackle prussic?I will prolly just order them frum u if I can...had ta order my soft shackles....can't get that knot rite no matter whut I do.....
If I made three foot dog bones ta hook ta beetle buckle suspension and larkshead it ta my hammock would it fail or work fine?
It'll work fine! Same strength
Whuts the name of that mat u werk on?need me one them ....
It's a fiskars cutting mat
