dd 2010 Travel Hammock Bivi set up pegging out mod

[kesom]

i own a DD Travel hammock and when i used it in the bivi set up and when i staked down the cord the ends of the bivi bag can still slide and when you tighten up the mozi net with the bungee cord supplied off a ridge line the corners of the bivi move in towards the middle.

I've mentioned this in the caribiner mod thread and have talked with DD about it and they may some tags to tie onto on the corners in their next model !! :)

i've come up with a solution based on the way you can use a stone to grip onto a tarp

what i done first was folded the corner of the hammock and wrapped the supplied cord around it as below and tightened it with a simple over hand knot

2225
2226
and you end up with a nice tight grip on the corner with plenty of cord to tie onto :)

just simply do this to all 4 corners and when tie'n it to pegs leave some slack and when you lift the mozi net with bungee cord it all tightens up pretty nicely,unfortunately i dont have any pics of it set up yet but will update the post when i get some :)
also the guy's that have already done the caribiner mod could just use some para cord or simular to tie down with using this method
any more suggestions welcome
peace,ken :)
