Ok, picture this.......

Yes it will work.

It wont be very easy to adjust/set up correctly (untying and tying the MSH to adjust position)

A whoopie sling set up will be lighter, and easier to adjust.

A cinch buckle system will be easier to adjust.

How about this. Uses a strap and a continuous loop as mentioned, but is easy to adjust.

Or you could just larkshead the end of a UCR or Whoopie behind the MSH knot and leave a large loop in the tree strap instead of using a toggle.






I have used both of these methods to hang and neither has slipped once tightened by sitting in the hammock. For the record I weigh about 210.

11' hammock, endless loops in the channels, 12' tree straps with Marlinspike hitches w/toggles. Just place the endless loop over the MSH like you would a whoopie sling. Anybody tried this? And, if you use sticks for toggles, it's a totally metal free system! Of course you would lose a little on the "ease of adjustment" part of the equation, but it's lightweight and simple.

I do that often when the trees are close. Works great.

That first pic is just a slippery sheet bend.
