    Overnight + trips

    When I was in college I did that all the time. It is fun. I didn’t do it after starting a family, but now that our kids are grown, I am thinking about doing it again. You will be missing a shower or two, so plan scent control accordingly.

    bridge - Rope vs Amsteel

    No worries, I think we all learn a lot from these discussions. Yes, the fact that the splice turns back on itself causes the weak spot, but that is relative. That’s why I’m sure it’s fine if you use the appropriate safety margins. I have used plenty of self made 1/8” daisy chains (a whole bunch...

    Anybody ever climb just to climb?

    Yep. Depending on the method, it can be good for balance as well as leg and core strength

    bridge - Rope vs Amsteel

    Correct. It just bothers me that in just about every discussion I see about splicing (I’m also on Hammock Forums a lot), people state that the locked Brummell is stronger than a correctly made straight eye splice. It’s just an incorrect statement that has been scientifically proven. Having...

    bridge - Rope vs Amsteel

    I’m not arguing that you should use Amsteel for a bridge or prusik, but a straight splice is definitely stronger than ‘rebraiding the rope around the splice’ (assuming proper bury length with tapered strands). So, if I were to make a continuous loop as a prusik for an adjustable bridge, I would...

    Mini Seeker vs. Onyx

    I don’t have either platform, but take a look a the new Vice Carrier from Custom Gear Modifications as a way to carry your one stick. https://www.customgearmodifications.com/product-page/the-vice-carrier

    Skurka is awesome, but I’m not a big fan of Skurka beans.

    Tree Styx

    One of my other hobbies is ultralight backpacking. Dudes in that world don’t think twice about spending a few hundred to save 8 OUNCES. Funny how it’s all relative.

    What will you test or tinker?

    Still searching for the perfect foot loop for 2TC. I just made one out of 5/16” Amsteel and plan to test it out after work today.

    DIY lone wolf seat platform attachment method.

    You certainly could, but not would add more weight and bulk. Mine cams over rock solid just like it is. Having said that, I’m really liking the Latitude X-wing that I recently purchased.
