I love that you couldn't explain the knot without saying make sure the continuous loop is on the top portion without laughing at yourself. Those of us that watch them all know why.
I don’t have any idea what you are talking about!! LOL!
thanks Mark!
Anytime!
I'm glad you posted this. I picked up a couple of 2 inch straps this year intending to do the exact same thing. Wasn't sure if I'd go back to a system with more hardware, but wanted to try it out. This gives me more confidence in the system, which I really appreciate.
It works for me!
This dude (jeff myers) litteratly has a playlist called "stray dogs hit by trains"
I used just the basic 15' nylon straps from Dutch with the becket hitch this past year and it worked out great. Less hardware the better. I have to check out those Myerstech straps.
I'm speechless. I used descending rings and carabiners for most of ten years. Then, late last year, I bought some of Jeff Myer's Evo Loops to replace the carabiners. Been working great. Now you've made me realize I can dump the descending rings AND the Evo Loops and lose nothing except complexity. Thanks a million. (Though you have had me waiting for the Ridge Outdoor 360 to be re-stocked for MONTHS! What's up with that?)
Damn, sorry about the wait! Appreciate the kind words, hope you enjoy the simplicity!
Great simple solution. Good to know even if you use hardware as a backup.
It sure is! Thanks!
Good stuff. I am pretty good with my knots (including this one) but I am willing to take the weight "penalty" for cinch buckles for total ease of adjustment.
The ease of adjustment is great with cinch buckles for sure, they're dead easy!
FYI:
UHMWPE (Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is the same material used in Level IV body armor
and cutting boards...
Sweet, I'll get more in case it pops off!
Thanks for helping me choose the XLC! couldn’t be happier
Happy to have helped you find the right hammock! Sweet, enjoy!
Warbonnet Blackbird XLC Absolutely love it!!

You're welcome!
I’m a fan of Beckett hitch, no hardware. I put an alpine butterfly knot loop on the end of the continuous loops - gives leverage for pulling out the Beckett when it’s tight. Myerstech sells continuous loops with an extra loop too. I like to use standard webbing tree straps and then attach the dyneema webbing to that - heavier, but I find it easier to wrap the tree and make sure I’m not damaging the bark. But my Dyneema webbing tends to narrow and a bit of a pain to flatten - your webbing looks easier to wrap around the tree flat.
I do have some continuous loops with the extra loop on the end to help give leverage for when the Beckett really locks in, but I haven't had that happen much with these straps.
I have the Superior Straps and the Superior UL straps. Both are excellent and super easy to use. These look legit though too!
Thanks, whatever works for you, go for it!
I also set up my hammock the same way. I will take one 6 ft. whoopie sling just in case I have to hang from two trees too far apart.
That's one tuff bug net yer sittin on there....I don't know how sturdy I would feel in that rig,but itsa nice setup.
Yeah, it's not exactly confidence inspiring when you can see through it!
Thanks for the information, but not really my type of hang, I do enjoy to thinker whit hardware
I recall a previous video where you were using an all in one hammock/tarp suspension (also from myerstech). Have you gone away from this and back to a separate tarp suspension?
Yes, I sure have, it was just too difficult and time consuming to set it up properly each time. Just simpler to go separates.
Have you tried the beckett hitch straps from Warbonnet? I think those are even lighter than these from Meyerstech but they don't like to lay flat like you mentioned.
I have, and you're right, they don't return to flat like these do. I have several that are lighter than these, but I don't like that they don't lay as flat.
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 I don't see the white with a black border for sale from Meyerstech. Can you post a link to the exact product?
Shoot Jeff a message, he should get back to you pretty quickly.
@@JonathanThrift www.ebay.com/itm/284318376185
@KAA902 never saw a message from you , where did you send it ?

Hey ! I'm currently buying everything to go ultralight, and this includes a dyneema webbing, wich is approx. 1.5g per foot. But you said that you went away from this material, why is that ? If it is because of the slippery surface of it, couldn't I simply add an additional "security" knot to lock the first knot ? If it's because it doesnt easily stay flat, couldn't I simply make an double wrap around the tree if I have enough lenght ? Thanks for your answer, and for your videos too !
Great review, totally get what you mean when you say basic.
How much heavier are these compared to the Warbonnet please.
They are 0.8 oz heavier per set.
3 grams a foot is what they weigh.
what hammock are you using in this video?
Thanks for the content!! Im 5,7 245 lbs. trying to get in shape like you it’s not easy🤦🏼♂️😂. Anyway if I use that same light suspension system as you do, I should be fine right?? Will Carry my weight with no problem?? Also where can i buy the straps? Thank uou
If you go here you can order some - www.etsy.com/listing/862465546/hammock-becket-hitch-kit-uhmwpe?ref=shop_home_active_6&frs=1
Yes they should easily hold your current weight. It is not easy, I’m working hard right now to shed some extra pounds I’ve put on and it’s all about making smart choices, working hard and avoiding temptation!
