>>2765256>70D is used plenty, in practically every HennessyOffering it as an option does not mean it’s used in “practically every Hennessy”
It’s offered by nearly every hammock maker, but it’s not the standard or most used option.
>eliminating middle sagI’m not sure what you mean by this, but if you mean it stretches less when laying in it, I suppose so, but the orientation of the ripstop grid has a lot more of an effect on that than denier.
This is why 1,6 HyperD is so popular; the ripstop grid is woven in on the bias instead of the typical horizontal and vertical orientation.
This gives it minimal diagonal stretch without having to go up in denier to accomplish that.
>enjoy your blah blah..The only time I’ve fallen to ground in my hammock was when I was drunk and incorrectly tied a becket hitch to my UCR while I was drunk.
Sure, user error, but it’s impossible to incorrectly tie something that uses no knots.
I switched to beetle buckles a year ago just cuz I wanted to have a one piece system of just a strap and buckle vs a two piece system of tree strap + UCR.
Since then I’ve used them in freezing rain and snow just fine.
Both hardware and knots work as long as you use them right, but the greater ease of hardware is undeniable.
