Hi all,
i'll start this by saying sorry for all the noob questions.
I'm hopefully getting a DD travel hammock for my birthday and am going on my 1st wild camping trip soon after.
I've seen plenty of mods to make hammocks super easy to set up and take down and stop wicking etc.
Thing is I'm a cheapskate. Also i feel that i should do things the hard way first to make it all the better when moving to the easy way.
i'm going to definitely do the karabiner mod either end of the hammock to keep me dry.
but should i also replace webbing etc with lighter, less bulky cord?
ill leave whoopie slings for when i have proved i can hang with just a few good knots!
also what knots should i use to make the loop on the hammock end that i will then attach the karabiner onto?
as ever - any help appreciated!
Chaard.
