Alternatives to Rucksack Straps and Freshwater Double Hammock Carry

Ruck strap alternatives and Freshwater Double Hammock with a woven wrap

There are many woven wrap back carries that use rucksack straps – the straight down from your shoulder and under your armpit straps that are shaped like backpack straps. See the closest strap in the photo of Dana, below:

Double Hammock Carry is one of those carries that has rucksack straps, but whenever you have rucksack straps, you have other options, too. Because, as I always tell you, woven wraps are infinitely versatile!

SAFETY NOTE: These wraps are not the same as stretchy wraps like the Moby or Solly wrap. Do not use my instructions on a soft jersey wrap (they usually feel similar to tshirt material) as they are made for the extra strength and support of a woven wrap only.

Alternatives to Rucksack Straps

Instead of Rucksack straps, 3 popular alternatives are to create a sternum twist, cross over your chest or make a half knot at your chest. I show all 3 in my 30 second video below:

Double Hammock Finishes

Double Hammock Carry can be done with all the above variations because it has rucksack straps, but because it also has a spread chestpass, that opens up even more possibilities!

Freshwater Finish, is one of them:

Now just wait until you get into a carry with a chestpass, a waistpass AND ruck straps – the possibilities get really fun!
