Make a Dyneema Button Shackle for Hammock Stand - Tensahedron
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 кві 2020
- I have been using a Tensahedron Hammock stand that I made a couple months ago. Since I camp on the desert quite a bit, this stand allows me to use a hammock where there are no trees. The hammock I use is actually one of our ponchos which can be set up in a hammock mode, it is very comfortable. Anyway the hammock stand is four legs that are flexibly connected using a Dyneema Button Shackle. In this video I show how to make one. They can be used in many places where you might use a carabiner as well. I will be making a video on how to make the hammock stand soon.
NOTE: I USED A FID IN THIS VIDEO TO MAKE THE SHACKLE, YOU CAN ALSO USE HOOKS, TURNING HOOKS ETC. Find these items by searching for "eye splice with Fid"

very nice and clear instructions looking forward to the video on the rest of the stand
Thanks 👍
I was ignorant to the making of this. And all the terminology that went along with it. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain such a simple and useful tool/item!
Perry, hope all your family and friends are doing well. Seems the world has gone totally nuts the last couple months. I took an early retirement to get out of the rat race. Maybe now i can get out and explore nature. Thanks for doing what you do. It brings a sense of normalcy in an otherwise Bat crap crazy world. all the best
A great reminder Perry. Thanks... I've got some Zing-It for little projects, which I'd completely forgotten that I had. I need to make some stuff. Glad to see you're doin' well during this mess.
Valuable instructions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Haven't seen a video in a while. Please let us know that you and yours are well.
5 months now since a video hope he is ok...
Update..Just seen his comment ya he is doing good he just tied up with work thank God he's doing good
Yeah I'm OK. I've been camping weekly like normal, my weekdays have been excessively busy during the Covid, so no time for editing video, now I have tons to edit and I'm getting my time back, so stay tuned....Thanks for hanging in there.
Good to see you again.
Hey, thanks
This is a UA-cam OG
Thanks Perry for that tutorial on the splicing. I'm looking forward to one on the stand itself. I live where there's trees everywhere but when in your country I need the stand for hanging my hammock. As always a nice video.
IS PERRY OK?? HES DISAPPEARED OFF UA-cam
Yup I'm here, back now, too much going on during Covid to get videos edited, more on the way now.
Thank you for your knowledge Perry, Always good to hear from you. When is your next camping video ?
Is everything OK friend ? Miss your videos.
John Grytbakk we are doing well, just cleaning up things from Covid, have new videos soon. Thanks !!
Perry are you OK? It's been a long time since last video.
Mick Richards doing great, working almost round the clock though getting things caught up from Covid, I have lots of video, just need to take a breather and do some editing.
@@wildernessinnovation So glad to hear all is well.. Looking forward to your videos, God,s Blessing to you and family.
Thanks Perry! Can you tell us what size amsteel you used and what size fid please?!
Thank you!!
we use 1/8" and have a fid for that size, I've not been able to find that fid again, don't know if they still make them..Much better than using a hook.
Pretty sure that once you lock the loop (locked brummel) the bury no longer has to follow the "X x d" where d is the diameter of the amsteel to constrict on itself. At that point the bury makes it "nicer looking". Great Info, though. Thanks!
You still around Perry?
You make that look so easy. I’ve only played with making some lines out of 1.75 zing-it. That fid looks easier to use then a piece of wire. What size Amsteel are you using for your rig ? Looking forward to the next video on this.
-4arl, nice explanation. How did you choose the wall thickness on the tubing. I assume you are using .075 6061 T6. Do you break the edge on the inside of the hole in the tubing?
These are made from EMT (electrical conduit) 1" and 3/4" as for breaking or chamfering, I just do the best I can, initially I used a chamfer bit to get the outside. Now I just try to remove the burr. I use a belt sander to do that on the outside and a piece of conduit on the inside, sliding it back and forth to break off the burr. I made a number of the stands in this manner. I also purchased an aluminum telescoping pole from Tensa Outdoors, I got the Solo and really love it. Its very sturdy aluminum, 5 sections heavy wall, not sure how thick, I haven't mic'd it. Nice for a ready made solution. I'll have a bunch of videos up on the full stand and the Solo soon. Thanks for asking
Is this guy still doing youtube been 5 months since last video
Yeah I'm back, released a shorty today, several more in the works. I've still been camping every week, and shooting video, but not editing it, working too much....
Perry,
I see you've been in some gnarly situations where I frequently camp and hike up to in a notuonal game preserve the number of mountain lions/cougars has really grown 1st one now 9, two years ago on game cams, and with two three converging wolf packs and a she bear; I watch bear grylls, and as a note worthy survival expert, he recommended throwing down your food when you see a bear and running away, think of all the money I will save on bear spray, and no extra weight carring a pistol on my hip. So at night I've thought I might not wake before a bear or a cougar even a pack of wolves attacks me in Bear's line of thinking I just tie a couple of pork chops around my neck at time making all these animals happy to come upon me asleep in my tent and knowing I've given them a snack and being happy to see me and all they will all realize I mean them no harm, I think these sweet animals will gratefully take the pork chops and just move on, how do you feel about this animal friendly approach? 😜
Best David
Hey do you have veteran discount for any of your products also do you allow us postal service money orders to pay for products? Can you cut a sleeping pad 3" to 80 inches long I'm a tall guy.
Thanks
David
P.S. Bear Grylls is such a wealth of knowledge, what do I know only been mountaineering and backpacking for 50 years now out alone most often sure nice to see wild animals in habitat unless they're up a tree ready to eat you.
Thanks dave
Perry, where are you? We miss you out here. We're sick of political videos we need some poncho camping.
Haha, I'm back, released a little shorty this morning. I've been camping each week like normal, but haven't been editing video....Thanks for the comments.
