    For those trying to move away from plastic I recommend buying some hemp cord and learning to tie a taut line hitch. It can serve a similar purpose as a zip tie

    Please comment with your favorite knots

      That’s gonna be bowline and taut line hitch from me, friend! I’m zip ties for life, but they’re not gonna hold my hammock up.

        Bowline is a great knot. Definitely my go to for making loops and linking small lengths of cord together. I’ve even used it on a blanket to create tie outs to insulate the bottom of my hammock.

          Nice-- I just use spring clamps to attach blankets to my hammock lol… But I bet rope would be better in a few ways.
