Just wondering....is it possible to use additional overhand knots to incorporate more than 1 extra anchor within a y-hang system?

Yes. Or clove hitches.

Yes- with long enough sling/cordlette include multiple. This results in the overhand on the bight being triple/quadruple or whatever multiple you use- see a handbook for pics

Out of interest, what are you trying to achieve? By y-hang I would mean something to do with abseiling with a haul bag or injured climber.

Not 'y-hang' in a rescue context David, I was asking about linking and equalising multiple gear placements together using the rope (to also minimise the amount of gear needed).

Hi, is this to create a direct belay, or an indirect?
