Have recently bought a DD Travel Hammock and was about to carry out the Krab mod, detailed in Chainsaws excellent Blog of March 2008.
I chickened out on two counts.
Somewhere Ive read that 30cm, is the recommended length for the loops through the end channels of the hammock. Utilizing the black webbing and using a single fishermans knot, a cursory glance suggests its doable, but mighty tight. Whats the consensus on the optimum length for the loops.
My other minor concern, is what effect if any, does the gathered ends have on the ability of the hammock to function as a bivi.
Any advice would be appreciated
