I just have a standard DD Travel Hammock and tarp.
I am trying to find a guide for the right knots to use for each of these.
The first knot seems straight forward. An Evenk or Falconer's Hitch seem to be used often.
But I can't work out which knot I should use to tie the second end and tension the line at the other end. Redheadcobweb mentions a "power cinch" and I've learned to tie it, but is that the best one? At the moment I have not got a a metal loop or a caribiner so I cannot use the method I have seen on a Ray Mears Video on YouTube, which is also the one in the sticky guide.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
