Hammocking.

.

A new idea for how to hang.  Worth the trouble?  Maybe.  Worth the price?  Already in fairly deep.  The question, however, is when.  Not this month.  Maybe next.

Whoopie slings?  Sounds fun.  Sounds... more fun than it actually is.  But... that's... a whole other theoretical thread?  Perhaps.  Vids.

How the thing is used.  And, to me, why it is so slick.  If it can really hold that much weight, it would be quite the thing.  For 6 mm cord, it is supposed to have a breaking point of almost seven thousand pounds.  Now, working load is usually between 15% and 25% of the breaking weight, so... 1,050 to 1,750 pounds.  Though, that is per side.  And, with two of them attached to the hammock, that is at least a ton of working load.  Which... even works for me, swinging like a fool.

Now, you can buy them.  Or you can make them.  The price is fairly similar, to be honest.  The question is, do the manufacturers use spec, solid grade, materials?  Are the connections made correctly?  Don't know?  If you are going to trust your health, by hanging higher up, best to do it yourself.  People simply can't be trusted these days.  Plus, a new thing to do, learn.

Yea, I am thinking on it.  Besides.  I love the name.  Am I cad?  I was, and might well be again if God hadn't... suggested better.  Ha.  So be it.

Oh, and... didn't think I'd get a bm through the canyon of doom before food, but did.  So, decided to weigh myself after that, but before eating or drinking anything.  And?  256.8!  A whole pound off.  Nice.  I'll take that, too, for my read today.  I prefer to do it after bm's, but that doesn't always happen.  Didn't think, feel like, it would.  It deed, it deed!  Check.
