Hey All,
I've got an Explorer Ultralight with the skinny spectra cord suspension ropes. Question is does anyone have a photo/illustration/link to a video/etc… that shows how those are tied on originally? When I go from memory it does not look quite right. All the photos,etc.. I've come across so far have been for the large rope type. I know mine was tied on differently that those. It is a two hole connection version.
Thanks.

Got a reply from Hennessy. They want me to send it in. Not going to that. So anyone out there who can give me an answer?

Hi Ken,

This video has some good images of the HH knot. It looks like it is fat rope but the knot might be the same as the thinner rope?

Hope this helps!

Thanks Rick. I worked it out long ago. It's a bowline. Haven't fallen yet.

Cool! I'm glad you got it taken care of.

I'm currently upgrading my HH hanging system. I ordered some stuff from Dutchware.
