In case you didn't know using paracord or rope to hold your hammock up can actually cut into the tree killing it or damaging it. I suggest getting some atlas straps.

Cool name for that knot,good vid.btw,manland sent me

[@ScrambledO]

LOL, I think its some type of the Figure 8 knot I just wasn't 100% sure. Thanks for watching Old Swamp Rat 41

[@stephaniecitrino6640]

THANK YOU!! SO SIMPLE

[@Mr808islands]

missing brother scrambled o. watching his videos back n the days

[@DonMilligan]

Good job on the knots, you might want to check out some tree straps (kinder to trees) and try the tauntline hitch (kinder to your teeth). liking your vids, keep it scrambled!

[@ScrambledO]

Don Milligan you are right man. Once I realized it was biting into the tree I stuck a dead piece of cedar in between the paracord and the living tree. I will have to pay more attention to the tree next time and see if that is causing any damage... straps seem like a quick and easy way to do it, but I try to limit what I keep in my pack. I will definitely look into that knot. My dentist would like that haha. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it Don.

[@DonMilligan]

I'm sure the tree is fine, I just try to be a LNT hangar.

[@twalters83]

Lol...the loopityloop is called a figure 8 on a bite.

[@TheECOChannel]

Good stuff Scrammy! That first knot looks like a (Figure 8 on a bite).

[@ScrambledO]

Steve Williams Yeaaaa, that's what that knot is. Thanks Steve.

[@hockeysniper4425]

First viewer right here

[@ScrambledO]

:-) Good timing

[@DanuraJay]

Thanks!

[@handicamper101]

very cool, and thanks for sharing

[@kentbove9505]

Nice knots I have sailed for 7 years so I know most of knots

[@pidgeiam4979]

Thanks man that'll help. Keep up the good stuff and funny outbursts I enjoy the vids man. Pidge.

[@ScrambledO]

PiDGE IAM One thing i have realized is that it is rather rough on the bark to use paracord, so i am gonna switch to another cordage or sling system. Thanks for watching PidGe!

[@themiwoodsman7222]

looks like they work for ya ! good knots ! atb john

[@ScrambledO]

the mi woodsman thanks man, I am still learning but I got the bare minimum memorized haha

[@waykno8478]

First guy line knot=Siberian Hitch--good one.

[@zoehancock]

I paused this at 2 seconds. Went away, came back later an thought it was a close up of a nutty chocolate bar! Been on the new year's diet for two long methinks ... If you take a lighter to the paracord and melt the ends it won't fray, and will please the finikity amongst us ...

[@Vercippu]

Ylvis - Trucker's hitch A must see for everyone :)

[@ScrambledO]

+Vercippu Thanks!

[@NWIPrepper19113]

You will be a regular Daniel Boone before you know it. Go to the library and (if you've never seen one) check out a Boy Scout Manual. Lots of really good stuff in there. You'll love it.

[@ScrambledO]

NWIPrepper19113 Awesome. Thanks I will check it out.

[@gitargr8]

ScrambledO AnimatedKnots.com is an awesome resource as well. Your first knot is a figure of 8, just tied with a bight. For your taught line side, check out the Midshipman's hitch.

[@ScrambledO]

gitargr8 thank you for the resource! I am definitely not an expert, just sharing what I know. Which happens to be very little hahah

[@kryptoniterxn117]

very nice man. burn off the ends of your cords to keep them from fraying

[@ManLand]

That's as easy as 3-2-1...Contact!...lol. Me likes it..I'm wanting to purchase a tent because I have a Wife...but I might just sneak me in a Hammock just because I need that insurance...you know the Dog House from time to time...lol.

