Becket Hitch Suspension

[@Olympic_TryAthlete]

Just got some custom Dyneema straps. 15’ each plus some 6’ Dyneema Whoopie straps. The extra length is because I do a lot of hiking in the Olympics and sometimes you have to use some fairly big trees. At any rate, the straps work great for the most part. Essentially no stretch. When I got the package with everything in it, I thought for sure that something didn’t get shipped. It was all there. Just really compact and lightweight. I haven’t had the knots slip if I do a Becket hitch. I find I have to tug pretty good to pull it loose. I started doing a double wrap around a carabiner and tying a quick release loop that I then clip into the carabiner for security. Easily adjustable and you doubt have to feed the loose end of the strap all the way through the cord of the hammock.

Excellent video. Although, I do miss the acoustic guitar open from prior videos.

I had to slow the video down to .25 speed to see how the knot was tied. Otherwise it is a good video with useful advice.

How do you prepare this suspension for rain? I'm thinking about the Becket for the Traveler. Thanks

Water will drip down once it reaches the knot

Is the beckett hitch just a marlinspike hitch without the marlin spike?

[@jeffmyers7062]

no it's a different knot

Got a link to those tree straps?

[@warbonnetoutdoors211]

Should be available on our site very soon

[@muzbrake]

Can you do that with normal poly or nylon webbing?

[@warbonnetoutdoors211]

It will work best with webbing that is flexible and bunches up to be more rope-like, so a thin flexible webbing will work better than a stiff one. But yes you can tie the same knot with polyester webbing

Does it bother anyone else that Warbonnet has a logo of a Native American with a Native American head dress and it's owned by a white man? I bought an underquilt from this company and when I saw the logo I had to send it back and they charged me a 20% restocking fee but I could not stomach the cultural appropriation by this company.
