Comments about Byer Amazonas MicroRope:

I love the idea of this product. Of course you could just by some rope and do the same thing. I found it a bit difficult to adjust the metal pin but once it was set it was very secure. One plus was that if you are setting it up in the same spot everytime it is a very quick and easy set up. This is where the product really shined.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Byer Amazonas MicroRope:

I borrowed these from a friend for backpacking and found the system to be functional, but not really dialed in. If you aren't familiar with how to use the toggles, it will take a little getting used to, but anyone who knows how to tie jam-free knots will do fine.

What I don't like about this setup is the damage you can do to trees. I typically hike in pine-covered areas, some of which have been superficially damaged by fire. Rope really cuts into the bark, exposing the bare wood underneath. Any tree with loosely-held bark is also at risk.

Instead, I use 1.5" nylon web slings and a couple of carabiners. When set up properly, this gives you much better slip control, and won't damage bark (you still have to be careful about selecting the right trees).

If you are able to find good hardwood stands, then this is probably not a bad choice. But be mindful of potential damage to the flora.

    Comments about Byer Amazonas MicroRope:

    They seem to work, I didn't fall during my nap in my hammock. The only down side is that there are no instructions on how to properly set it up.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
