A while back I mentioned on a hammock post that I used climbing slings to hang my DD hammock. Well I have finally got round to taking some pictures of what I meant.
The long slings are 3m long when pulled tight, so about a 6m loop. The short ones are about 0.5m. The carabiners are off a quickdraw and are non-locking. The carabiners stay on the hammock when I put it back in the stuff sack.
By doubling, knotting and other clever trickery these slings usually have my hammock up in a couple of minutes and down in the same.
So all I need to carry is the hammock and two slings. The slings are 20Kn breaking strain.
Cheers.
