Also thinking about using two of these instead of karabiners.

I’ve also sent away for the smaller sizes to try them out. 5mm 4mm

I'll post some pictures when I get them.

Is that stuff like climbing tape? There is no picture on the web site. I would be really keen to see some pictures or samples of this. I use climbing tape that I am very happy with but it costs about £1.50 a meter. Okay when I only had one hammock but now I am going to have spares for the kids etc I would like a cheaper option.

Hi John PM me your address and I’ll send you out two samples at 20mm and 25mm.




This screw gate karabiner weighs 60 grams.

Sounds like a group buy of tapes in the planning

PM coming shortly.

From the picture it looks quite thin. How are the knots when you try to release them. looks like they could be pretty stiff.

As for a group buy at those prices you could order direct

John

Let us know what you think, when you have seen the samples.

Does look quite thin, I have some lovely red & orange climbing tape

With discount, I got it for a £1 a metre from Cotswolds

The knots come undone with a good tug. Never had any problems with them sticking and I'm no lightweight Slight bit of stretch but just tie it a bit higher.
I use the same knots RM uses for the Eco System in the Bushcraft book.

I see from the Point North website that they also sell midge netting.

6.90 a metre. But that's for a 3 metre width.
So, £20.70 for 3m x 3m.

That would cover a hammock nicely, I'd have thought. Now, how to secure it...

I use the same knots and find they work really well with the climbing tape. Also the climbing tape does not stretch at all but it will be interesting to see the difference.