[@ScrambledO]

Yea I definetley smell what you sizzle mannnn. Gotta have a back up plan! Hahahah

[@TrollMan420]

Great tutorial. Not one to think there's any right or wrong way to achieve the same outcome. Just curious as to why you choose cord over straps. I've been using ratchet straps (with the hooks and ratchets cut off) since I've started hammocking. Rated to the same weight limit, they're typically lighter and pack smaller, and they provide the added benefit of protecting the tree by distributing the weight over a larger area. Even if that's not a concern of a particular camper, I've been to several sites that won't allow cord for this reason and advise "tree friendly" options. I find them incredibly easy to work with -no knots necessary. Just wondering, is there a reason you prefer cord?

[@oliverwest7780]

from now on I shall call figure 8s loopedity loops

[@Sharberboy]

+Psymon Psyduck hahaha it looks figure 8 with a weird step...

[@ScrambledO]

Easy as 1...2...3...

[@MMFWCLmetalhead]

+Scrambled O Oi! How big is yer tarp mate? Cheers, Swampy

[@MundusTransit]

what do you use that ground pad for with your hammock

[@alegrogaming4139]

Kinda like a figure eight knot

[@ScrambledO]

+Alegro Gaming Yup!

[@shorea27]

Can that thin cord really hold your weight on that hammock?

[@YManCyberDude]

This guy reminds me of that guy that is so excited to get pancakes on that hotel commercial with the muslim leprechaun . . . The knot you say is similar to a Bowline is called a Figure 8 Loop… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_loop Your next knot is the Halter Hitch or with an extra turn is the Siberian Hitch… NotableKnotIndex.webs.com/haltersiberian.html Your last knot seems to be a variation off the Adjustable Grip Hitch… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable_grip_hitch

[@castigadormarjon]

How large is your tarp shelter?

[@houseoffire72]

Sir Jedi Knott 'O...

[@ScrambledO]

houseoffire72 Yoooou know it mannnn! Hahah

[@dakotahurt7164]

[@hempseedaddict]

You can tell good stock by good teeth ;-)

[@ScrambledO]

***** LOOL, My dentist would shake his head at my methods LOL

[@roymoore2435]

Weird O

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

Scrambled....what are your thoughts on the eno hammock? Single or double? Also, what tarp is that? I currently use a basic Walmart tarp and a 20.00 hammock. Lookin' to upgrade....thanks.

[@ScrambledO]

WoodsTrekka' This is the doublenest. I don't think I could sleep with another person in it. I feel like you would probably need to use the official ENO hammock straps to secure it super tight to the trees or else it would stretch too much and would be uncomfortable. It is an Egret 10x12 nylon tarp... A bit large for what I like to do. I will be looking for a smaller size if I can get a good price on one. I used several wal mart tarps before investing in this one... Just needed something more packable and lightweight. Thanks for watching WoodsTrekka!

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

Your welcome brother....thanks for the quick responses! I like your osprey pack too! Can't beat that company in my book. I will be looking out for your future adventures for sure. I'm glad your sharing them!

[@pasportsman4784]

Will 550 cord hold a 180 pound person not sure if it actually holds 550 pounds

[@trevordyer2124]

I go with 850 cord and I'm only 150 pounds

[@Sharberboy]

Anyone know what tarp that was?

[@ScrambledO]

I can't remember the brand name... 12 x 10' ... if I ever remember the name I will come back and let you know.

[@Sharberboy]

Thanks, it looks big.

[@chadsnowball6550]

Size of tarp?

[@castigadormarjon]

Bowlines are much easier to untie.

[@castigadormarjon]

Figure 8 knot.

[@JohnGreen_US]

Like the knots - they work great for the tarp - but get some low cost, low weight 1" tree straps to use around the tree for your hammock. There's no reason to risk damage to the trees you, and everyone to follow, enjoy. Yeah, I see the disclaimer that you placed at the beginning of the vid - good. For those wondering how cheap and easy it is to make straps, here's one example of many different ways that to make tree straps and use with paracord for less than $5. Maybe you, Scrambled, could do a new vid on how you'd make and use straps - that would be a great subject. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmWvdaGol72rfLM
