Amsteel UCR Help Needed

[Jamie2483]

Hi all,

I'm struggling to work out the lengths of Amsteel I'm going to need to make a structured ridgeline UCR. My hammocks is 10"5 and am aiming for the golden 83% length of ridgeline (8 feet 7¾ inches). How does this length relate to the two lengths of Amsteel that I will need. I've seen a lot of the constrictors that people make are from lengths of around 30 inches. I would want a 10 inch bury just to be on the safe side.

I currently have a 4 metre length of Amsteel and a 30 inch length if that is of any help.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Jamie

I prefer to make my UCR ridge-lines long so they can be used on bigger or smaller hammocks (about 10'). I make the constrictor part from about a 4' piece with a minimum 12" bury and I still need a knot or elastic band to tension it or it'll slip
