Most of us have a long list of technique we have learned from the school of hard knocks. I learn the technique, but don't remember when, how or why.
On August 8, 2010 at 12:45 am the LineLoc used to tension my hammock tarp slipped all the way to the stopper knot. I do not remember why I put stopper knots on LineLocs. The slack allowed major flapping and a stake pulled out. When I got up to rerig the tarp my quilt blew out of the hammock. In the lightening flashes I saw that the quilt hung up on a bush, so since it was not raining that hard, yet, I rerigged my tarp then retrieved my quilt.
Six months from now I will be backing my LineLocs up with a slipped halfhitch, but will not tremember why.
