Anyone know what an UltraPod is?
It is a slick little tripod substitute for hiking and photography. Uses a Velcro wrap to attach to a branch to hold your camera. By my count I have left three of these little gems on trees or posts.
Which brings me around to.......
Why I am using all-in-one straps, AHE buckles and 'biners for my CJH and HH. I wrap the strap around the tree (once or twice depending on dia) clip the 'biner back onto the strap, pay the strap out of the Bishop bag, repeat on the second tree (oh, yeah - the Camp Nano 'biner is a handy weight for flipping the strap around a big tree) and adjust the hammock body hang. QED.
No separate components for me to leave on the tree. And for those of us who are getting a bit forgetful, that is very important!
