BIAB drawbacks?

[LabRatBrewer]

It creates a loop that can be shortened and lengthened easily at the knot and holds the length when tension is applied. Attach the loop to a point in the ceiling, clip a biner to your bag, clip the loop on, lift the bag by pulling the standing end and making the loop shorter.

You can also use a Midshipman's Hitch:

Thank you. I'll have to try it. I have a ratchet system but I'd like to see this work.

Be careful with the jam knot, as it can slip.

I would recommend the trucker's hitch because it's the most secure as well as providing mechanical advantage. You won't regret learning it if you don't know it already.

I like the truckers hitch. I always wanted to be able to put up a clothesline and a taunt line on the tent. Thanks again.
