I just like to fiddle and mess with my gear :laugh: Although changing my suspension over to whoopies has made adjustments much easier and faster. Mostly just a fiddlier on my part though.

Stock WBBB with straps and buckles. Works fine.
Stock underquilt, works fine.
My only mod was to cut a foot and a half off the hammock webbing straps to save a little weight when backpacking.
but don't get me started on stoves...
You don't need to do any modifications to sleep well on a hammock.
It's just that hammocks are more fun to tinker with than tents.
You can cut a few ounces off the weight, cut a few second off your setup time, make your straps removable so they can be stored separately after being coated with pine sap :scared:
You get the idea.
Tinkering
Evolution
Creativity/Thinking outside the box
Boredom
Take your pick
Edit. Or in my case, its obsessive compulsive hammock disorder..which I guess qualifies as neurosis'ssss

I started with an ENO, I had to modify it. It came with no suspension just some carabiners that weighed a ton. I put whoopies on it and sewed a bug net on loved it..... till i got a WBBB. Then the DYI began! Its an addiction, hobby, sport and a passion. Just start and hang everything will fall into place.
