Thx Muttly and JS--I am thrilled that this worked for you, muttly. I can't imagine a simpler system... heck, no hardware at all--just grab a trailstick! No loops in the straps, nothing. It sure...

Lemme get this straight. You're all saying that mule tape, such as that available for 85 dollars for 500 feet (!) would be a primary hammock suspension, and work with the malrin hitch method I...

Ha ha, that's a good one about the sailors. Funny.

Grizz: "So just make sure your life insurance is paid up before you try this, and if somehow we don't get together in the next few weeks to compare notes I will infer that it didn't work. Will be...
