I use locked brumels with thimbles for all the standing rigging on my boat. Now I need a bunch of continuous loops, for anchoring purposes. I too, came across in other tutorials the first method you showed, I didn't like it! So thanks for explaining the continuous locked brummel. Well done! That one I trust!!

Both of those techniques are BAD nether is creating a proper Brummell lock pull the loop not the ends and you will see the lock comes apart. The proper way to create a loop with a Brummell lock you need to unbraid the second end and then rebrand it around the opposite side NOT the ends. Whe you pull the loop it is locked. Then bury the ends (and taper)

Would be interesting to know how much the brummel will lower the breaking strength. Be course it will. Or the radical bend in the rope will. Better to just stich a normal loop.

If I’m not mistaken, your retaining at most 30% x 2 of the rope strength with the second method, since the burry is not going inside the other side. Your basically doing two splices (one on each side) connected (in terms of strength). Maybe a little weaker, since you’re going through the middle. Am I missing something? You might not be using knots, but the 180 turn loses the same amount of strength as if you had a knot. So, if my math is not wrong, they strength of the first sling should be 200% (of rope strength), while the second should be 120% (assuming you lose 70% on a bend). The math for the second one is: down to 30% because of the 180 turn, but x2 because there are 2 strands holding it, so 60%; that’s the weak part, so 50% of the load applied to it makes the sling equivalent to 120% strength. I think it’s actually a little less than that because of of the passing through, though I’m not sure about that part.

Over time, I discovered that 90% of the time I didn't need a bugnet or top cover. Now I just soak my hammocks in permethrin a couple of times a season and I'm good. Mosquitos and noseeums don't tend to be that active after dark. I generally get to camp near dark. By the time I've pitched my tarp and hammock and had dinner, it's dark. Remove the bugnet/top cover from the equation, and you don't have to worry about switching from left to right. Just buy a gathered end hammock wide enough to taste at about a third of the price with less weight. I own about 20 hammocks with and without bugnets as well as hammock socks. 90 percent of the time, I grab a basic no net gathered end hammock. I use a double layer (reduces bites through fabric) with net in the Everglades. I use a sock when it's going to be well below 20 F. The rest of the time, I just climb in a hammock without fiddling with zippers.

Thank you very much for the video! Ultralight seems a little less money with hammocks then tents. Maybe not, I just paid 400 for a dyneema tarp from hammock gear, by the time I get it all together it might be about the same. I understand the saying buy once cry once though.

Hello Nick, I really like the way you laid everything out and made everything easy to understand...right up until you pushed the 2nd hole past the 1st hole and bent the line 180 degrees before burying it. Have you found anyone doing a strength test using your 180 degree bend? My best guess is that you reduce the loop strength by about 1/2 which is fine if you're not putting a heavy load or a shock load on it. I understand the abundance of caution when people stitch a locked brummel with thread, but honestly the loop should never come loose unless you're picking at the crossover between the 2 bury points...if you worry about that and are lazy, you could use some shrink-wrap tubing. By the way, if you want a strong splice, and you're using 1/8" rope, the bury should be about 9" (72 times the diameter, or ~3 1/2 fid if you have a full length fid). Meanwhile, I "liked" and saved your video just because I like how you calculated the lengths, and how you showed everyone that you don't need to buy a $70 fid kit...just a "poker" (a marlinspike) and a piece of wire :) I always wondered if the clamping shoelace threaders that look like fly-tying bobbins would work for larger diameters (1/4" or greater) of hollow core rope, for threading up the middle.