@Spiguyver Backpacking Superior hammock or Dutchware chameleon??
Depends, if you want all the accessories, the Chameleon, if you want the simple solution, the Superior.
Hey Mark, I bought the becket suspension from Warbonnet. My knot slips and I have to wrap it around twice to reinforce the know and get it to hold. But I have a hard time pulling it to untie the knot. Do you think that's because of the strap?
It would likely be the strap, but it's hard to tell.
I just ordered new straps that are straight UHMWPE. Will they work as nicely with the Beckett Hitch as your blended material?
I think they will, but they could be like the kevlar ones that bunch up and are harder to flatten out.
Hello, thank you for the video
JeffMyers sent me to your video to show me this straps
I am looking for something really tree friendly (and I am completely new to hammock!) : are these strap avoiding any damage to trees ?
Would you recommend me anything else (superior gear?) ?
Thanks
There are several great straps I would recommend. If you're comfortable doing something like the Beckett Hitch, these have been great. Also the Birch Buckles by Autumn Outdoors is a little easier if that's what you're looking for.
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 Thanks !
What material is your hammock made of? It looks like bug netting;).
It's Cloud .71. It's an amazing new fabric, strong, light and see thru!
Hey Spiguyver! Been using the same system for years, in fact hung a hammock yesterday night to sleep in out on the patio :)
Say, I bought the dynema webbing from Myers years ago but it is very, very stiff after loaded. I've been looking for your suggestion on Myers Facebook & Ebay sites with no luck. A reply you made Jonathan indicates you have an email for Myers, could you post that? A polyester/UHMWPE webbing that stays flexible would be great. Thanks.
Been watching your channel for a while - Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Backpacking Trip Published on Sep 26, 2017
:)
I just have his Facebook stuff. I will shoot him a message, I know others have already too!
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 I sent a message thru "da Face" too. It would be nice to buy some webbing that doesn't "freeze" like the Dynema webbing I currently have. - thanks for taking the time to reply :)
How does this system work with heavy rain? I've been using the Beckett hitch for a while now and it always seems to channel water into the hammock even with a water break.
That's strange. I've never had any issues and I've been using the Beckett hitch system for many years now. I've been in plenty of hard rains, but haven't experienced the hammock getting wet. Could it possibly be the material of your straps?
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 Thanks for the reply! I just found another one of your videos showing how you tie your water breaks and I’m going to try that on an upcoming trip this weekend. Take Care!
I’ve had a lot of problems using an Amsteel loop and it slipping using the becket hitch attached to venom or nylon. Any ideas?
I haven't seen that problem, are you making sure that it's inside of the continuous loop like I show?
if using venom webbing use a lapp knot th-cam.com/video/1mcfEhqlnws/w-d-xo.html
I like the simplicity of the Beckett hitch, but have reservations about water seepage. Have you or anyone else here had a problem with water seeping to the hammock or do you use some form of a water break?
If you do a search for Derek Hansen, he wrote The Ultimate Hang, he does a video comparing different suspensions and knot systems and found the most effective water break to be a becket hitch! I've never had an issue and don't run any additional water breaks.
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 Thanks. I watched the video and it does appear the Becket hitch works as well as any other type of water break. I will try it but probably still incorporate a drip line as backup just in case.
Yo mark do you like dogs?
I love Jeff’s stuff as well. I have one question though. Do you know how it compares to spider 1.5? I’m guessing it’s the lay flat/not as stiff quality, but I don’t have any experience with either. Thanks for any insight.
I don't know exactly.
it's a huge difference, the 1.5 from dutch turns into rope and stays that way , about like the black venom webbing. This webbing is almost like polyester , and will reflatten almost by itself
@@jeffmyers7062is the straight UHMWPE the same as the ones in this video? Will they work the same way?
Where can I buy this particular webbing?
Jeff Myers or Myerstech on FB and he does have ebay and maybe etsy.
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 Thanks. I have heard and from watching Jeff's videos that this weight webbing can actually slip using the becket knot and that it is a good idea to use a modified Becket knot or what is called a Lapp Knot. WHAT has your experience been?? Tks
To bad Jeff has dropped the ball on 4 orders of mine this year. The last time he actually got pretty shitty with me. Idk what happened but it seems Myerstech has gone down hill
I'm really sorry to hear that. From time to time I do see people post things like this. I've been fortunate, but it does suck when it happens.
@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 it really does. I’ve been a customer for many years. I’ve bought a lot of products from him. He makes quality, lightweight, affordable gear. My last string of emails and messages with him were just plain nasty.
@@notyouraccount9742 I've bought a few things from Jeff. Service IS really important though, you're right. I likely tire people out with my questions, but it is just who I am. I'm inquisitive. Jeff is amazing and faithful and innovative. Hope he never grows to weary and keeps a good attitude as he progresses along.
